MTG Salvation

I proxied Uro after some umming and ahhing and it's definitely been performing well to date. Now to fork out for the real thing...

WOTC just announced that there's probably going to be a B&R announcement for standard, so ya might want to wait a week or so for a potential drop in price.

A weird Mulldrifter / Primeval Titan / Hogaak hybrid. The 3-cmc mode ain't bad at all, but UUGG + exile 5 cards is a steep cost. UG decks tend to focus more on permanents in my experience, thus don't fill the graveyard that well. While the body / ability is great, no evasion means it's going to have to rely a lot on winning the value game. Escaping this more than once won't be easy, and being able to escape this in the midgame isn't very reliable without niche things like Satyr Wayfinder / Winding Way.

This card can get there, but it has just one too many hoops for me to want to play it over other options. Also, not being able to do well in cheaty into play strategies is a big strike against any fattie. Something like Coiling Oracle may be lower impact, but it's cheaper overall and has much more synergies with things like blink / Natural Order / Birthing Pop / Recurring Nightmare / etc. This titan really brings no value to certain game plans besides grind over time and hope that you can escape it in a timely fashion.
