Oh look another ability that centers around tokens....hooray? Seriously though WotC, this is what your trying to wow the crowd with? Man I hope the next couple of mechanics are more interesting and we'll all consider these past two mechanics as one of the "weaker" ones of the block. The upside is that Scavenge does work well with dredge though so props?
You know I'm starting to think WotC is regressing on their philosphy of how the Color Pie works instead of trying to expand on it.

I can understand that you don't like Scavenge, but short of buffing tokens, scavenge has NOTHING to do with tokens... at all. That's some real crappy line of thinking you got there.

I keep forgetting that tokens and +1/+1 counters are not the same thing but I mostly just do not care for the same **** again from WotC. It's another "Let's make a mechanic that just messes around with +1/+1 counters" while Populate is "Lets make a mechanic that messes with tokens". I know that again, WotC can't pump out constantly knew creations like we wish they could, but it's just frustrating to see the same song and dance wearing a new pair of clothes, I just wish they'd at least try to be more creative, even if it means that we'll get either a broken mechanic or a really really bad mechanic, just knowing their pushing their creativity out of the comfort zone will at least be a welcome sight.
Also I know these mechanics are supposed to play well with the originals but you know what? Maybe they shouldn't have pushed for that kind of idea in the first place.
Honestly, I think i'll be switching to GB or Jund when RtR releases. That Scavenge while rehashed is still exciting to me as a player.

I'm liking Scavenge. Even though it's Reinforce from the graveyard. Still liking it.
And Deadbridge Goliath is kind of a beast. 5/5 for 4 w/ no drawback, PLUS he has extra utility when killed? Sign me up.
I find most of the following 5/5 creatures for 4 mana more fun and inspiring, even the ones with drawbacks (remove the spaces before and after the colon):
My $0.02 for the Transforming card. You guys post too fast, so I'm be dropping in once or twice a day. I can't keep up with all the posting, haha.

I really enjoy that card concept actually. Provoke seems a bit forced since thats more of a green/black ability (I think red has done it too though so I might be wrong) but it is part of the flavor of the card so thats great. If you want to be sneaky though you could try to push the cost up by another one and give the card Double strike and knocking the power down to 2 as that'd be more red and would make the provoke much more interesting.

I like the card. Personally I'd knock the toughness on the back side down by 1 or 2 so that it's more killable outside of combat, but that would be it.

Currently Getting Back into the swing of MTGS. Bear with me folks~
Well Zephy just texted me that he made it safely to Denver, meanwhile I'll be heading out of town myself soon. I'll be in Florida for my grandfather's funeral for tomorrow. I'll be home saturday afternoon most likely. You might see me update from my phone later from the plane. I'm most likely will not be taking my comp with me since you know, it'll only be day. :3

Good to hear Zephy landed without issue. I hope for the same for yourself Silence. Do let us known that you're alright when you arrived =3

So far it works for me, its a bit plain I guess the fact that he remains human but cardwise it works really well to me.
Well I am now in Zephyr Hills, Florida. The irony is not lost on me either Zephy.
Also a little info for what is happening here in Florida: As I said my grandfather has passed and it's been a bit rough on my father and his side of the family. So while they apparently already did the official funeral we're taking the ashes to the cemetary here in where him and my grandmother lived most of their lives. Tomorrow/Today we are instead celebrating his life which I think will be a nice change of pace really.

A good way to balance out his death, methinks. Of course people will be sad when someone dies, but you still need to remember what they gave to your life.
That too, the cost:effect is kinda underwhelming.

Wrong-o. Provoke is a Naya ability.
