I like how this guy feels like a throwback to the Simic of the first block, with super-Graft and giving everything the Mutant subtype.

I like it, in the right deck it could be really abused and at worse, your stuff is getting an extra two counters minmum thrown on. 

I'd like to get one or two for the sake of adding them to my graft deck.

Don't mind Rorix. He really does mean what he types, but in these cases it's because he's a spike with the mindset that the only cards worth mentioning are ones that will win competitive tournaments, not casual games.

In limited though I truly think the biomancer is still a valuable gem, but sadly at the same time the mythic rarity kills it. Needless to say in casual, decks can entirely be built around it.

The thing about master biomancer is that it doesn't need to be built around. Any deck in it's colors that turns creatures sideways wants it inside of them. Things that specifically benefit from 1/1 counters just get that much more out of this guy. Especially if you drop a dork and plop him a turn early, in tur allowing yourself to give him a minor boost and/or throw out more/bigger dudes. This is one of those straight-forward, kill-me-now-or-pay kinda cards.

I said 'decks can entirely be built around', not 'decks need to be entirely built around'. But yes, I agree with your assessment.

Ok, I had my first game of Gatecrash today, which means I have been able to try this guy out for myself:


HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!

This guy was just, every bit as insane as we thought. And once you get 2 of him out, he just gets absolutely nuts! One of these guys means your 1/1 arbor elves hit the table as 3/3's, and by midgame i was pumping out 7/7 one drops!! Every single creature I played came into play with 6 counters on them, and simply overran my opponent, especially due to Fathom mage yielding me 6 cards every time i played one!

I will say this right now; THIS GUY WILL SEE CONTRUCTED! he is just too good to leave at home!

How so? Did you print proxies off the card gallery or something?

I play for fun

cast this for 4 and you probably have more mana to cast a bunch of 1 drops.

I nearly guarantee that someone could pull up numerous posts where he kvetched about a card that later saw regular, main deck tournament play.
