Four drop that doesn't do anything when he lands, has an effect that requires to untap but doesn't have haste, and dies to Lightning Strike and Bile Blight? The odds are against him.

I fear I won't have much time to play Magic these days.
I get to watch worlds develop around me.
I get to watch great leaders, terrible oppressors, and trend setters rise and fall.
Limited, Standard, Modern, everything is a different playing field I feel I can observe, but will not actually touch.
I look forward to the stories I will hear.
And more so to the ones I will watch unfold first hand.
Isn't the unknown exciting?
msun: Knives scoop ice cream.
Highroller: No they don't, knives don't scoop. Spoons scoop.
msun: Well, knives SHOULD scoop icecream.
Highroller: We have spoons that do it. Moreover, the shape of a knife that would scoop ice cream would make it horrible for performing the functions of a knife.
msun: Highroller, you bring up spoons as though they were the utensil used for scooping ice cream.
Due to an unfortunate smelting accident... I LIKE GOLD! Alright my Austin Powers references are over. I like this card. He will certainly be played by somebody at FNM. I doubt it will see much play by anybody other than those types casual FNM players.

All your base are belong to us!
RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
Was 4 toughness really too broken for standard Wizards? So much potential, but all wasted on a super easy to kill 3 butt. He will be regulated to an easily killed, expensive combo piece.
FINALLY!
I've been waiting for a card that would make all my copies of Aura of Dominion worth something!
You can sac the gold token to activate the ability again ad infinitum.
I dub this combo Aurum of Dominion!
I see what you did there, and i judge it a truly golden pun.
My brain would explode if they reprinted Opposition. I can't even think of a card (aside from multiple cards restricted in Vintage) that Mono Blue Devo would like more.
If we got a Freed from the Real bestow guy, I'd be ALL OVER this guy.
Honestly? I'd be all over that. Could double as a removal spell or an inspired enabler. Unfortunately, I believe the realistic version would look like this.
Freed Spirit.

Wonder what the chances of Puppet Strings getting reprinted in M15 are LOL. This guy is bonkers and also knocks the flavor out of the park. The black cards so far are pure win.
New rule: When tutoring for this guy, you have to say "Dude, where's Macar?"
Ahahahahah that joke would have been hilarious years ago. Seriously though, this guy's rad. He gives me a huge flavor-boner.
I literally loled

Quote from Wolfman about lack of Conspiracy spoilers-
"I'd say this about guarantees that it won't be up till this Friday, but considering the current track record, the ETA is now probably two weeks after the set has been out."
Quote from Sirius_B
Speak for yourself, if drawing *****-headed wurms makes social justice warriors cry I'll make it my favorite hobby.
It's funny, because Aura of Dominion costs 1 to activate, and Midas makes his own gold to pay that cost as many times as creatures you want to transmute
The funniest part is that you can't blend it on the same EDH if Midas is your general, darn x.x
The best thing you can say about King Poop here is that, if you add a terrible enchantment that costs UU to activate, he functions like a slightly better Damnation. Well blow me down.
Look, this guy is probably bad because one of two things are usually going to be true:
1. The dude you want to kill is sitting on defense, so you can't swing into it or Emperor Turd won't live to untap.
or
2. You are using him as part of a combo with bad cards in order to cast Damnation (why are you not just playing Damnation?)
I guess for Standard he does basically function as a wall against enemy creatures when they don't have a way to kill him on defense - they won't swing with the Demon when they know Lord Crap is going to kill the Demon in response two turns later. But even that seems sketchy. Okay, so I get to swing with Demon, doing 5... and you get to swing with the Duke of Bowel Movements here... then I swing with Demon again, so I've done 10... and if you survive all of that, THEN you get to kill the Demon. Okay?
And I suppose removal will be pretty godawful in Standard once Ravnica rotates out... but really, even then, is something this slow even a consideration?
I see it more for modern or EDH rather than standard. Not only comboes with the aura, but with Arcbound Crusher with the overall strategy. You sweep the field with Midas, and Crusher deals serious damage then. Sadly, we're just talking about really synergistic cards, nothing which can get bonkers and give the victory on that turn.

All this talk of gold and excrement has made me realize this isn't an analogue for Midas, it is an analogue for Tywin Lannister.
