So today's intro pack is devouring skies the second of 5 intro packs found in the set New Phyrexia, let's see the list so we can get this party started.
Lands
13 Island
11 Swamp
Do all these intro packs have only basic lands, if so couldn't wizards put like some cards from the entire block in this set, oh wait there wasn't that many regular old non basics for the set, sucks but it is true unfortunately, oh well that's life for ya, let's see the creature base for the deck
Creatures
2 Augury Owl
2 Blind Zealot
2 Brass Squire
1 Darkslick Drake
2 Dementia Bat
3 Hovermyr
2 Impaler Shrike
1 Kiln Walker
2 Mortis Dogs
1 Necrogen Scudder
1 Neurok Invisimancer
1 Phyrexian Ingester
1 Silver Myr
2 Spire Monitor
Ok someone at wizards R&D better tell me how the hell half of this crap gets decided on, because i am not seeing it here, we have some crap in the form of Monitor and Scudder, Kiln Walker is utterly a joke a 3/3 for 3, which does what being used as a chumper, Monitor basically says oh look at me i'll flash in and chump and croak against dudes bigger then me, what a joke that card is sorry, Ingester is the only decent card of this deck so far, with the fact it imprints and gets bigger on the dude it eats, not bad, Dementia Bat and Hovermyr are both good over the top dudes with Augury Owl for Scry really scry for a new phyrexia intro pack, weird but ok let's go with it, the invisimancer is great for the final few points of combat damage though, even without help, it's decent enough to do on it's own. The creature base for this particular intro pack is decent but i feel is lack luster due to the fact we only have maybe 3 decent creatures, the rest is utter crap oh and the random silver myr, probably thrown in to ramp, not really much help since it's a lame 1/1 onto the spells
Spells
1 Argentum Armor
2 Copper Carapace
1 Doom Blade
1 Necropouncer
2 Sickleslicer
2 Vapor Snag
2 Viridian Claw
2 Warlord's Axe
So most of this stuff is equipment except for the doom blade, gee a singleton doom blade, not that great if you ask me, the only other worthwhile card i see is Argentum Armor, this other stuff the claw, the snag, hell even the axe are all lame and feel like a total waste of space if i had the chance to design a blue black intro pack for NPH i would make it pretty damn decent not half this crap packaged together and sold in stores on a daily basis to someone who is unsuspecting and stuff, trust me folks this intro pack is a definte pass, it's not worth the money you pay for you're better off getting the singles of the good cards and skipping all the crap, the five good cards of this pack are
- Argentum Armor
- Doom Blade
- Phyrexian Ingester
- Blind Zealot
- Silver Myr [I am reluctant to say so but it's true]
Till next time this is vergil signing off.
