Kiora seems like she'd be right at home in the Simic combine!

The famous chimera that had a hand in bringing back Slivers.

Um, Kiora, I'm not convinced this is going to be THAT useful against the Eldrazi...

This is what the third Sharknado will look like.

I really can't believe that's the actual flavor text. I thought it was just a joke on the mockup.

Triggers enchantmentfall, makes great use of cantrip auras, and makes Herald of Torment look like a chump.

5/5, What a superstar.

Love it! Who doesn't want a flying shark-fish thing? Also, you know, lets you constantly trigger constellation and heroic effects!

Love everything about this card: The size for the cost, check. The combat evasion, check. The synergistic ability, check. The art, check. The flavor text, CHECK CHECK CHECK CHECK!

I've just noticed that the zodiac is represented in the form of enchantment creatures spread through Theros block, and this guy is totally pisces. Ares is Nyx-Fleece Ram, Taurus is Purphoros's Emissary, Gemini is represented by Mogis, God of Slaughter and Iroas, God of Victory. Cancer is Thassa's Emissary, and Leo is Nylea's Emissary. Virgo could be a couple of things, but I think Spirit of the Labyrinth makes the most sense. Eidolon of Rhetoric could be Libra, while Ephara, God of the Polis is clearly Aquarius. Courser of Kruphix is totally sagittarius, while Pharika, God of Affliction represents Ophiuchus. Next two is where it gets a little iffy, but Nyx Weaver is as close as I could find for scorpius, and capricorn could be Perplexing Chimera.


I could also be making something out of nothing, so take this comment with a grain of salt

This is what happens when chimeras splice plasmids. Pure Awesome!

@brunsbr103: Scorpio isn't just Sedge Scorpion?

@brunsbr103: Yeah, I think you might be seeing patterns where there are none. If they really made a cycle based on the zodiac, they would probably include more obvious references.

I have a few of these - good to be used with Dictate of Kruphix?

I'd go with Sarcomancy.

Would be a great combo to get in Commander.
