I didn't find this card to be too disgusting at prerelease. Frankly, once dropped, almost every subsequent turn is spent using this guy's abilities whilst the opponent looks for an answer. Overrated in my opinion

Good, but not 25$ good.
Linvala laughs in his face.

DECK POSSIBILTY:
Black/red
Use all the 1 or two mana cost creatures that black and red offer to set up an early string of trouble for your opponent and to save up for cannon fodder. Espescially stuff like Goblin Arsonist that hurt your opponent when you sacrfice them. As you gain more lands, you can play stuff like Carnage Altar to start gathering creatures in your graveyard and to be able to get the masticore in your hand. Keep up your assault by playing things like Flesh Allergy that put more creatures in your graveyard and aslo can do dammage to your opponent while doing so. The good thing about flesh allergy is, is that the more creature syou sacrificed, the more dammage your opponent takes. Making it easier to finish them off with the masticore. Also have stuff that give you Eldrazi Spawn tokens so you can get easy mana. once you have around 7 mana, if you want to postpone you win wo try and make it harder for your... (see all)

What if someone has a life gain deck.... then this guy is pretty much useless while you run out of cards then the opponent gets on top of you. Not that great I can see about a hundred ways around this card for 2 mana or less

Chinkee, he still can't kill Linvala, as his ability is still activated, but in general he's an amazing creature. One of my matches went to turns with my opponent at 8, turn 3 i discarded a creature and pinged him to 4, then discarded another creature on turn 5, and did the same. Needless to say, I won that one. He has won me quite a few games since put him in.

I agree with the pack I got this in limited and this single card won me games jjust by trashing creatures into my graveyard at each upkeep. Totally deserves the mythic rarity slot.

Who needs cards when you have this sweet Masticore to get all the work done.

This card...seems awesome. But it's just not quite competitive. Only good use I've seen for it was in RDW, and there are other things to run instead of it anyway, which are actually better.
HOWEVER, I feel that there is a lot of potential for it, so maybe when besieged comes out, it might get better. Or hell, maybe even the meta will change enough before then for this card to be worth it. Until then...great in casual, not so great in competitive.
