MTG Salvation

Wow, this could easily be a mythic. Attack trigger only. Still can be removed and does not pass the Vindicate test. The card advantage is crazy, high potential. Wish it has haste, still might test it.

6 mana creature, no immediate impact or guaranteed value. I'll pass.

Nevermind, pretty easy pass. Easy to see why it was a Rare.

I've been wanting to cut Inferno Titan for being boring and a bit oppressive. I think this is a very good replacement. It's splashy and cool, but it doesn't have the inevitable and irrepressible value of the titans, which everyone else loves, but I find to be lazy, good-for-no-reason design.

Haste or ETB trigger would make this way, way better.

I think this guy is super boring. He's a vanilla 6/6 that has to attack to maybe get value. The art makes it look super badass though.

That's fair. He doesn't have a ton of synergy, and even if I add him, it may not stick. What it does have is a memorable ability. The nonsense that could come out of it is the sort of thing cube stories are made of. Still, he is just a big dude who rewards you for attacking. Nothing amazing.

i wish it had the same triggers as the titans where whenever it enters the battlefield or attacks you can reveal the top card of just your library and cast without paying its cost.

this art is awesome though. and it will make memorable stories. i might test it for some fun, but my cube is slower and more creature focussed.

I thought this had haste and first, and was very excited. Failing the vindicate test by 3 mana I think this is a hard pass.

Unfortunately all 6-drops in cube will be compared to the respective titan in their colors, and most will fall short in that comparison, this guy included. That said, it fits nicely into Wildfire decks as well as Sneak Attack decks. Some sort of deck with Sensei's Top, Sylvan Library, other deck manipulation, along with Sneak Attack, Through the Breach, this card, and Eldrazi Titans could be fun. Its also randomly sweet against opposing Sneak Attack and Reanimator decks, as well.

it is an amazing creature for sneak attack and feldon of the third path. might be too fun not to try out.
