I wonder whether I should use this over Caller of the Claw or not...

Ameisenmeister: This doesn't have 'nontoken' clause, so I think 1 more mana is worth being able to cast it turn after turn without diminishing returns, if opponent wipes repeatedly.

Makes Flesh-Eater Imp an even better finisher.

Green aggro FINALLY got their answer to wrath spells. Token decks will love this little gem. The color green has needed this card for YEARS now, just like black needed Go For The Throat for a long time. Just sack a ton of Eldrazi tokens with casting this bad boy, and you will have an army like nobody's business!

Put this in a deck that uses a lot of Eldrazi spawns. Get out your Hand of Emrakul by saccing the tokens and pull this out for a lot of 3/3 beasts.

I love the fact that this set contains the card named Dismember as well.
If only they had named one Flesh Heap...

You need to be holding back 4 mana to use it, but I could still see this being completely awesome at the using phyrexian rebirth after a white sun zenith or a conqueror's pledge. I don't think it will see as much play as everyone believes though. Chances of you holding back 4 mana just at the moment your opponent wraths is not so high, and if you are doing the wrathing it costs you 8 - 10 mana. One thing of interest to note is that it works when a creature goes into your graveyard from anywhere including discard, and mill. Potentially, you could mill yourself, let it recycle with an eldrazi, and while it's on the stack use this card to put 20 or so beasties into play.

@minus prime, lol, yeah they should all have cleavers to make the image complete. :)

You thought ashnod's alter was good with mitotic slime? how about we nearly double the manaoutput or just put out 7 3/3s while generating 10 free mana. Sweet.

Also note that it's instant speed. Against board sweepers keep this baby around to "counter" wraths, xanthrid demons, havoc demons, carnifex demons, extinctions, etc etc etc. Myriad ways to lose your token army. Turn em into 3/3's because your enemy's a jerk! :D

Compare to Caller of the Claw. Then use both. You can stick Caller of the Claw on Mimic Vat, and it's easier to recur in general. But for overall effectiveness:cost, this is definitely better in my mind.

So {G}/{B} deck, lots of eldrazi spawns. Do Flesh Allergy for {B}{B} and this for {G}. Laugh?

I love this is an answer to Black Sun's Zenith or Day of Judgement. They really seem to be encouraging green in this set.

Does anyone else feel like it should have had Gravestorm?

Anyone still play jund? Just devour a couple of tokens, attack with a big fatty, they multi block to kill him, then grin as you gently throw down this. Next turn, attack with the tokens you pooped out (they no longer have many blockers because of the previous turn), then when the beasts have served the purpose...eat them and continue the cycle!

Put this in a good green eldrazi token deck. You sacrafice eldrazi spawns for a good big boy , then tap 4 to put down 3/3s for each eldrazi spawn you sacced

This card is going to be BRUTAL.. Just wait n' see. I for 1 am anxious to sacrifice a load of myr to make a big strong myr and then replace all my 1/1's with 3/3's. Makes the drawback seem fair...

Very nice card, in most cases better then caller of the claw in an elf or green deck. It doesn't have the initial creature like caller of the claw but it gives you creatures for tokens dying and the beasts are 3/3s compared to the 2/2 bears.

Use with Asmira, Holy Avenger in an eldrazi spawn deck to benefit multiple ways from the creatures going to the graveyard.

Usual you won't be able to cast this spell in response to a wrath of god, since your opponent will know that you're able to cast a response spell, if you have 4 mana unused. Therefore, it's the typocal "abuse me" card... and there are enough possibilities.

In a Beast deck with Ravenous Baloth, you can sacrifice all your Beasts to gain a ton of life, then cast this to get a bunch of new Beasts! For casual only, of course.

Oh noes, they won't cast wrath of god since you have 4 mana open. Then it has done its job, protecting you from board wipes

Grimgrin, Corpse-Born with Rooftop Storm and Gravecrawler combo. Would this work if you sacrificed and recast Gravecrawler a million times, or does Gravecrawler only count as one creature, giving you only one beast?

T1 Mountain
T2 Forest, Spawning Breath or Nest Invader or Brood Birthing.
T3 Brood Birthing, Forest, pop 3 eldrazi spawn (or all 4, if you'd like an extra beast for your trouble), Fresh Meat.

A pretty decent Scars Standard combo.

I won against a Token Humans Deck using this card

I was running a green black zombie tokens deck, I had Parallel lives out with around 6 zombie tokens and a few other zombies.
I blocked his Geist-honored Monk with all my Zombies and tokens (looking to kill it with extra damage just to be sure), then he used Vault of the Archangel's Deathtouch ability. He lost the next turn.

I like the idea of going from only 4 spawn on your field and 3Green in your pool to a Hand of Emrakul and 4 3/3s. I bet your opponent wouldn't be feeling quite as confident.

Step 1 drop a bunch of Mana Dorks.
Step 2 wait for your opponent to try to steal a 3 for 1.
Anti Wrath always gets a 5/5 in my book.

Two ways to see this card :

Your opponent will regret to have played Wrath of God.

You will love to play Wrath of God.

And in both case, more there is player, more it's insane XD

So many Dota references in the place I'd actually kind of expect them considering Dota heroes are named after Magic stuff. Okay.

Theres just about every reason I shouldn't but I can't help but think those beasts are kina cute, what with them hissing at each other.
