The card advantage from this guy is just incredible: 9 for 1 if he attacks! That's what I like! So yeah, he dies to removal, but even if he's countered he draws 4 cards, so you've lost 1 card and gained 4 - and a good chance (barring Path) you get a free Reminisce, so you're up 4. More to the point, with the Eye of Ugin, you can fetch him with 7, and cast him for 8. Easy, simple and awesome!
I just am really wondering what the other Eldrazi are like.

Theres a VERY strong rumour, the source says he has an uncut preview foil sheet, that a card called eldrazi temple exists. Its a land that taps for 1 colourless or taps for 2 only if used on colourless eldrazi spells. If you can pull that AND eye of ugin, youre getting him much earlier. Ive bought 4 summoning traps as well as at the moment, without more eldrazi spoilers, im gonna run him in a green deck with crazy elf mana accel for turn 4 or 5 drop.
Im super pysched for this set. Been stocking up on eye of ugin but the price has got through the roof. Was a $3 card now a $15. Managed to get 2 at $4.99 a piece and i already traded for 1 gambling it would be good. I think i was right!

LMAO in open they could Tinker him out instead of Colossus! 4 permanents isn't a joke.
I've got an idea using Tolarian Acadmey and Affinity to get this fella out quick!

Can't tinker. Read the card. |

Can't tinker. Read the card. Or rather read what's NOT on the card. |

Yes, you can no more tinker him out than tinker out a land (Barring artifact lands, I suppose).

That's what surpirised me; usually, there stands, that the spell is colorless or something like that, but it would be even more overpowered than it is now if it was an artifact....

Thats what my first thought was, but having never seen a piper stay on the table for more than a phase i doubt it will ever happen. Ive invested in 4 summoning trap for that reason. |
