I feel echoes of Torrential Gearhulk in this. A fairly decent finisher in creatureless control builds even if the body is random, most of the time it should be huge.
Not exactly a strong endgame if all Bolas is doing here is drawing two cards, but you do get an uncounterable body (or a decent buff if you already have a Zombie Army token) at instant speed on top of those two cards, so this isn’t bad at all.

I feel like this spell should at least draw 3 cards since the floor is a 3/3. At 5 mana this spell would've been fine but I don't know maybe I'm asking too much.
So his endgame was to draw 2 cards? Considering his Apex of Power, Bolas seems to be a crappy villain in his recent days...
I lol and agree with you. It would have been a bit "BETTER" if this one would have been like Spell Swindle or Draining Whelk where you Amass X and you counter the "BIG" Spell. This one feels UNDERWHELMING
Weird take on Mulldrifter. Will be an all star in limited with Amass strategies. I don't see getting much constructed use out of it, unfortunately. Given the frailty of a single token, looking at this as "draw 2 for 6" in a worst case scenario isn't really playable.
I'll give it a shot in Varina, along with all of the other solid Amass cards and zombie tools we're getting in WAR, with proper support the Amass cards could be a nightmare when played alongside each other.
I was kind of hoping this was going to be another variant of something like Cruel Ultimatum... but it actually feels... lackluster. I suppose it's essentially a 2/2(+) with flash that draws you 2 cards. Not bad, just not what I would have imagined for this kind of art and name.
Keep in mind that this is for the control deck, and you'll want to be holding onto cards for as long as possible. This could easily make a 4/4 or larger in many cases.

Against aggro, if you’re casting this you’ve already won. Against midrange and control this is 6 mana draw 2 and take a removal spell out of your opponents hand. Pretty mediocre.

Story spotlights seem to be randomly slapped on cards this time. Neither from Finale cycle are, too.
