Return to Ravnica Spoilers Part 7: Hybrid

Welcome to part 7, where it's the return of a favorite, Hybrid mana cost cards, magic's favorite type of cards, so without further ado let's see what this set has.

#210) Azor's Elocutors - 5 mana for a hybrid, blue/white spell that is a enchantment, it allows you to put a fillibuster counter on it during your upkeep and if you control this with 5 or more counters on your next upkeep you win, whenever though a source deals damage to you though you have to remove a counter.

#211) Blistercoil Weird - So a 1/1 for red/blue that gets +1/+1 until end of turn each time you cast a instant or sorcery spell, plus you get to untap it as well.

#212) Cryptborn Horror - 1, Black/Red, Black/Red for a trample that is a 0/0 when it enters the battlefield, but it gets +1/+1 counters equal to the life lost by opponents when it enters the battlefield, so lost life gives it a boost in terms of it's P/T rating.

#213) Deathrite Shaman - For a black/green mana you get a 1/2 with three abilites, tap it to exile a target land from a graveyard, you get 1 mana of any color in your mana pool, pay black and tap it, exile a instant or sorcery, each opponent loses 2 life in that process, pay green and tap it to exile a creature and you gain 2 life, not bad for a rare.

#214) Dryad Militant - 2/1 for a mere white/green mana cost at the uncommon level, now we are talking here, this is perhaps one of the best hybrid cards printed in recent memory, well it's a return to hybrid so it's pretty good since it hoses flashback with it's ability.

#215) Frostburn Weird - A combination of red/blue, red/blue nets you a 1/4 that you can pay either red or blue to give it +1/-1 until end of turn.

#216) Golgari Longlegs - 5 mana for a 3/4 that has no static ability, not a decent card unless it had trample or something, not a good card, but a good beatstick in limited.

#217) Growing Ranks - 4 mana enchantment that costs 2, Green/White, Green/White and allows you to populate on your upkeep, which is pretty damn sweet in green/white honestly this is one of those interesting cards if i do say so.

#218) Judge's Familiar - Did someone ask for a flying Cursecatcher that has the same ability, but is limited to instants or sorceries, well it seems we got it here, i'm ecstatic for this set so far, since it only is a uncommon that costs White/Blue

#219) Nivmagus Elemental - 1 mana combination of red/blue for a 1/2 that you can exile spells off the stack to grant it 2 +1/+1 counters as well as it being a rare, this is one of those great rares in this set.

#220) Rakdos Cackler - A combination of Red/Black mana for a 1/1 with unleash which is the rakdos mechanic for the set, so it enters as a 2/2 for 1 of either color, not a bad uncommon if you ask me.

#221) Rakdos Shred-Freak - 2 drop 2/1's with haste, now we are talking, a red/black, red/black casting cost with a 2/1 body with haste, this is perhaps one of the faster ones out of the gate and both Mono Black and Mono Red can run this thing without difficulty.

#222) Slitherhead - Did someone call for another 1 drop hybrid card, well Slitherhead is here to impress for Black/Green you get a 1/1 with a scavenge cost of 0 mana, yes you heard me correct 0 mana and he is only a uncommon, expect him to be one of the better cards to get for this set.

#223) Sundering Growth - For a combination of Green/White, Green/White you get to blow up an artifact or enchantment and populate which is the Green/White selesyna's mechanic for the set, not bad for a 2 mana spell in the set to be quite honest.

#224) Vassal Soul - 1, White/Blue, White/Blue for a 2/2 with flying to close out this color is kind of nice personally, even if it is a common for the set, it's pretty damn nice for limited since it only costs a combination of either white/blue two times over, plus a colorless.

Well that's it for the hybrid color for this set, join me tommorow for Artifacts of course, till then this is vergil signing off.
