Black Gearhulk revealed: channelfireball.com/articles/kaladesh-preview-noxious-gearhulk 5/4 menace with murder

And some life gain

And the murder is optional

Right.

This is almost standard playable

Well, it might be standard playable

Did you think the other gearhulks are standard playable?

I haven't seen any of them

I can't figure out what format LSV is talking about when he says that it will see plenty of play

but I think he means standard, and I think he is overrating the card

Possibly standard and edh

My roommate was describing Torrential Gearhulk to me yesterday, and he accidentally said "Instant or Sorcery". My jaw dropped and then I said ".... I CAN CAST TIME WARP WITH FLASH?!"

Boy was I disappointed when I actually read the card

lol

The reasoning I've seen for not including Sorceries is Saheeli's Artistry

Infinite chain otherwise?

It doesn't chain infinitely

Saheeli's Artistry would go to exile after you cast it with Gearhulk

Oh, right. But two more Gearhulks would be terrifying (with accompanying ETB)

Definitely

If you play Modern and someone at your local store decides to play this guy in a deck alongside Snapcaster, remember Ash Zealot as a sideboard option.

Any thoughts on the other two? My inner Johnny likes the green on a lot.

er, make that inner Timmy

I don't know about the Gearhulks, but I'm kinda tempted to try Aetherflux Reservoir in my Modern UR Storm deck.

@JonTheMon A common idea I've seen is that the red one is a Threaten type effect

Oh, hadn't heard that yet. I've heard some speculation that it's a burn spell + fatty.

I mean, they're all [effect] + fatty. And having it burn on ETB might be too similar to Skysovereign, Consul Flagship

Probably have haste as well.

But yeah, burn everything might be too close to the white one, and the flagship does have burn already
