If he's here, who's running hell?

Here is Part 1 . Lets start this off with a couple of creatures that didn't make the cut and I'll finish by going through the Planeswalkers. Good 7 Drops, but...   These are all really powerful cards, but at 7 mana it was kind of hard to justify adding them next to the powerful 1 and 2 drops that we have. They do deserve a mention though. The Whale has a very white flavor but with Islandwalk instead of Flying. The Sphinx is downright nasty in a flying deck. It can easily win a game of Limited, though not a Commander.

Armored Cancrix 5 mana should get you a hell of a lot more than a 2/5 that gets wrecked by the common Marauding Maulhorn . I'm not a fan of that art either. 2. Encroaching Wastes Rem
