Ill have plenty more to say about Zendikar Rising once it comes out, but for now, I want to thank Wizards for allowing me to premiere such a great card and mechanic to the world
Pretty neat, honestly, even if the result is kind of a boring four-armed dragon, I can appreciate how they tried to tie Fiend Skull Dragon's design to its component parts
The upgrade wasn't 100% free, however
Its even stronger than Yawgmoths Bargain (which is certainly a consideration as an auto-keep) because it has the built-in ability to give you back all the life youve lost
It has flash, so your opponents arent going to expect the effect, and drawing a card with each creature that hits keeps the cards flowing
The main aim is to basically outlast your opponent by having more removal than them, then using their own cards against them or playing Sheoldred, the Apocalypse and drawing your way to victory
