Card Discussion: Hellcarver Demon

What do you guys think about him? Sort of like a super Summoning Trap if he hits, also would be an easy way to pump out some Eldrazi creatures. Even in Vampires he could be alright as a back up to Nocturnus maybe as a 1 or 2 of.

First off, the art is wicked awesome! Greg Staples knocks yet another one out of the park.

Now, to the actual card and it's potential applications:

Best Case Scenario:
You reveal Emrakul. Then on your "free" turn, you swing for 21 flying?

Worst Case Scenario:
You sacrifice your 6+ lands and all your other resources, simply to reveal several lands (which you can't play) and some removal spells and such.


Overall, I don't think he's going to see serious play, but with an ability like that......it's hard to say. We also don't know the full RoE spoiler, which may have some additional cards that compliment our newest demon.
