MTG Salvation

I like the fact that it provides another sac outlet to the cube, while being pretty strong on its own. Really inteteresting. Seems decent in midrange decks and great in aggro decks.

Probably good enough if you support a full sacrifice package. But at face-value, I think it's lacking the evasion necessary to compete in the black 3cc creature section now.

Deleted my thread, sorry I missed this!

Im testing it for my aristrocrat package and looking forward to it.
Free Sac outlets are always better than is intuitively obvious, and indestructible is a great keyword. Works extremly well with maindeck damnation.

I don't think i'd test in traditional beat down oriented black agro sections... but could be wrong. With enough removal, this guy can both get in damage and get out of control in power in creature matchups.

I could imagine some sweet brews even in normal cubes where I like this guy (likely too rare)

Voice of resurgance, hallowed spirit keeper, flesh carver, yaheeni, kalitas, damnation.

While this card is versatile and survives wraths, I think it is not good enough. Haste is such a weak ability on a 2/2 body. Best case scenario you play this with another removal spell in hand, so that makes it more of a midrange card.

I would rather have Drana at this CMC.

Meh, 3 mana 2/2 haste with occasional indestructibility and that can occasionally grow to maybe a 4/4? Probably not good enough. Weirdly, this is probably at its best in a deck that uses sweepers to kill all the opposing creatures and leave just this guy to grow him, but those decks don't really want a 2/2 for 3 mana that needs other creatures around to block well. Think this is a pass.

Here’s another card that I’m looking at for Aristocrats... Wondering how this card has played out for people.

I was originally excited to test Yahenni, but it was quite underwhelming. The problem was it was easy to ignore the body. I don’t play Nantuko Husk, but I believe that is a better card to support the aristocrat deck because of what that deck is trying to accomplish.

If it got a counter when one of MY creatures died, we'd be talking. As is, I'd rather run one of the Husk variants instead.

Good points, I think it was wishful thinking on my part...
