From the gauntlet

So I'm actually ahead in production of my from the gauntlets, I'm just waiting on blargers for the last piece of the puzzle...

An Update

Hey guys, I know that From the Gauntlet is behind schedule, but I am getting headway on the project. Currently, i am waiting on one thing before I launch the project. Dont worry, you guys will enjoy what we are waiting on ;).

Garv

Show me a player who undervalues garv, and I'll show you one misinformed chaotic player! Ever since he came out all the way back in the Dawn of Perim block, he's been a force to be reckoned with. This card is a bit of nostalgia since one of the very first blog posts was talking about a nifty card combo of Garv and Orb of Foresight.

Flipping battlegear is a HUGE ability. This one creature can nullify a heptadd's crown, get rid of a Weightless Energy Vessel, let you reuse a destructazooka, or let you use any battlegear of a creature who hasn't seen combat yet. I know that I've made several decks with this creature, including the deck I played at worlds.

What do you guys think of garv?

Talisman of the Mandiblor

This is one of the best battlegears to have ever been printed in the game. You can use it to do things much more magnificent that just bringing back a fighter. Here are some of the awesome added bonuses you can get other than just some regular old mandiblor:

1. Brainwashed Tabaal, more infections.

One of the Danian's key abilities is infection. There are a million and one ways to use it. Infect ridiculous amounts of creatures and you can use Strain of Infection to get more mugic counters, get a ridiculously powered Nimmei, or you can go the Filandar route. Equip this to your Tabal, sacrifice a madiblor and then bring it back with Talisman just to sacrifice it again!

2. Compost decks, you best friend

What could be worse than two fully powered up Neekwins after you got all of those compost creatures in the discard pile? How about four?

3. The Queen!

Let's not forget every time a mandiblor is sent to the discard pile, Illexia will get a mugic counter. If you want to go the less flashy route, Talisman will also work with Wamma, Hive Ordnance.

Of course, these are only three of many ways to use this card. So, what do you guys think of it? Rate out of five like always!

What would happen?

Here's the scenario: You have your opponent down to nothing but his Maxxor, Protector of Perim, but you aren't much better off. You are down to nothing but an Chaor the Fierce and a Kopond, High Muge of the Hearth, and neither of them have any mugic counters. The active location is Prexxor Chasm, the Blight, not exactly the location you were hoping in this last battle to win the game. In a quick battle, your opponent's Maxxor defeats Chaor, but only barely since he is at 5 energy.

In a last ditch attempt to win, you place Prexxor Chasm in Maxxor's square at the end of the turn.

Who won the game?

Card Talk with Occasus

'Ello! Welcome to Card Talk. Some of my older followers will remember my old card of the week. While most of you probably know that I can't really keep up with that any more, I will hopefully get a few of these done before I go back to college.

This time I'll be talking about is Phelphor of the deep!

He is one of the more neglected M'arrillian out there, which makes me sad because his ability is one of the better abilities on a fluidmorpher.

Just think about it. Once he gets some counters, you control the entire battleboard. You choose who fights who, all you need to do move your opponent's creatures around and you can prevent your opponent from attack you, or you can attack your opponent's back row. Najarin isn't nearly as menacing now that you can fight him early on in the game.

There isn't much more to say about him. Using him, you can attack almost any of your opponent's creatures, and you can even keep your opponent's creatures a safe distance from your weak mugic casters.

If any of you remember, I also ask you guys to rate the card out of five for it's playablity. So, what would you rate it?
