Interesting. Looks real. Could be the Boros prerelease card, which looked like it had a flamekin art.

Looks alot like the prerelease card to me if you look at the size enhanced cards in the other thread.

Should be noted that this is the Reddit exclusive preview.

http://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/com..._card_foundry/

The card looks neat. Seems pretty powerful in limited. Not sure about constructed though.

Pretty sure this is the Boros promo, the text fits the tiny image on the Gatecrash Product site.

Looking at it though, I cant imagine how they could ever come to printing Inferno Titan...

Good for limited not sure if it'll see constructed play. Six mana is too much for aggro but maybe some Naya midrange or ramp build could run it

Interesting card, the design seems a little weird since the ETB ability has nothing at all to do with the Firebreathing/whatever the name for that white ability is

For some reason I feel like it should deal damage equal to its power when it enters the field because then you could increase how much he hits things for by firebreathing in response although I do see how this goes with the boros battalion mechanic and how you want to have more and more creatures

Great card. I love how eclectic the Boros numbers are in terms of their willingness to recruit various races such as an elemental, especially under seemingly rigid philosophical doctrines. Bottom line: cool creature for the Boros army.

I like the name, too.

It's ability is the way it is because it plays into the Boros swarm strategy.

6 mana for a 4/4 with a 1 time effect on entering play, plus it pumps itself, great in limited, but probably won't see much constructed play.
