With a nod to The Ferrett once more...

Now that prerelease is over, and the cards are all spoiled (and no-one has anywhere to hide anymore), IYHO, what are the best cards in Conflux for multiplayer?

I've heard nods to Blood Tyrant already.
I just know that I'm going to be seeing Rotting Rats by the playset in my group in the very near future, though. What an awesome MP card. And common!

Fire away!

Meglonoth has some serious potential. I'm also partial to martial coup and banefire .

Volcanic Fallout for superior board wiping.

this x 4!

I disagree Feigned. Infectious Horror is very weak at 2/2 for four mana. Even if he gets a swing off, he's very apt to die as he does. In a sense, he's too little too late. Blood Tyrant has the same problem. While he may SEEM strong, just think about what else could be done with the mana ( Prince of Thrulls , Plague Wind ). He is going to hit the table, and for one full round anyone who can kill him, will. There are plenty of other devastating effects for his mana cost. In a sense, he is also too little too late. I'm not convinced that either of them are the top MP cards.

The Giltspire Avenger on the other hand, is amazing. Not only is a rattlesnake that still allows other people to be attacked at will, but Exalted promotes attacking with one, strong creature while leaving defense. This attack + defend + rattlesnake strategy all mixed in one card makes it a high multiplayer pick. Almost all of this applies to Meglonoth as well.

Malfegor I'm on the fence on. All too often I'd rather just Decree of Pain , because he does nothing to THEIR hand. Since he will be the ONLY threat, he will be removed if at all possible.

I think the child is quite good, simply because it's a 6/6 trample that begs to be killed.

Martial Coup is probably very good as well, I'll put it in some white/x control decks for sure.

Malfegor needs a specific deck I think, something that isn't bothered too much by discarding cards. This automatically leads to something like madness or easy recursion from the gy. I have a Worm Harvest deck (see the topic in this forum) that probably qualifies for the last one. I imagine it will be quite satisfying to return Malfegor into play and punish everyone with indestructible heavy hitters. Sure, it won't help against other token decks but I have Damnation and Pernicious Deed as well ^^. You can never have too much mass destruction in multiplayer, imho.

It also seems that turbo decks have another toy in Font of Mythos .
