if the SoFaF rumor is true, this could work pretty well as an instant with Bear Umbra. you could use quest for renewal also if you had enough manadorks.
then again, it would HAVE to be instant speed... here's hoping.
This is strong as an instant. For six mana, you get 6 total power spread among three creatures. For more than that, you just start going above the curve. As a sorcery, eh.
Hopefully this will be Mirrodin's Decree of Justice. I'm not too excited though.
The Zenith cycle is generic, meaning it has no specific ties to the Mirrodin block and could easily be reprinted in Core, so it makes no sense to use Cat Clerics. If anything it would make Human soldiers.
Also, White usually deals in 1/1 tokens en masse.
Nothing about this seems legit.
I don't know about you, Phyrre, but five colored mana-suns seems pretty specific to Mirrodin to me. That's not to say they probably couldn't reprint some cycles like this one in Core, though (COMMAND CYCLE TOO AMIRIT?).
I don't see this being instant, but I could be wrong. They sometimes veer away from token making being instant, remember. Typically, it has to matter for them to give it at instant (e.g. - Ally triggers, Metalcraft enabling).
Meh... Better than the lifegain suck I was expecting, and it makes 2/2s, but I think I would still prefer Conqueror's Pledge. WWW also hurts, because the only way for it to be very useful is in ramp.

I like this! I like how well is plays with Elspeth Tirel. I have wanted to use her more since she came out but there hasn't been enough fuel. Perhaps with this is will hit critical mass.
Not a bad card at all, but I have to wonder about it's flavor. The other feel almost prophetic you know, like when the green sun reaches its zenith a great creature appears, or when the blue sun reaches its zenith great knowledge is gained, black all things get weakened, red fire and destruction, but white is when the white sun reaches its zenith an army of cats appears... I mean, that's pretty neat and all, but not exactly awe-inspiring.:p

Except with standard color orders it would be Cat army, knowledge, stuff dies, more stuff dies, then a green creature appears.
If it's an instant then this is a very nice X token producer because 5 for 2 2/2's at instant speed is solid and everything over that is great. At sorcery speed it's a bit worse but still a limited bomb.
Nice card, although it really pales in comparison to the rest of the cycle at least it wasn't life gain. But as an Instant (hoping it is) producer is worth playing, playing this at EOT or at the battle phase of on opponent would be really game breaking. If this card is an instant it gives it more versitality, making it more resilient to sorcery speed mass removal such as DoJ, Black Sun's Zenith, Slagstorm, etc. it's only considerable weakness is Consume the Weak.
#1 - What's the dumbest idea you ever had?
#2 - 15/15 for 15?
#1 - Make it dumber
#2 - Give it protection from removal and counter?
#1 - DUMBER!
#2 - Add Timewalk?
#1 - DAMN IT MAN, I SAID DUMB!! DUMB !!!
#2 - It destroys everything when it attacks.... And wait, I have a friend who plays mill decks... I want to beat him too.
#1 - Excellent! Recess is over, go back and learn sex-ed with the other 6th graders.
if it's a sorcery, would it have killed them to drop a single white? I mean, unless you're doing some dumb everflowing chalice proliferate gimmick the card's just... bad.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
I think Instant speed is the cards redeeming quality. Yes, it's more expensive, but with all the good removal (Black Sun's Zenith and Slagstorm) those Cats will most likely not survive past your opponent's turn unless you cast during the End Phase.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.
Not sure how I feel about this one. With higher amounts of mana, it's insane, but you need at least 7 mana for this not to be underwhelming. If this were green, it'd be a lot more interesting, but given the existing green Zenith, I'm not complaining. Still good in EDH.
then again, it would HAVE to be instant speed... here's hoping.
Hopefully this will be Mirrodin's Decree of Justice. I'm not too excited though.

Doesn't work that way. First Strike damage step and normal strike damage step are two different steps, you can't float mana through them.
You could still hit it for X=7, put 14 power on the board, and have all your lands untapped.

i wish there was a 1cc 1/1 all cat creatures get +3/+3 and lifelink for this hahaha
I think we should all be very thankful for that.
And yet it would still all die to Black Sun's Zenith set to 2BB...
