Ruby Rifter gets angry when you attack their general and will pay you back two fold!!

Considering how easy it is to proc this, might as well consider it a 6 mana 6/6 that draws a card. Is the draw worth it losing 4 stats compared to the whatâs vanilla for the cost? Probably, I canât wait to see it tried out. Letâs not forget how it also gets damn fine value if it lives. It actually looks like a straight upgrade from Scientist, not sure how to fell about that though. But regardless, draw cards are always exciting, especially ones as cool looking as this one.

That is a really good card, I must admit. CPâs theme this month is definitely General damage

Depends on the list. Like, if you play Magnetize Lyonar, or Songhai, and are fishing for lethal/chaining the kill from a few cards leading into more, then The Scientist is miles ahead. Itâs hard to rely on taking multiple instances of damage in a turn, and ending healthy. Especially considering how volatile the board-state often is by the time 6 mana roll around.
The Scientist allows you to be safe, whereas this doesnât.
I do think itâs more universal, and I do like it, though.

WOW #2: This card seems legit playable.

i dont know, i mean, it looks somehow op. why? because it gets double value for something that can be proc in the same turn it enters and even multiple times in some scenarios.
Monthly cards: Hey! why not give magmar some strong neutral cards

This card is very strong, basically 6 mana 6/6 that draws you a card and gets out of control if not dealt with.
The only big downside is that it is awkward when you are behind because you most likely want to get away rather than attacking with your general. On the bright side your opponent will most likely have to take down the ruby rifter before attacking you which is something.(unless you are very low and he just has lethal)
However I find the design uninspired IMO.

Thatâs what I see 4 monthly neutral Magmar cards,I have start looking at what cards to drop from my current list.Warbeast finally has competition again
Makantor doesnt have competition, its more likely to have both jajaja
Great synergy with blistering scorn and elucidator. Effect will be great in Magmar, could be a counter to Faieâs bbs. Great late game draw, but Iâm not sure itâs great by itself as a draw mechanic. Overall superb card ^^
Agree with that statement 100%
I have to say that the new cards seem quite powerful and this is no exception. This can come out as a 6/6 and attack next turn for 8(or 10 if your opponent attacks your general). It can also come out on turn 2 for second player and turn 3 for first player is using Magmar or Abyssian. Reclaiming the card advantage immediately.
Why, oh why is this card not named âSworn Fomentorâ?

Yeah another âSwornâ card would be great.
Assuming you can immediately proc this, itâs a 6 mana 6/6 that cantrips. After that, there are three possible scenarios:
-
Itâs immediately removed. Which is fine, as it usually requires either trading, a transform spell or two damage spells to get rid of a 6/6.
-
You are being milled. Assuming this card draws a card the turn it is played and you automatically drawing at the end of your turn, the enemy can easily mill you if you had more than 3 cards after playing Rifter and they are in a position to attack your general with multiple units. Songhai is especially scary with 4 Winds Magi/Bloodrage Mask, cycling through their deck while milling yours and then transforming Rifter into Panddo.
-
You get consistent value over the following turns. Aka the âwin moreâ scenario.
In typical gameplay, we can discard the third possibility. So in order to get the best value out of Rifter, you need to be in a position where you are either low cards or the enemy is low on board and does not have a lot of out of hand damage.

the perfect card for people who never ever play artifacts, use up their entire hand, and hate shadow dancer and 4 winds magi
Not good when you are losing.
You need to trade with your general which could get you killed more easily.
No immediate effect on board.
The scientist looks better, providing safe draw. If not removed threatens to win by card advantage over time.
Ruby rifter is risky card draw. Less card draw threat since general is lowering health to proc effect.
Combos pretty well with Blood Taurus and Chakram though.
I can see this card getting some play in Kara decks, the draw is pretty useful and with 2 BBS buffs you can summon a 8/8 and still draw a card so I guess it has some potential.
Itâs also one of the coolest looking cards in the game so we canât let those animations go to waste⌠Right?
And with 3 BBS the card will be a 9/9, yeah this is what Kara BBS does incredible isnât it?
