MTG Salvation

At first glance I wasn't really impressed with this card for cube potential, but thinking about it more now I can see some of the possibilities. Even grabbing something as cheap as a Pithing Needle or Sensei's Divining Top would be somewhat exciting. Not to mention cards like Smokestack or Winter Orb. This almost certainly doesn't make the cut in smaller cubes, but might have potential in larger cubes looking for variety and unique play situations.

I'm skeptical. Also, note that this doesn't work with Pithing Needle. It'll have Needle's text box, but since you won't have named a card with it when Do-It-Yourself Seraph entered the battlefield, it won't do anything.

I could see it in larger cubes, it definitely has potential but needing to attack to get something can be rough. I agree that its a decent option in bigger cubes, as it could be really fun and as an artifact maybe you can welder or even tinker it back. (though the latter is prob less than ideal.)

I like it a lot. It may not be as great as other blammo-angels, but it works strangely and interestingly enough that I'm curious to try it.

6 mana.
Does to murder for no value.
Dies to Flame Slash for no value.
Dies to Shatter for no value.
Doesn’t even win that consistently when it attacks.

I kind of doubt this would make the cut it you knocked 1 off the cost.

i think i'd try it in my UN module if it had vigilance. it's still a 6-drop that needs to survive a turn to do anything, but i think a lot of the stronger plays with it would require being able to tap it after attacking. hitting with it and turning it into a vedalken shackles, mana rock, disk, or memory jar would be pretty great. turning it into a birthing pod and saccing it to itself to grab a battlesphere, elesh norn or hornet queen would be pretty epic.

if you exile wurmcoil with this it would just be a 4/4 flying, ll, dt, right? wurmcoil reads "when wurmcoil engine dies..." so i would think you wouldn't get the tokens if seraph died.
