MTG Salvation

No talk about this card? Are red 3-drops too stacked nowadays? I mean, she offers 3 power over 2 bodies for 3 mana, plus some artifact synergies. Not bad.

This card also makes me kinda sad. Just hold it next to this card... *sniff*

Its a beautiful card. If I decide to push an artifact theme I might include it.

The sad thing is, I think I won't even cut Thopter Engineer for her. I would like to run both, but that means finding another cut...

I think those last two abilities are going to be pretty good. Definitely testing, expect to keep.

Pretty much my dilema with the card too. I like it, but I don't have anything to cut for it anymore. I already made painful cuts to red with the last update...

I can't really imagine running Engineer over Pia. Her last ability is cool because of the threat of activation -- even if you only have 1 or 2 artifacts available, they might not be able to afford you trading one to take out their only blocker and full scaling, in which case they'd have to hold back two, and you don't actually have to sac any artifacts that turn, which helps you race.

I don't think she's that great. The power/cost ratio is okay but not great, and both abilities are a bit underwhelming. I think she's a pretty easy pass, outside of maybe some gigantic cubes.

She will be nuts when you have some random artifact ceratures in an offensive deck.

Certainly not a gigantic threat, but I'm a sucker for little activated abilities attached to a creature on-curve with p/t. I think it'll actually be pretty good in my cube, definitely going to give it a shot.

My classic cube does not have an artifact theme, so I don't even have the couple.
Perhaps after Kaladesh, there are cubes that will have a bigger artifact subtheme.. and if yes, makes me wonder what it looks like.

(In my artifact cube - an autoinclude - which obviously I have been saying repeatedly for many cards in Kaladesh)

I don't think PaKN doesn't need any particular support to be good. One of the best army in a can. Opposition and Purphoros also love it.

Yeah, no thanks on this one. We just got Hanweir Garrison and the Nalaar parents are just better when they're together.

Two bodies is also good with any type of Anthem. She also curves nicely into Hellrider or Hero of Oxid Ridge.

I might cut Alesha, Who Smiles at Death for her. Less off-color stuff that way.

I might try her and Thopter Engineer for a bit, try to push a little more of an Artifact theme, especially if we get a few more sweet Podracers.

I see her in many cubes. Thinking of trying her as I'm considering to bolster artifact decks. Two creatures, one spell is nice and seems good with cards like Retrofitter Foundry, Tinker and Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast. Reminds me of Blade Splicer a bit. Izzet worth playing in small cubes that support artifacts?

I didn't originally like her very much, but if you can bolster har value with artifact.dec interactions and token shells and the like, she can be worth more than what she is at face value. I have her included at 540, but I'm not sure if she'd survive the cut if my cube were smaller.
