M12 Update Part 9: New Cards = Good times to be had

Hello all and welcome back to the next edition of the emporium update, with me as per usual, today we saw 4 new cards in total, with the titan cycle being confirmed to return, let's get started on the new cards first with Primordial Hydra a new green mythic rare creature

Seriously it's that bonkers, combined with a Doubling Season effect as soon as this thing reaches 10 +1/+1 counters on it boom it has trample, costs X mana and 2 green mana, is a mythic rare so i guess we know what fills the slot this year in terms of mythics for green, the new garruk, this and primeval titan, the effect triggers at the beginning of your upkeep and is a nasty effect to boot, expect this to see maybe limited or some ramp play in standard due to it's casting cost, next a star city games preview in the form of a red sorcery known as Scrambleverse

Yikes a unplayable 8 mana sorcery in any stand point besides of course EDH, so it has for each nonland permanent, choose a player at random, then each player gains control of each permanent for which he/she was chosen. Untap those permanents, this is a rare for a 8 mana sorcery, seriously are they trying to make the core set suck on purpose these days, i don't much like this card personally and expect to see this as a jank rare soon enough, enough bout that let's take a look at a new black creature in the form of Vengeful Pharaoh

5 drop for a deathtouch/reanimator dude that blows up things in the graveyard as a 5/4, sweet so let's see whenever combat damage is dealt to you or a walker, if it is in the graveyard, destroy target attacking creature, put this card back on top of your library, yeah with Innistrad coming up this is going to be a nasty, nasty card for sure in a reanimation deck, but enough about this let's take a look at the final new preview of the day in the form of a shapeshifter known as Skinshifter

Are you freaking kidding me 2 mana for a shapeshifter that can become anything it wants, and starts as a 1/1, can become a 4/4 rhino with trample, a 2/2 bird with flying or a 0/8 plant are you freaking kidding me, aggresive/defensive dudes are nasty stupidly fun in any format, this is no exception to the rule, goddamn if i was to pick up four of these on release day i'd know exactly what to do with em, put em in a mono green build that rocks face that's for sure, i've never been more excited for a green card in my life then this guy personally i'd love to see him in a decent price range on release day so i can easily get my hands on this dude, well that's it for now, check it out next time as i'm sure M12 is going to get a lot more interesting, since mythic slots are filling up fast in this set, so this is vergil signing off.
