Testing with the new Garruk has shown him to be as strong or stronger than Elspeth, though I’m not sure how being two colors will effect his price. Some sort of Rock based control deck will spawn up around him.

In reply to Justin Smith.

Hey, I didn’t have any strong opinions on those two, or more specifically, I didn’t think there was a lot of question on those. Chief Engineer is a cool card with some long-term Commander applications, but the set can only hold so much goodness right now. I’m of the impression it will be bulk in everything but the long-term, since Grand Architect nearly is.

I’m also not at al impressed by Doom Engine, and think it will be dropping hard. It seems worse than the Souls in most cases, and certainly worse than the other expensive cards played right now. If it does anything, it will be because this UR Artifacts theme is pushed hard in the fall, but Doom Engine will be falling before then.

In reply to JasonAlt. Or an article I was paid to write into a podcast episode.

Seems like kind of a lazy set review this time around. No mention of Chief Engineer or Scuttling Doom Engine?

I love how seamlessly you turned a podcast episode into an article you were paid to write.
