MEH. It's so rare to have 2 non-land cards of the same name just chillin in your hand

That's why you cast Jarad's Orders and search for 2xSquee, Goblin Nabob.

Honestly, he's so bad, Im surprised he isnt Rakdos somehow. Just kidding kind-of. Not on the awful part.

Eeeeeehhhh not sure how to feel about this card. I don't think there would be as many situations in which you would want to trigger that ability, unless you have two really bad cards you can make no use of in your hand.

You are talking about a blue, red, black and green combo here.....

Only really good with Lingering Souls. But, really good with Lingering Souls.

Huh, this card is an oddity....
Obviously combos with Relentless Rats, Veilborn Ghoul in Standard to a lesser extent. Also cute with Squadron Hawk.

You can use Veilborn Ghoul with this to draw 4 extra cards per turn, that combination also works well with Jarad's Orders since you can either search for 2 Veilborn Ghouls or 1 Sphinx + Veilborn Ghoul if you have a ghoul allready.

Just BUG, since you don't need to actually cast Squee.

I like the fact that if you're in game 1 and you're playing against a deck where some of your cards are dead, you can use the multiples you may draw to restock your hand.

Veilborn Ghoul gets a new friend.

The warped part of me wants to know if he rings Belltower Sphinx's bell.
Nutso with two Squee, Goblin Nabobs, though.

This is one of the whackiest combo cards I've ever seen... it's a six mana flying duder, lol wut.

Clearly meant to be Relentless Rats tech

Quote from Small Child

You can't even trigger him in EDH.

I really don't know what to think. I want to be impressed but I can't really see this working.

EDIT: ****. Wow. I misread it. That is good. I want like 10 for EDH.

LIES!!!!! DISCARD 2 RELENTLESS RATS!!!!!!

at least he's better sphinx than Isperia

Quote from Obsidian Dice

I'm confused. I'm reading this as "Discard two non-land cards with the same name: Draw four cards" which is indeed impossible to activate in EDH.

Are other people reading it differently?

Meta-Nathed: I got there after the OP had been edited, but before anyone responded to the changes.

NO ITS NOT!!! RELENTLESS RATS!!!!!!!

RELENTLESS RATS
[CARD]LIVING DEATH
[/CARD]
NUFF SAID!!!

Why are people mentioning EDH? You cannot play it, How are you going to have the same nonland card in your hand?

For real constructed, it's a breakable engine, but it needs work (Squee, Squadron Hawk, etc), probably too much to be good.

A mistranslation by the OP had it say two nonland cards of a different name.

Quote from Pfisiar

Not of the same name. This means it works better in Commander/EDH than it would in standard. What is wrong with you people?

* Cyan hands Pfisiar a paper towel.


Now you can wipe some of that egg off of your face.

The card went from completely ridiculous when it was mis-worded to...completely unplayable now that it is worded correctly. Now it's just a decent limited card.

it seems like it would be fine in standard. You just have to play your hand with it in mind and construct your deck with more 4-ofs than you normally would. I'm not sure building the deck around it with veilborn ghoul and that new creature tutor is going to do much good, since even if you spend all that mana and draw 20 cards, you still don't have a win condition, but I'm happy to play it as my finisher in a UW control shell.

Has a cute synergy with index since you can see what you need to hold to get the effect. Index still sucks though.

This a pretty interesting card: a somewhat challenging activation cost which yields four cards. Thematically, the two cards required to activate the ability have to be "dead ringers" for each other (but not necessarily Dead Ringers)XD.

Red has a lot of filtering to make this more reliable. Red also has the new niv-mizzet, which might be better though.

Outside of EDH, this seems rather broken with dredge. Any two dredge cards of the same name and you've drawn/milled your entire deck for free. Might that be constructed playable somewhere?

golgari Brownscale and Grave-shell scarab aprove of this here card

.... it works , doesn't it?
