WB praetors with heartless summoning imo. 3 mana for white praetor, with 2 summonings out, negating the effect, same for black praetor. It'll be great for cheating expensive utility fatties into play, that's my take.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.

The coolest thing I've seen thus far is the Glissa + Perilous Myr. Thats pretty freaking good value. If there were better 3-4 drop artifacts I'd be inclined to agree with it as well for terms of adding black to Tempered Steel, by just dropping the 0-1-2s. Its crazy talk but worth testing I suppose. 3 mana red praetor is kinda hot too.

please read your cards. this does not work. I am not going to tell you why because its better if you see it yourself.

on a side note, this problem relates to one of the reasons I really dont like the "dies" terminology.

Tokens hit the graveyard all the same...unless I am missing something else.

Edit: Don't bring up Mimic Vat's wording, that is never an issue in this particular case.

Yup, If the Perilous Myr token dies it triggers, however if it is exiled as a part of Mimic Vats effect, the ability does not trigger.

MV's effect is not part of the equation here as long as HS is active.

The use of mimic vat here feels forced. Yea it works, but there are better things than perilous myr to spend that 3 mana on in a constructed format.

PM is 1/1, HS gives everything -1/-1, Mimic Vat makes token, HS SBEs the copy into the GY which triggers. MV never exiles the token.

Oh, sorry, didn't see you were talking about something more than just Mimic Vat + Perilous Myr.

Yeah, anyhow, If the token dies it triggers, and it will die as a statebased effect immediately after being put into play by the Vat.

Yes, it's a specific situation for X/1s.

Also, I don't disagree with the inefficiency of 3 mana Shocks on a stick, but the deck needs cover. Assuming you want to hit this on the curve on the play, you are investing at least 5 cards of your first 3 turns, you need something else to make removal not a blow out.

I don't think it's important to be looking at the -1/-1 side of the card when the most powerful aspect is obviously the ramp. If the card is playable, it will be in a deck with a lot of expensive creatures and control elements. However, such a deck would be crippled without HS, so the important question is whether or not there will be other ramp options for black in the new set (Chalice is rotating). If yes, then an 8-card ramp package of HS + ??? and a bunch of efficient black fatties could be promising. The Mimic Vat stuff just seems awkward, why not run Sorin instead?

The -1/-1 is just a small downside. 5 Mana white praetor negates the effect and gives you an additional p/t. That's pretty good value considering it'll most likely be coming down in 2 or 3 turns after you cast the HS. Grave Titan on turn 4 sounds pretty hot to me too. Even if he's make 1/1's. Splash green play Primeval? Or hell things like Primoridal Hydra or whatever it is. That's 2 free counters. Seems like good value to me.

its like the lotus cobra effect. it definitely has power, but you have to build your dekc properly to take advantage of it, but not shit the bed when it doesnt have it.

Splinter Twin is gone anyway. Mimic Vat makes 2 tokens with Parallel Lives in play. Now how to break it.

I've read both cards. I'm pretty sure a token can die. The exiling part of mimic vat is not relevant if the token dies, no?

Edit: just to be clear. When a token dies, it enters the graveyard then immediately becomes exiled. It still "dies."
