MTG Salvation

This looks like insane value. Counts ALL creatures that died, and once foretold you only need to hold open one B.

Rise of the Dread Marn 2B
Instant
Create X 2/2 black Zombie Berserker tokens, where X is the number of non-token creatures that died this turn.
Foretell B

I don't know about this one. My gut tells me it's too conditional, but it's a lot of value for a little mana. It's a low floor, high ceiling card.

If you're able to find the time to foretell it early, you'll be able to pretty much guarantee value. You'll at least get one zombie, and probably between two and three on average.

Or you can set up a big blowout with a board wipe (not hard to hold up 1 mana). Cast Jokulhaups with a mana floating to cast this, and you get to feel like a superstar! Or just a Pyroclasm or Pestilence triggers. It's not hard to do.

It's also big fun in an aristocrats deck. Sac five creatures, then do it again.

Lots of great upside, but I'm afraid it will end up being a Scathe Zombies I have to work for too often.

Yeah, aristocrats is the best deck for this card, but I could see it in other token decks as well, especially red ones (with cards like Goblin Bombardment, Purphoros and Outpost Siege), or in a pinch as wrath insurance in aggro.

I agree that you need to support token-heavy archetypes to make this card good enough to run, but in the right deck I think it's absolutely cube-worthy.

The card doesn't count creature tokens. Sorry to be a party pooper

lol

Good catch :--) Indeed... so that much harder to make work. I guess not a great cube card after all.

It might still be fine; the effect is powerful. But it's certainly much harder to break without interacting with tokens.

This is the first card where I am really feeling Foretell as a real bonus. You can easily get this woven in between playing normal Magic. Stuff will always die naturally when playing Magic.

This is a good card. Question is if it is cubable good though... Probably not, but I hope some people will test this one.

with cubes playing very few foretell cards and most likely one per color or none even, when black player play this foretell card, smart opponent will play around
