You make a white/black deck for this and don't put Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite  , Ascendant Evincar  , or Crovax, Ascendant Hero  in it?

Like any good Johnny card deserving of a From the Lab preview, it feels like this is just waiting for somebody to break it in half, much more so than the others he's previewed because of its competitive casting cost.

With a bit of color filtering, Grinning Ignus  could be quite a fun partner to Heartless Summoning  . RR: Add 2R to your mana pool.

But the best is, as always, oid()" class="nodec">Corpse Cur. Great freaking card. With two Summonings on the pitch, you can cast one, return one in your graveyard, and repeat ad infinitum. oid()" class="nodec">Hand of the Praetors turns your infinite heartlessness into cruel toxic victory.
With 2 Summonings the Hand of the Praetors would be dead, and if it was somehow alive it would keep your Cur from dying.

... So Grave Titan turn 4? Bloodlord on turn 3? Yeah, I think they made a mistake with this one... time will tell, of course, but this screams "See you at the Tourney Tables".
People who thought this set was going to be about slow tempo are fooling themselves.

AND if he somehow kept the Hand of the Praetor alive, then the Corpse Curs are 3/3 and won't die to two heartless summons.
I noticed it didn't work aswell. Glad someone mentioned it.

Considering everyone is packing Dismembers, it might not be as good to have your titans be only 5/5, even on turn 4.

I caught that too. You'd need an Acendant Evincar (or cards with the same effect) to both keep the Hand of the Praetors alive and negate the +1/+1 it'd be giving Corpse Cur.
