My golly gee, HOW IS THIS ONLY A 2? Its... so dang powerful. Homarid assassin isnt enough flavor, so they gave it TWO ways to seal the deal. Sure there may be better (and less honorable) uses for Crucible of Worlds, but when you use crabs to win you are epic and happy.

@Kryptnyt: Yeah, two abilities which do almost exactly the same thing and at almost exactly the same cost is pretty redundant, but hilarious nonetheless. And the best part is, it's not half-bad either, especially if you combine it with Crucible of Worlds, as you mentioned, and something like Festering Goblin.

And by the way, I believe that it is supposed to be some form of lobster.

LOBSTER ASSASSIN!

@ Tiggurix; I prefer Squee, Goblin Nabob personally.
But yea, I'm sorry, I could never resist assassinating a gigantic beast or roaring dragon with a tiny lobster. This card is awesome.

According to the flavortext and mechanic, I assume that the Viscerid Drone uses some small critter (like a saproling) as a lure to get an enemy into a valley or something, and then drains a swamp to drown the victim. But since artifact creatures don't need to breathe, they are unharmed. Unless the Drone drained a snow-swamp. Then the ice and snow will seal the deal for artifact creatures too.

All in all a great card.

Wow, a Homarid that seems useful! I'm genuinely impressed.

I want to pick one up for an EDH deck, for giggles. Should play nice in Sharuum or Thraximundar.

...Lobster Assassins.

Well I've got nothing else to say, really.

Thought it said Viscerid Dance at first. I was disappointed.
