Okay. Anyways, not sure if multiple instances of the first ability stack or not, but regardless, that + Mindcrank = evil.

It does indeed stack. Which makes it immediately more awesome. Running spare mana into this in Limited even if you're just discarding and killing things is pretty awesome.

I'd rather Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank. That just wins you the game once its online.

Your going to kill them a lot faster with the mill then with the damage all other things being equal. IMO the damage ability could have cost 1 less since its about as good as the Rakdos guildmage's damage ability.

Edit: Wait, the 1 damage effect is always live once you use it that turn. Ok than, hes really good.

BEAT YOU RAI.

Also, we got confirmation on the Japanese and Spanish cards. (I love how Boros has been shafted by the previews so far. Every other guild has had at least 7-8 nonland previews, and they have 3.)

I think we were expecting Elusive Krasis. Mutant in translation will almost always go to Krasis, the base Simic term for their creations.

Completely unrelated, but still fun, titbit of the day: Sturmgeist, when literally translated into German, is 'storm spirit' obviously. However, there's already a card called Storm Spirit whose German Magic card is Sturmgeist. So the German translation of Sturmgeist is Unwettergeist.

Okay, Skyknight Legionnaire is cool.

My life is complete. [url=http://magiccards.info/query?q=!Pongify]Pongify[/url] functional reprint. Only difference is that Pongify makes green Apes, this card which translates as Rapid Hybridization makes green Frog Lizards. This will see play in the same way Beast Within saw play. I am quite sad that this makes Obzedat slightly worse. Might revert back to Serenity.

During RTR spoilers not all the guilds were getting an even amount of spoiled cards right off the bat. Come next week we should get a lot more stuff for Boros.

Anyway, I don't like the skynight since it doesn't look like its flying. It clearly has a mount, but still, its just the rider.

Beast Within got any permeant though plus it was green creature removal. Don't get me wrong, this is really good, but Beast Within is a different animal compared to this.


Anyway, even as someone that doesn't play counters I can't help but love Mystic Genesis. My Anima EDH deck that I've ignored for so long is finally getting some sweet stuff.

I never really care about what's better though :<
I just want an excuse to use Skynight. Though yea flash might be cool.

:> But Skyknight is 100% Limited fodder (unless you mean Lyev Skyknight). Just wait to get some really cool Boros rare or something. They're sure to get one, and probably a few cool token generators considering we already know there are 1/1 red and white Soldier tokens in GTC.

Seeing as Splatter Thug is arguably better for constructed application, especially. And Splatter Thug is a terrible constructed card.

American Aggro is plausible though. They have Geist, Skyknight, Precinct Captain, heck, the rest of the white wheenie stuff, and red gives it access to a lot of reach and access to whatever good boros stuff we get. Could be a very plausible deck, and I wouldn't even be that surprised if it got some results.
