Exclusive Rise of the Eldrazi Preview Card: Skittering Invasion

This card makes perfect sense, given what we know about Rise of the Eldrazi so far. I mean, if we are expected to cast 15 mana spells, we will need some sort of acceleration! Without further ado, here is Skittering Invasion!

Seven mana is usually the high end of the curve, but with all sorts of enormous Eldrazi monsters running around, this “accelerant” will help jump you from seven or eight mana all the way to thirteen. Plus, you can chump with some of the tokens, so if you just need to hit ten, a few of the spawn are expendable. Skittering Invasion is not the sort of card that is normally playable, but any format where it is sounds good to me, and I suspect it will be solid in Limited. That is going to be quite a change of pace from Zendikar, and I have high hopes!
