Intro Pack Review #3: New Phyrexia's Feast of Flesh

So it's that time again with NPH's 3rd out of 5 intro packs. Feast of Flesh which is the black/red intro pack with a mixture of New Phyrexia cards, Scars of Mirrodin Cards and M11 cards, so let's take a look see at this particular intro pack shall we.

Lands
11 Mountain
13 Swamp


Wizards have you gone mad, as i said in my prior articles basic lands are nice and all from current sets, but to only use those for making these intro packs, lame as all hell i must admit and i usually don't end up saying that these intro packs are lame unless something is done wrong here, time to take a look at the creatures for this particular deck.

Creatures
2 Blistergrub
2 Blisterstick Shaman
2 Caustic Hound
1 Chancellor of the Dross
2 Entomber Exarch
2 Flameborn Viron
2 Furnace Scamp
2 Phyrexian Rager
1 Prodigal Pyromancer
1 Scoria Elemental
1 Tormentor Exarch


I feel as if this creature base is actually solid this time around with the black/red intro pack as this time we not only have a rare that basically says you start with 17 life, but a few cards to bring it back and even a few decent sized bodies on these guys, a bunch of 2/2's for like 3 or 4 mana is nice and all, plus the fact you get only one core set card creature wise this time around, pretty decent unlike the last two intro packs, onto the spells

Spells
2 Artillerize
1 Despise
1 Disentomb
1 Enslave
1 Fling
2 Geth's Verdict
1 Go for the Throat
1 Ichor Explosion
1 Morbid Plunder
2 Parasitic Implant
2 Shrine of Burning Rage
1 Tower of Calamities
1 Whipflare

Now this particular set of spells seems interesting, a new pyroclasm, a go for the throat is also used for this meaning this is a money intro pack, will probably go for about 12 bucks due to go for the throat, Fling, Morbid Plunder and Shrine are all gonna be decent additions to this and if you can get your hands on a full set of each, all the more power to you, Tower in this one i feel is lackluster, sure it costs 4 to summon but it takes 8 mana to power it for each activation of the card, so in all it's slow and useless thus why it ended up being a 2 dollar rare, Ichor Explosion is the basically the cheap man's black sun's zenith and will see a fair bit of play right out of this box as a sweeper spell, all in spells wise i think out of the three i've reviewed thus far this seems like a solid build for a starting player, plenty of recursion and the fact of the matter we always seem to have a few sweepers in this deck even if it is not white, well that's all she wrote for now, stay tuned next time for this particular series when i take a look at Life for Death, the 4th new phyrexia intro pack this is vergil signing off.
