MTG Salvation

Having gone to bat for beefy red fliers like Thunderbreak Regent and Ashcloud Phoenix before, I’m pleased to present what I believe to be the best of the lot. It’s very durable and requires no investment to bring back, and isn’t even slowed down by sorcery speed removal. It’s even got real synergy with sacrifice effects if the coast is clear.

I think this deserves a slot in 540 cubes and up.

Edit: Mods, please fix my title. Thanks

I'm not blown away. It's neat, but it's in one of the tightest slot and it doesn't have haste or kill a creature or is an engine or etc. I don't know what I would cut for this, I think I'd rather the Regent over this and I played that for like 3 seconds.

Also not enthused by it, but mostly coming in to nitpick that a phoenix is a bird made of fire and an owl is a bird.

I think red's 4cc suite is far too powerful for this, IMHO.

Strong card, but stacked slot, and too slow for heavy red agro.

I'd strongly consider if it costed 3R, as I like it more in midrange decks that are ok with playing a slower game, or in my Br aristocrats deck.
In other cubes , could likely work with Earthquake/Moat/Wrath shenanagins and be quite strong there.

With a carrion feeder and a blood artist, each turn can grow the carrion feeder, drain twice and have a 4/3 flier beating down.

I like it more than thunderbreak regent and ashcloud pheonix for sure.

Currently I'm playing Hellrider, Pia and Kiran Nalaar, FTK and Hazoret in my 450. While I think this creature is pretty good, the section is simply too competitive to warrant its inclusion; Red 4's stacked, yo.

Sacrifice synergies are the main reason I'd want this. I don't dislike it, but I also don't love it. It's another that I'll add only if I open, which isn't that likely for a mythic from a set that I probably won't open that much of. I like that it's an owl rather than some generic bird of prey. It makes it more recognizable.

I like this bird. I think I will try it out over one of the most aggressive 4-drops (Hero of Oxid Ridge, Hellrider, Hazoret the Fervent) or alternatively Avalanche Riders.

I think y'all are crazy. This bird is fantastic and is going to do great work in cubes that want red decks to be anything other than be mono-colored haste creatures and burn.

It's quite a durable creature.
Design wise, wish they used the transform mechanic for this one.
If this would die, transform it instead. --> At the beginning of your upkeep, transform this.

I think it wont make it in mine. I's put in Pia/Kiran (sac/token) or Hazoret (durability) first before this.

Too low impact when it first hits play. Needed haste on the first version too.
