MTG Salvation

Not that I'm usually in the market for 6 mana dragons without ETB effects, but I thought it was worth giving this a bit of discussion. Steel Hellkite is probably the closest point of comparison, and while missing out on the combat damage trigger is a bummer, this can grow to obscene proportions quickly even without real support and likely be ready to activate within 1-2 turns. Maybe that's too speculative, but the raw power feels at least worthy of comment.

I like this card, and I'd be satisfied with putting it in my cube, but I don't think I'll bother ordering a copy, as it's not all that exciting for cube play. It's got all the value, but at six, you want an effective finisher, not a value monster. Steel Hellkite, and Thopter Assembly both seem a little better. Still, if someone gave me a copy, I'd run it. It's a damn cool card.

AntiPox said it all. This card seems terrible. Steel Hellkite can threaten to blow up their whole board and/or end the game if you pump it, making it a must-remove threat. This card doesn't do anything on its own.

I don't see this as being a good cube card at all.

But at least now we know where the Horn of Ramos (and other sundry parts he lost) comes from!

But if you play with this, you only need to cast a few spells before you can use it to kill your opponent with Door to Nothingness!

I think people are underestimating how fast this thing gets HUGE. But still, this is by no means a cube card by typical standards. Comparing it to Wurmcoil Engine is sad. This card is always fair, which I like, but doesn't go over well with most cubers at 6 cost.
