MTG Salvation

I didn't see a thread for this guy and I thought that he at least looks interesting for cube. Big lists could use another black 4 drop even after we got Kalitas in OGW.
Elusive Tormentor plays well with graveyard strategies and is very hard to remove. Could he be the best option after Skinrender, Nekrataal, Kalitas and Braids?

I don't think so. Saw this in the spoilers and did not seem like a cube card. Takes a lot of work to keep alive, and the incentive is a vanilla 4/4. Pretty easy pass.

Its pretty much a vanilla 4/4 for 4. I mean, I guess I can discard cards and spend mana to protect my vanilla 4/4 for 4 but that's hardly exciting. Being able to maybe sneak damage in is cute but not at the cost of 4 mana and a card.

I love the art on the backside, and i can see a very dedicated voltron archetype wanting this, but it would need to be like the perfect cube to want this.

I like Abyssal Persecutor / Sewer Nemesis much more.

This.

Cool card and sweet flavor, but not cubable except in a really powered down cube.

I don't think this is worth putting into cubes.

Card is just crap, not even sure if its playable in standard.

A 4/4 straight up hexproof indestructible with no evasion would be good (and in most cubes), but not one of the best cube cards ever, and this is way, way, way far from that.

Too expensive, not worth it.

This card either needed a powerful ability on the front side (like evasion at the very least ...probably coupled with something else), OR they needed to remove the 1 from the activation cost AND the transform-back cost needed to be cheaper (like 1B at the most). But it costs 4 for a 4/4, and then 4 total mana (and a card!) to keep that 4/4 going.

It has evasion... if you are willing to pay 4 and discard a card each turn.

Right. NBD.
