Scoot on over, Vulshok Berserker, there's a new hasty Limited four-drop in town.

The premier red creature common in scars draft. Synergizes well with Panic Spellbomb, since you only need three artifacts when it enters the battlefield.

It's just Hill Giant without 'craft. But with 'craft it's even better than Ball Lightning. Oh yeah, let's rock!

Considering how easy it is to achieve metalcraft in the right deck, this has some real potential.

Correct me if im wrong, but it seems the way this card is worded that if the metalcraft kicks in, it will be a 6/6 definitely, not until the end of turn...

@U-caster
All of the card text on Blade-Tribe Berserkers is a single triggered ability that goes off ONLY when it enters the battlefield. When it does, it checks for metalcraft. If you have metalcraft, it gets +3/+3 and haste until end of turn.

Like this guy a lot. Swinging for a hasty 6 to the face on turn 4 is a great feeling. Either takes a huge chunk of life or steamrollers a defender. A definite grab for anyone drafting metalcraft.

I had though the +3/+3 was permanent, but it's pretty clear it's a end-of-turn triggered effect.

I liked Ezuri's Brigade better when I thought the effects on both were permanent. Now it disappoints me again how much of a difference rarity makes (a little can be attributed to Red vs Green, but still...). Still, pretty good in limited.

Vs Ball Lightning, it sticks around afterwards and is better vs first strike, but is more expensive and lacks trample.

This guy is nuts in limited. Of course, Oxidda Scrapmelter is prolly better in Scars limited, but at the very worst, Hill Giant is not terrible at all in a set full of 1/1's and 2/1's.

Wonder if we'll see a red artifact deck in constructed.

The lack of a comma kills this card.

The art makes me cry.

They look so awkward.
