wow, did somebody in here just call beast within a bad card? unbelievable.
the card is absolutely phenomal, incredibly versatile. gets rid of relevant threats at instant speed and gives an mostly irrevelant 3/3 dork to your opponent. not mentioning you can use it on your own land to get a beast at instant speed, there will be situations where you will use it just like that. can serve as a ld spell when opponent is mana screwed too.
its one of the best cards in the set.

just like dismember, another absurd card. 1 mana spot removal that gets rid of almost every creature and usable in any colour. 4 life is not nothing, but at least for every deck with black this is fantastic card.

a card nobody has been talking about here is porcelain legionnaire. 2 mana for a 3/1 first striker is nothing to scoff at. spellskite is a great card, lots of options. makes pump spells, mother of runes, elspeth second,  and tezzeret second ability absolutely worthless, plus protects your guys. really good card. this seems like a good set people.

i agree. spawning shell is the most exciting card so far. exchanging a fleshbag marauder for a skinrender and then a skinrender for a shriekmaw and then a shriekmaw for a grave titan seems okay.

preators grip is pretty iffy. most likely its gonna get ya a divining top or a wurmcoil or whatnot. at least its gonna be a ramp spell or a rain of tears (wasteland). doubt thats good enough. overall, its pretty iffy. especially in black where you already got some good tutors.

the parasite is interesting. but more so in standard than in highlander. it has some potential and will see play though.
