4/4
Hardened Scales G
Enchantment (R)
If one or more +1/+1 counters would be placed on a creature you control, that many plus one +1/+1 counters are placed on it instead.
*edit* WHoops. Meant 9/5. Derp.
*edit2* Added third preview card.
For a moment I thought you meant 9 power/ 5 toughness. I was like Whaaaaaat!!
Cool cards. Empty the pits begs to be built around and is a great mythic. The ogre is really solid and a lot better than what we've been seeing from some of the 3 color creatures.
For 8 mana (Army of the Damned's cost) you only get two zombies with this plus one for every two cards you exile with delve. Doesn't sound cheaper to me.
Could be a 1 of finisher in control, I mean we have fetches, random spells that we have no way to recure from the GY, prognostic sphinx, etc.
It's like a bad white sun's zenith... I feel BBB XX would have been a ton better.
This card rules--totally fun and feels mythic, also its much more comparable for to white sun's zenith than army of the damned. I think that having urborg to fix mana actually makes the cost an easier one to swallow and the tapped clause doesn't matter because really you'll be doing this for a good amount of zombies EOT--just like WSZ, so the drawback of coming into play tapped doesn't really matter just like the cats not having haste and getting swept would suck.
I'll reserve judgement completely as far as playability goes but I'll assume we have some sweet delve enablers, and this makes a fine finisher.
I like the Savage Knuckleblade. It is exactly what I want to see out of Temur. Plus it goes great with Training Grounds. G: ~ gets +2/+2 until end of turn. Activate this ability once per turn. U: Return ~ to it's owner's hand. R: ~ gains haste until end of turn.
Yet ANOTHER wedge creature that has absolutely no flavorful connection for its abilities and just looks like three in color add on's, like the new mantis rider.
Im not complaining, these cards are both ok in my book, but I swear multiple members of WotC staff said this is the type of card design they were avoiding. No? Am I losing my mind?
Also, zombie maker is OBSCENE! Totally love it, very cool finisher for delve decks. I feel like it has combo potential (not standard)

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.

You're welcome! Instant makes a HUGE difference. It's a strictly better Army of the Damned. Looses flashback, but costs less and gains instant speed.

it could quite easily be. especially with urborg and any random discard outlets that are standard legal.
shame pack rat is rotating, otherwise it would DEFINITELY see some play. now it's only a "probably".
It's like a bad white sun's zenith... I feel BBB XX would have been a ton better.
When I first made that comment, I thought the spell was sorcery.
Having the spell at instant speed makes a huge difference.
