Electrodominance and Knollspine Dragon I posted in the rumor area. Not sure there really is a deck there, but dumping mana into Electro, getting a big dragon and 7 cards out of it sounds intriguing. Probably more casual.
I could see it in some type of Soulflayer or Heartless Summoning deck. Maybe Black devotion. Not sure what current competitive decks could utilize it however.
Secrets of the Mausoleum also looks like a card valuable for some type of Aristocrats strategy. Being able to easily tutor for a Blood Artist or Viscera Seer is valuable for that deck. Never really played Aristocrats before, but given the Golgari graveyard creature focus, I wouldn't be surprised if this deck gets a boost from this set.
March of the Multitudes I might have slightly misjudged. In a token deck, I think there are better and more reliable options than this card. However there might be something here with regards to an Aristocrats deck. Some synergy with Return to the Ranks, though both trying to accomplish a similar goal through different methods.
Oh those 3, only secure is close to this. Scalability is extremely important to cards like this, and flurry sucked cause it only worked when someone was attacking with a bunch of creatures.
I don't think this card is amazing, but it's not as bad as flurry or as limited as scatter.
Problem with cards like this is it requires a good board state to make it a good card. Scalability is nice, but you also need recoverability. If on turn 4 you get board wiped, turn 5 you try and drop this for 5 mana and get two tokens, you lose. Secure at that point would have given you twice as many tokens, or Scatter one more.
This is a good bulk mythic to play with in a table-top game. I will grab some of these. It just is an awkward card because it requires a strong board state to make it a good card. I think this card could have cost 1 less easily, and still not leave it being overpowered at all.
If I already have a strong board state, I wouldn't want to convoke to play this. I would rather play Flurry of Wings, double my army, and still attack on the same turn. Plus Flurry gives me defensive options if my opponent swings at me.
This card only really outshines wastes if you have a bunch of creatures out. Most of the time its basically going to be a Scatter the Seeds. Overall you could argue Flurry of Wings is just as strong, considering its offensive and defensive potential.
I see this being another Aurelia's Fury, but with a much lower initial price.
Isolate needed to say at least 'nonland, 1 or less' for it to be viable, at least as a sideboard. Not hitting tokens or pesky artifacts is an issue in this format.
Stitcher's Supplier has potential. Being a zombie has some relevance. It also works well as another Satyr Wayfinder in aristocrat decks.
Supreme Phantom, obviously insertion into modern spirit tribal.
Karn has sat in my hand dead every so often, but for every time he's a dead card there's another where he wins the game almost by himself.
Interesting to note cases where Karn you thought was going to be a bad matchup, and he ended up winning you the game. I am testing Karn in the Hardened Scales build as well.
This is my top of the head creation. Wants to produce lots of creature, or lots of mana, or lots of draw. Singleton commune with lava which gives us X card draw and instant speed use of our mana if we face board wipes or simply have mana to dump.
*** Edit. Been testing the deck casually on MTGO (fun cause its very cheap). Bushwacker likely to go to at least 2. I had issues with a finisher if I ran out of steam and couldn't storm enough. Commune with Lava I moved to two. Gives me a card draw/mana dump when I am not hitting Fecundity. Not sure if Faithless Looting would be better, but the instant speed of Commune came into play in one game. Commune is a bootleg Sphinx's Revelation in this deck.
Yes, solid card.

The issue is when this card shines, your likely already winning the game.
