I can tell you right now, Army of the Damned is going right in my Zombie deck I'm planning on building. Granted, gonna take a long time to get to, but if successfully cast, that's game.
Plus in multiplayer, it just becomes sick cause you're able to swing multiple times. This plus Endless Ranks of the Undead would literally just be fun, fun times. "How many zombie tokens do you get this turn?"
"Oh I'd say about 8."
Best part, even if they boardwipe, you can get it all right back with just two more mana. Hello awesome!!!
I think some people don't understand that the Mirrans are the bad guys. Arcbound Ravager is Mirran. Phyrexia are the good guys coming in to conquer an evil, evil world.
Love the zombie card, amazingly flavorful. Maybe if MBC becomes a player this could be a finisher. Casual/EDH absolutely constructed highly doubtful.
Just what this plane needed.... a dragon. They could have at least made it legendary, or something extremely scary so that nobody would mess with it. Have to agree, it's 1 mana too costly, would possibly have found a home at 2RRRR. Just another casual/EDH bomb.
Both are fun edh cards but i don't see either getting played on standard. Seeing as I don't play B or R in edh......... meh.

From Magiccards.info: 5/1/2007: Contraption is a new artifact type. There are currently no artifacts with this type. And there's no current game meaning of "assemble."
I really like this dragon I wish it costed one less but in theory it can destroy any Titan if it hits and since it passes the Dismember test that is likely depending on how things turn out in the meta of course.
The Zombie thing is cool although it seems like its just for casual/EDH which I don't mind. we don't want everything to be JTMS, who knows I could be wrong and this could end up in a U/B deck as a finisher its much more of a one hit kill than Titans are.
Also to anyone complaining about a Dragon in this set. Its based in a european gothic style its not like there are any old stories or legends of dragons that come from gothic europe are there?
Emmara is like the worst parts of Legends and Homelands got pregnant, aborted the fetus, tossed it in the trashcan, set it on fire and wrapped the corpse in a Dragon's Maze pack wrapper.

The problem with it passing the titan test is that most decks are dropping titans t3-t4 whereas the earliest RDWs is going to drop this is 5 unless they're playing some weird geosurge deck.

Quote from Beefhouse3D »
I like to protect frightened things perhaps. I assembled them in the fortress of beefitude for safety.
The token producer will be good in control mirrors. I am going to put it in the sideboard of my as of yet unbuilt U/B control deck and bring it in against other slow decks.....Will be saucy indeed. The fact that it has flashback makes it playable.
Appropriate use of Mythic Rare, fun, splashy, cards that are awesome for more casual players and formats that don't need to come up often in Limited or be chased by tournament players. I can dig it.
We have the vampire Mythic, the Human mythic (Mikaeus), the Werewolf mythic has been pushed over and now we have the Zombie mythic. I wonder what the Geist mythic is?

Army of the Damned is hilarious. Pure and simple.

That zombie card alone makes me want to build blue black zombie edh. Here is hoping that the stitcher is a card.
jeez, and i thought sorin's vengeance packed a mean punch...
I laughed.

0.0 oh my...Challenge Accepted! Oh my god I love this set...Now I got to figure out how to do a UBR zombie deck...
And I promise you, I will be the one to do it.
The problem with it passing the titan test is that most decks are dropping titans t3-t4 whereas the earliest RDWs is going to drop this is 5 unless they're playing some weird geosurge deck.
Zombies play nice with Chandra the Firebrand and Reverberate as well... lots of jank possibilities coming.
Now playing:
Standard-- UB Brains
Legacy-- UB Dredges
Commander-- U Sakashima
Well said, what more can I say?

Are 13 or 26 Zombies really not enough for you to win?

blue is getting splashed in with zombies this set. Counter spells, anybody?
