Blazing Shoal is creature dependent. That makes it intrinsically weaker. Yeah, it'll get some big hits here and there, but there's answers to it (like the blue shoal).
Sure there are answers to it. There is an answer to everything. But it is still really good.
Me: I attack with this
You: I'll take it I guess.
Me: Shoal for 7ish :rocket:BOOM!

Neko-Te reads to me: Block and your dude doesn't untap, don't block lose an extra life or I might just send a ninja to your face. The unsummon ninja is really cool and strong.
That's a good point actually; I'd completely dismissed the equipment because, well, it just seemed bad. It has some nice synergy with the Ninjutsu mechanic though. Shame it's rare though, as an uncommon it could have a very interesting effect on Limited.
It isn't just that Ranma, just imagine you equip it to a Frostwielder
Ps: More things can be done, just think
Yeah I was thinking about that just a little while ago. I even had a question. If I equip a Frostling with this and then sacrifice it to shoot something does the tap ability trigger. I think it does, but I wasn't sure.
My block mono red deck is getting many great additions in bok. This shoal will just help more, and remember you can still pay x in the late game to get damage through.
That Shoal is briljant. No more problems when having FtK against a creatureless deck. Myojin of infinate Rage - If you can play it, cool, if not, 10 to the dome. Nice.
Neko-Te is no Sword of Fire and Ice, but is rather cool nevertheless. Knockout punch to creatures!
Walking Orb - That is so annoying, but works very well with Windborn Muse (also a spirit) and Ghostly Prison. Good addition to the WW decks (but affinity will be so uneffected by it...)
Arkham, the 1920's. Investigators battle horrors from beyond time and space, risking life and sanity while conspiracies of cultists and malign servitors seek gateways for their outer gods to return...

Are we sure that the current wording for Neko-Te is 100% correct? The way Neko-Te reads right now, it's just broken. Equipping Kumano with this thing equals a hard to kill critter that can permenantly tap an opponent's critter for just 1R. Also, using Kumano to ping a play with this thing equipped equates to "1R: Kumano deals 1 damage to target player. That player loses 1 life." Plus, the other stun mechanic in the set, given to green and usually (exclusively?) on snakes, requires combat damage.
That aside, Blazing Shoal is just sick. Throw that into any black/red reanimation deck, and you have yourself a winner. =) This one would be busted if it weren't for the requirement to pitch a red card rather than any card, but that's fine with me - it's still very, very cool.
If hefner was a rich, gay, playboy and had hot steamy sex with hot guys would you choose him? Of course not, mainly because im a straight male and find that stuff gross.

If i am not wrong, i think it is remove from game instead of discarding...

I agree. If Neko-Te doesn't say 'combat damage' then it's broken as hell. Consider putting it on Krark-Clan Shaman or Earthshaker.
Note the synergy between not only Neko-Te and ninjutsu, but between those two and Kusari-Gama as well. I smell a ninja equipment deck being built for us by WoTC.

Man, BoK is looking more and more fun! Me is so excited! I so wanna build the R/W deck someone suggested above. And that visual spoiler is just brilliant!
What we're doing here is akin to taking the text of Moby Dick, locating specific words therein, rearranging them to create a passage from Fight Club, and concluding from this evidence that Tyler Durden is based on Ahab.

Yes, it's removed from the game, I'm just referring to the synergy. Once you've got one big critter down, you really don't care about any other ones sitting in your hand. So, which would you rather do - ditch another fat critter card to the yard as insurance, or remove it from the game and swing for an extra 6-10 damage to end the game a little faster?
sweet.
Neko-te- Interseting. Enhanced stun ability for all! 2 cents says that there is going to be something snake related in the picture.
hokori- wheee! winter orb with legs and energy objects. WW will love this.
mistblade shinobi- cool. very cool. go ninjas!

Wow, Tooth just flat out SCOOPS to Hokori. Too bad Affinity just goes "OK, untap one land, equip Plating to *insert flyer here*, attack for *insert large amount here*." Oh well.
well, i concede. on the other board, R_E had a post about some tidbits, one was about a 'new white creature whos shares an ability with an artifact, and an echantment' well, i posted 'ITS CALTROPS, OOOOOMMMMMGGGGGGG!!!!1111111&&&&777777ANDAHALFOF2!!1'and well, others said it was winter orb/rising waters.well, i concede, we'll never see caltrops on a creature. maybe a white echantment since its kind of flavorful, but not a creature. oh well, good job!

You're not the only one. My friend has and still does play his Winter Orb deck. It truly is horror. Must destroy it.... Winter Orb Decks :rocket:
Turn 1: Sandstone Needle
Turn 2: Mountain, Seething Song, Sneak Attack, activate to play Darksteel Colossus or Dragon Tyrant and use the red shoal removing Dragon Tyrant. 16/6, flying, trample, doublestrike... ouch.

and as stated the mana-cost is the only "free" part, if you splice you have to pay for those :-p
Neko-Te seems much better w/ the new wording, and automatic addition into a couple things i'm working on
Hokori, Dust Drinker- :-( i personally don't like this kind of stuff, but it is strong... maybe a little too much mana for WW though....
Mistblade Shinobi- neat little trick, not much but nice for a common.

Sorry, buddy - the card removed from the game to pay for Blazing Shoals has to be a red card. Draco's just a big, unhappy artifact.

That is quite powerful... It might make the tourney scene quite quick...
