This is a nombo with a lot of what B is trying to do an doesn't have power to make up for that. Could we make it so that your opponents draw from the bottom of their library or beef it up? Currently making a defensive UB mill deck and this guy doesn't make the cut I don't think.

This is a kind of leftover guy from when I was trying to make the black abilities deal with the bottom of the library. He probably doesn't fit at all any more. Although in your mill deck this guy + mental collapse + revealt the top card = win!

We probably do want to keep a common regenerating creature in black though. The draw from bottom of library does not feel common, so maybe just swicth that to some expensive Portent cost?

Took the advice here and removed the ability. Gave him a flavour-based Portent cost! Might be more reasonable with an actual cost, though!

Kieran hits another home run!

OMG amazing Portent cost. I'm withholding my Like because the guy is a bit lackluster, though. Can we make him better? Or keep him crappy and move the amazing Portent cost somewhere else?

I think this guy can be 1B. Manor Skeleton is the same but has haste, this has a tough portent cost, especially as Portent is sorcery speed only.

I still hate that we are wasting this amazing portent cost on this terrible card. What would sac to get this???!

Thomas Baker · 2012-06-03 20:19:03

Dropped down to 1B since his Portent is mostly unplayable.

The Portent cost is awesome if black retains its minor sacrifice theme. Dalgath Apprentice, Dalgath Prowler, Undervault Horde and Coffin Breaker are all fine to sacrifice for a free creature but in the last common cull zero of them made it in. Undervault Horde should probably end up replacing Bone Beast at least - even though that guy is the best!

I finally like this guy!

Did good work last night.
