DGM 4/18 Spoilers

[Thrillho]

Big fan of the Goblin, especially in these hyper-aggressive decks.

[Kaitscralt]

It should be noted that the Reap Intellect is a mock-up (the card does do that, but the wording is god awful there.)

I like both of these cards for different reasons.

[Kaitscralt]

but those reasons are my own

[redthirst]

Goblin is like a worse (but also cheaper) Hammer.

Repeatable combat tricks that also have a secondary ability as a threat are pretty good. I don't know if it'll see play right now, but I could see it taking Stonewright's place as a mana sink post rotation.

[Tharkun]

In Gruul Bloodrush decks I would play the Goblin. That little extra butt means you can swing in with a x/1 with an Auger of Bolas or other 1/x on the field and not worry about losing the exchange. A LM can swing into a Rhox Faithmender for instance. It is obviously slower than Stonewright but it is kind of tricky and fun.

[Kazekirimaru]

Anyone else read that as "Rape Intellect" at first glance? No? Just me?

Anyway, not sure how I feel about it. You're limited to what's in the opponent's hand at the time, and the cost is enormous. Will it see play, I wonder?

CREATURE IS BEST CREATURE BECAUSE HAMMER IS BEST CARD EVER

[Thrillho]

That Goblin is a beast with double strike and Aurelia (and those in tandem), and as a "bad" creature-based Hammer. I think the versatility of it, as with other Bloodrush cards, is what really tips its scales, even if it's basically a 3/1 Bloodghast-analog with Bloodrush. The fact that it can grow Experiment One is also a pretty decent selling point for it as a constructed card, and its ability to generate card advantage over time may make it suitable in the aggro-jund deck.

The Memory card seems reasonable if not slow. 6-7 mana is not uncommon for control decks, even if this means tapping out on your turn... you memoricide your opponent for 2-3 with one card. Given how grindy and midrange a lot of Standard decks are, and given that a Revelation in response to this just gives the caster more to work with, I'm pretty fond of it in the abstract if not in practice.

Hmm, I like the spoilers today. That little goblin is pretty interesting.

BUG, Mana Drain their spell, then cast Reap Intellect for a bunch?

[Kaitscralt]

A boy can dream

[TubeHunter]

Reap all the intellect! Unless it is late game, then they will probably only have lands..

[Thrillho]

BUG, Mana Drain their spell, then cast Reap Intellect for a bunch?

is it your next upkeep or just the next upkeep? i want to get those EOT revelations.

[Kaitscralt]

I forget. I think it adds any color during your next main phase.

[Thrillho]

*main phase, sorry
