This thing will end many a limited game of magic.

Yeah. Great finisher for black heavy limited decks.

I think this card is gonna see constructed play. By itself it's a 3 mana haste and one time intimidate. Potentially it can be reanimated using immortal servitude and smack the face of everything.

Mogis's Marauder...isn't a minotaur, but a human? I'm starting to wonder just who this Mogis is. And whether the minotaurs might once have been human themselves, before Mogis took a "liking" to them.

Even if he just flat out had haste and intimidate he would be solid in limited. The fact that he can push all your creatures through is very game ending.

Anything that can grant intimidate to artifact creatures is great.

Small creature that is relevant late game. Makes for a good card.

This is very aggro. 2/2 haste for three + everyone is unblockable. I think this will make a new deck.

I am assuming Mogis will be the red and black God. Because of this and Fanatic of Mogis.

If it was possible to draft a mono-black deck this would be a Limited house. But since everyone else is thinking that as well, you usually end up with one other creature on the board that is affected by this thus making it a fair bit less impressive. I feel like, while there are moments in Limited where you'll get to alpha strike your opponent, this card may be more likely to shine in Standard where the deck is built around it (and Gray Merchant of Asphodel).

I still think it's a little odd that the red card is called Fanatic of Mogis while this one is called Mogis's Marauder. It seems there ought to be some synchronicity in their names.

Very underrated card, I think it will be a sleeper hit. Mono-colored decks may very well be a thing in Theros standard, and black easily looks the strongest.

This is awesome; the fact that it's not itself that gets haste/intimidate, but whatever you want. You can give large colorless dudes intimidate so they can't be blocked except by artifacts for example. You can give a red creature intimidate or some such.

The point is that you don't have to give it to black; so you can (in multicolor) choose something that won't get blocked.

On top of that, you can do it to your entire battlefield, which is great for swarms and game ending strikes.

In case nobody has noticed, so long as you have a Master of Cruelties out and your opponent has no red/black/artifact creatures, this is an instant win; the master puts them at one life, and the marauder finishes them off.

@Innistrader Doesn't work. "Master of Cruelties can only attack alone" read the card. If it were a Kaalia of the Vast attacking that would be different.

A year ago with gravecrawler, diregraf ghoul, and rakdos cackler this would be insane. Now it's just meh with tormented hero and rakdos cackler.

@SkyknightXi: I think he is a human who devoted his life to the minotaur god. Just look at him, he's even dressed as a minotaur!

This will combo with the new "not-quite-Bob" - call him Bert or Rob or whatever - by giving intimidate... Certainly a synergy I'd like to see in action.

At worst it comes into the battlefield as a turn three 2/2 intimidate with haste, so probably 2 damage this turn, assuming your opponent isn't playing black. At best well...giant stampede of Minotaurs!

I'm pretty sure I killed about a thousand of this dude while playing thru Fallout 3/New Vegas... Right down to the pose this guy looks like a Raider!

I know this seems like a mono color card, but I think it will do very well in two color decks as well. The problem with monocolor and this card is that blocking is somewhat easier. If you however play two colors there is a higher chance your opponent doesn't play at least one of the colors you play, in which case you can give intimidate to the other color.
