Innistrad Spoilers: Preview Week #2 Day 2

Hello everyone and welcome back to another edition of the innistrad spoilers, this is day 2 of week 2, let's begin with the information for this one, we got 5 cards to talk about today, 4 dailymtg previews and a exclusive preview via gatheringmagic or as they were once known Mananation so let's begin with their preview shall we?


Grimgrin, Corpse-Born is the latest legendary to slip outta innistrad it's a 5/5 that enters the battlefield tapped, doesn't untap, but you sacrifice a creature and it untaps plus a added bonus of it getting a +1/+1 counter, whenever it attacks it destroys target creature defending player controls, put a +1/+1 counter on it again, it's a mythic rare that costs a mere 3 and 1 blue as well as 1 black so a dual colored cost, interesting so it's total is 5 CMC, not bad wizards for a second gold card in this set, mythic no 8 so far by my count, onto the next card which is also another mythic.


Skaab Ruinator costs a mere 1 and 2 blue mana to play, but there's a additional cost of exiling 3 creature cards from the graveyard, it flies obviously due to the wings in the picture, you can cast it from the graveyard, it's a 5/6 beater on turn 3 and it's a mythic rare, kinda power level here is ridicilous personally, a 5/6 for 3, wizards are you trying to impress us, it's working. Anyways it's about time for another preview for today, let's take a look at Mythic no 3


Essence of the Wild is it's name and it's a 6/6 beater that costs a mere 3 of anything plus 3 green mana, it's a mythic rare that is a avatar, it has the ability creatures you control enter the battlefield as a copy of Essence of the Wild, seriously tokens enter the battlefield as a 6/6 other creatures enter as a 6/6 this is nuts good, very aggro there as well, expect to see this in a lot of green based EDH decks in the future, onto a uncommon now in the form of a red uncommon


Into the Maw of Hell is the latest innovation of land destruction, when it blows up a land for a mere 6 mana it deals 13 damage to target creature, since 13 is a huge number in this set this is perfect for a 2 for 1 card in innistrad, it's a uncommon and a sorcery, very interesting very interesting indeed, onto the final preview of the day.


Morkrut Banshee is the final preview of the day, it has morbid, it's a 4/4 that when it enters the battlefield if a creature died this turn, target creature gets -4/-4 until end of turn, kinda seems like a Grasp of Darkness on a stick personally it's cool as a uncommon that costs a mere 3 and 2 black mana, is a spirit so the tribe gets a bit stronger there with a 4/4 but it doesn't fly why wizards spirits naturally fly, anyways enough complaining about wizards decisions that's it for this article, tommorow will be day 3 of week 2, till then folks stay tuned.
