A well known local shops player is really excited for Skysovereign, Consul Flagship and Fleetwheel Cruiser. I think he was testing 3 Cruisers and 1 Flagship main deck with an Inventor's Fair in the board for the mirror.Quote:

Right, because they are so great without any creatures on board. So far, all the CARS seem like riffs on equipment. Only the mega broken ones see any play.Quote:

Mishra's Factory maybe?
Pretty sure they play Though-Knot Seer too... and Revoker and Golem and Ravager.
Edit:
In fact, Cruiser having trample seems pretty relevant in a deck that uses Ravager.
Whats up with Inventor's Goggles?Quote:

The mechanic has some cool flavour-potential, but can (flavorwise) also just be downright stupid when you decide to take things as literal as you can.
We are talking about a group of magical people throwing fire and mind bullets around while having the power of the show "Sliders". Taking that literally is your first mistake.Quote:

Skysovereign triggers on attack , not combat resolution. That's pretty powerful. I believe you can go to your attack step, make exemplar a 3/2, then crew it before declaring attackers, and shoot something. The 3 damage lost is translated to the ability of skyship. Smugglers copter is a good way to get otherwise weak creatures like gaddock teeg or dark confidant into the red zone while drawing into card quality. Copter triggers on attack AND defense, which is sweet.Quote:

How is metalwork colossus going to win through ensnaring bridge? Bridge locks stax out as well.
Welder? Smokestack?Quote:

Looks like Shops has gotten some tools, but Legacy didn't get much, only fringe playables (Blossoming Defense, Combustible Gearhulk, Chandra)
Anybody see anything that I might have missed? SOI had Stormchaser Mage and Prized Amalgam, while EMN had Bedlam Reveler and Thalia. I was hoping for something along those lines at the very least :(
The only thing that comes close isQuote:

And that's niche at best. It's a Goyf blocker for Affinity, and maybe something else, as it's a theoretical UU 5/6 with no drawback, and we know those creatures are potentially powerful (see also: Gurmag Angler.)
EDIT: there's also

that has applications in all formats. draw-fixing plus potential discard? At one mana, that seems highly relevant.

Yeah, new card is unlikely to do much outside of Standard.Quote:

Hmm... is there a Necrologia combo with Fateful Showdown?
