| | Fried;
Thanks so much for the info! It seems to me that the Seraph is pretty cool, and that you can bet the slaughterwheel will see some play with Baxar.
The Hazardin Grendier seems to be pretty nasty - you just don't want to kill him! EVER!
For my money though, I think the murderous widow is NASTY! 6 power for 6 life (even with loner) is huge and with a crit 1 ability and being able to ignore deathblows....she is going to be a beast!!!
Last thing though....in two boosters, did you really miss out on Fear completely?? You didn't get ONE greenie??? | | A wand of silence means never having to say you're sorry. CHAMPION OF THE ANNIS HAG!!! | |

| Let me echo: thanks!
Hey, do you remember which uncommons came in which pack? Did you get the Arsonist or Murderous Widow in the same pack as the Aviax Firebrand?
Likewise, did either the Zungar Standardbearer or the Gutsoup Golem come in the same pack as the War Toller? Lastly, which 5 cost common came in the pack with the Seraph?
No big deal if you don't remember, but if you do remember, thanks in advance for the info!

Hazardin Grenadier - Combined with Sacrifice pieces etc.... This miniature could be devastating. Park it on an opponents location....
Yep, not a single Fear Miniature. Bummer.

- Dagni Sorry Dagni, I started to think about it and now I've confused myself completely... I'm pretty sure the Arsonist came with the Gutsoap Golem but that's it.

| Thanks for the stats;
Ravencloak Visionary Landfill.
Seraph Interesting choice with Clawclan scout. Lower defense. but in some positions multi-blade advance is better than the clawclans B-skirmish.
War Toller Marginally playable.
Skittering Smeech Defense 2/12 is the most extreem yet. I would guess this will see play, just be carefull to not go near boneblade serpents.
Slaughterwheel; Deathrip is much stronger than the copy ability of an ego cannibal. Since you get better control of which abilities are available to copy. Combos strongly with Butcher to get the ability you want directly into your graveyard. e.g. Spawn Butcher, dump a ragedrake in the graveyard & Slaughterwheel has a choice of Crit-3 or Trample. Without ever needing to pay the spawn-13 cost of the Ragedrake.
Doctor Agony Landfill.
Hazardin Grenadier Stats are feeble, but the special ability is awesome, particularly with a DHC. Might combo with something that destroys your own creatures.
Murderous Widow Loner makes this landfill. In sealed games were loner is less crippling, it might be OK. | | Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything. | |

B-skirmish - I don't completely agree. You are not rolling a lot blades when Seraph is in play and it lacks staying power. But, a few games with it will show.
War Toller Marginally playable. - With Valor moving a lot of pieces around during combat this could be quite useful. 5 dice already to start with. Good staying power. And a possible +4 damage. +4 can turn a combat around.
Hazardin Grenadier Stats are feeble, but the special ability is
awesome, particularly with a DHC. Might combo with something that
destroys your own creatures. - It's a Common piece. These will see alot of play. The low stats might actually be a bonus, especially when defense and life are almost the same. Appease becomes a lot more attractive and remember that location destruction is something extra cool!
Murderous Widow Loner makes this landfill. In sealed games were loner is less crippling, it might be OK. - Disagree. With this piece you can posssibly control the early game. 6 dice is a lot.
Cheers, f

| | At first, I thought that the Hazazrdin Grenadier only works if you get destroyed, not if you sacrifice your own creature. Imagine my pleasant surprise when I went back and re-read the text! I think that appease will work well with this one! | | A wand of silence means never having to say you're sorry. CHAMPION OF THE ANNIS HAG!!! | |

| Is there anyway you can post the exact stats (plus flavor text, if applicable) for two of our "semi-spoiled" pieces:
Octorilla Arsonist
Thanks! | | *This post was recorded before a live studio audience* | |

Power-6 is indeed a lot early in the game, but so is a cost of spawn-6. For the same cost I could spawn a Butcher 4/7/10, Which I distinctly prefer to 6/3/4. Without Loner it would be an interesting choice between the 2 creatures. But as is I'll take Butcher every time.

Arsonist (Madness 16/60) Uncommon 6M 2 5/11 (blade): Unmake - Banish target local or adjacent location that an opponent controls.
"Arson is his vocation. Self-immolation is just for fun."
***
Octorilla (Madness 25/60) Rare 11MM 5 4/10 (spawn 3): Brainblast 5 - Make a separate 5-power attack against each nonlocal enemy in this column.
"Those who survive the brain blast are never quite the same."

| | SO all the peculation about the 8-armed baboon and the arsonist is wrong.
*NOW* I think the octrilla is amazing. If it is set up in a dark heart cottage, this thing is going to be HUGE. Madness just got competative. | | A wand of silence means never having to say you're sorry. CHAMPION OF THE ANNIS HAG!!! | |

| | Betweent he Arsonist, the skittering Smeech and the Octorilla, I see Maddness geting some help. Makes me think someone might even play the Gateway to Pyschosis. Really liking the Grenadier, especially for a common. Murderous Widow will be a good sealed pull. | | | |

| why would yall think the screech is good????
5M is WAY to much for a lowly 3-powered guy with only 2 flippin def....seriously- this thing gets disrupted faster than you can...well, say anything! ill stick to my c. sprite as my 5 drop M, thank you.
but arsonist/octrilla, on the other hand... | | | |

| | Well consider that he will most likely disrupt and never get killed. Who will want to drop 12 damage on a 5 drop with 3 power. He probably won't get killed by a Brighthammer in the spawn phase. Maddness pieces are looking like they are a possible answer to Brighthammer/Kitsune teams. Pieces that will disrupt easily and are hard to kill, but keep swarming back With Brighthammer having to target, its only a matter of time before he can't disrupt enough pieces to achieve critical power to do something. It plays for the late game, but with the Faceless King and Lost, and combined with the Gateway its possible it could make a showing. Drop a Darkheart in with them and you gain a little more. Maddness isn't that far from being feasable. | | | |

| Lets not jump the gun on making madness the new Valor here. I agree that we've seen some decent pieces in madness so far. And screech is an awesome piece for those looking for a long-stander to stick around for DHC. I see him going in every single Octorilla/DHC band out there.
But its going to take more than a 1-trick pony in this environment to make things work I think. I'd expect to see a lot more madness in use just with these previews, but its a little early to start talking it up as top-tier. Especially when we're talking about faceless kings and gateway. That's just silliness. | | | |

I agree with Painreliever. 12 Life for only spawn-5 makes the Smeech
worth playing. The Smeech is a "classic" Madness-DHC creature, with enough life to survive against Brighthammer or Ocotorilla. Kit-Hammer removed Madness-DHC from the metagame, precissly because none of the cheap madness creatures could survive Charge-6.
Posted By fried on 01/18/2007 1:11 AM Some new stats, telll me which you need: Valor Thrice-Crowned Androgyne Valkyrie Moonrider
Fear Blood-Ash Archer Backalley Skuntch Ropestrung Scarecrow
Passion Crazed Maenad Caged Grawlth
Madness Canis Horribilis Probability Walker Swordstrider Buzzkill Clown Drakesnail
The only one of those previewed to date is the Spine Bug; So all the rest would be usefull, thanks... | | Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything. | |
