MTG Salvation

I think a 1/2 for 2B is just too weak when all is said and done. The opponent also get choice of their discard and it's 6(!) mana to eternalize. Not really feeling this card.

hmmmm. By turn 4 when you can attack they probably have 2 blockers that will just eat it... and by the time you cast it for eternalize they arent going to have many cards to discard. so its basically a 4/4 menace for 6.

I think i will pass on this.

A pushed version of this would be very good. As a 2/2 with a megaembalm of 2BB, I'd be all over it. As is, it's not enough.

I run a hypno for old time's sake, and I'll still keep him in. Better on the initial, and also random discard.

Sure, as a 4/4 menace it's dangerous, but suffers from token susceptibility. It could probably pass in a budget cube, but won't find a home in mine.

This guy does a few interesting things. He can work as a kind of Hypnotic Specter early, before they have two blockers, and he wears any buffs like a champ. You don't have to be that afraid to chump attack with him either, as he comes back bigger, and acts as a Taunting Elf. Graveyard Shenanigans are always a plus as well.

All that together, and we have a card that is not even close for most lists, and a decent addition, but not much of a priority for bigger/weaker lists. He's got some interesting synergies, but he's nobody's first pick. I'll probably add this if I happen to open it, and pass it up if I don't.

This needed more power, or deathtouch to be playable. If you're already running Hypnotic Specter and you want more discard on a stick you're better off with Liliana's Specter and/or Silent Specter. I think R & D was a bit too conservative with this one, and I'm actively hoping I don't pull this card in any of my prerelease pools.

Might run this if it cost 2 to cast but even then I feel like it'd be too low impact. Bummer because with a little extra nudge this card could have been awesome.

I think this is good but not great. Close in power to the original Hypnotic Specter, but unfortunately I don't have room for that anymore either.
