Default [ARB] Kathari Remnant, Mind Funeral

I wish, I wish, I had a... ub card? Well then look what I found... It seems cleaning the house today has paid off, look what I found under the bed!

Kathari Remnant 2ub
Creature- Bird Skeleton (U)
Flying
b: Regenerate Kathari Remnant
Cascade
0/1

All in all it's only good for cascade. The p/t is horrid though, really I don't even see die-hard cascade lovers to play this without some justification.

Also, this Kathari clears up the final instance of "b" we had from the Orb. Hazah crunching!

Mind Funeral 1ub
Sorcery (U)
Target opponent reveals cards from the top of his or her library until four land cards are revealed. That player puts all cards revealed this way into his or her graveyard.

For three mana that is just downright rude. And as such it is why this card is highly amusing to me.

Nothing else is good enough to be played in standard.


so they'll eat it when ARB redefines standard

I think Mind Funeral is the worst name for a card since Giant Ambush Beetle.

I like mind funeral. I would need to test to see how good it is though.

What is the p/t of the kathari?

Yes! Sanity Grinding time!

That cascade spell is also just lazy. B for Will of the Wisp, and then 2U for playing something 3 or less mana? That's not even that much of an advantage even if you hit something that costs 3.

Funeral, late game in Draft is a winner! This is some serious mill win awesomeness.

*wonders how to get all the lands out of my opponents deck*
*perhaps that card that searches for a card for each swamp*

0/1. Edited it and fixed a couple spelling errors on it.

First card is...terrible. I don't care if it has Cascade. =/

Second card is really interesting, though. Too bad that I've already had my fill of mill (+2 rhyme bonus!) after scrapping my Sanity Grinding deck.

Hey, it's a GOOD mill card

And the other thing? Really, why couldn't it have had a larger P/T? It could've easily been a 2/1 and no one would've had a problem with it.

The mill card just made a lot of Glimpse The Unthinkable.dec players happy. If you got Nemesis of Reason and a couple of these, I could see some limited games being won through mill.

Kathari Remnant is . . . underwhelming.

Mind Funeral is kind of disgusting, though. My buddy likes to break out a U/B mill deck once in while, and I have a sinking feeling that I'll be seeing a lot of this card. Gross.

There are some pretty killer millers in this block. opening this and Nemesis of Reason in limited would be hilarious.

Mind Funeral is nasty. For decks running small landbases it is a killer, or at least a crippler. In draft it will be wicked. The bird is a turd.
