Quote from ISBPathfinder »Guys..... Survival of the Fittest always has always done exactly what Protean Hulk can do and it does it better because if you draw any of the combo pieces with Protean Hulk you then have to like... play them or get them in somehow. Survival combo on the other hand usually costs around 6 mana (assuming you have no pieces and any creature) and then can be executed on turn 7. If you get any of the pieces to hand with survival combo it goes off for less mana and needs no other card to execute it for you where as Protean Hulk executes the same combos but needs a sac outlet plus seven mana. You could just as easily do a Tooth and Nail combo and in fact its probably easier to do than Hulk combo. I really don't see why people are losing their *****. Guys..... its literally Survival combo and it costs essentially the same but is more corner case in executing it. Protean Hulk unban in no way equates to Gifts Ungiven. If you feel that card should be unbanned... congratulations, they are not the same card. One being unbanned puts no precedent on the other. RC - thanks, I think this was a great move on both cards. I ordered two foil copies before prices jumped
Quote from Balunu »Quote from Fedders »Here's the list I went unfeated with. 1 Implement of Ferocity 1 Fourth Bridge Prowler 1 Prey Upon 1 Unbridled Growth 2 Implement of Malice 2 Resourceful Return 2 Kaujar Seedsculptor 2 Winding Constrictor 1 Scrap Trawler 1 Daredevil Dragster 1 Foundry Screecher 1 Lawless Broker 1 Thriving Rhino 1 Fleetwheel Cruiser 1 Filigree Crawler 1 Peema Outrider 1 Night Market Aeronaut 1 Yahenni's Expertise 1 Lifecraft Cavalry Winding Constrictor and Kujar Seedsculptor did most of the work. The Implements were very good as well. Resourceful Return was just value. Fourth Bridge Brawler 2-for-1's Yahenni's Expertise was never cast. Am I mistaken or do you always post a deck that is basically every 1, 2, and 3 drop in your pool, and then say you go 4-0 with it? I'm sure I'm exaggerating but I feel confident that you've posted similar decks for previous prereleases, to the point that I thought before, "wow this guy just builds a super low curve and then goes 4-0" and here it is again. Is it really that easy to 4-0? I wonder how such decks would perform on Magic Online. Is it just that the player base at your local store is easy to beat? Or is the secret to winning just having an average casting cost of 2? EDIT: I just checked Fedders post history and clearly it wasn't him, this is his first prerelease post as far as I can tell. Something about the Bill Murray avatar tickled my memory. I have to go search to see who I am thinking of.

Quote from Weebo » Stunning Growth is nuts. It's a better, one sided Planar Birth. I'll be running that a lot. Aside to Fedders, can we at least wait until the prerelease to start speculating about bans? Maybe let a couple people play at least one game with the card?
