Dude, do copied spells count too? If so, I highly underestimated the use of this beast. My deck is land drop, discard, and mainly kill with swarm due to 4 Yore-Tillers and 3 Dune-Broods, while Ink-Treaders buff them all and make them unblockables with shroud.

the niphilims were creatures from the Ravnica books. they were worshiped by the Gruul (the BR guild), until they realised they could kill them, i honestly dont know why the strongest one is a 3/3 though, in the books it took there guild master and an entire raiding party to kill it. so i would just have made them like 8/8 brutes, as they never really had any magic like abilities.

The biggest problem with the Nephilim was that they were afraid of undercosting them and ended up with the exact opposite problem. The color allegiance wasn't too well thought out either - this one feels Green more than anything else, to be honest. But that art...

Tied with Spike Breeder for most vomit-inducing card yet.

Part 5/5

For the three colors most awesome at Library Stuffs: {B}{U}{G} AND the three colors most awesome at Life Point Stuffs {B}{W}{G}, it's not so much that this Nephilim's abilities are 'out of color' (they're actually more in line than Yore-Tiller's, since it may AT first not seem very Black, but being such an Aggressive Attacker feels pretty Vorosh-y- it wouldn't be nearly this un-peaceful if it were straight Bant!....or at least it would have either or both of Wings and Sword.)



But, still, this Nephilim is not playing to it's best Strengths as much as it could. I like that it gets itself to care about and change it's Power a lot, (it's got a bit of Simic going on with those +1/+1 counters), but I still think it should somehow mention cards, or life.

I suggested on Yore-Tiller Nephilim that the ability should be tweaked from a Graveyard based one to an Exile based one, and that DEFINITELY reads much cleaner to me as actually being pretty darn good flavo... (see all)
