Coupla Eyecatchers

Two new spoilers that caught my eye: Bestial Menace and Dragonmaster Outcast.

Bestial Menace is 3 bodies and 6 P/T for 5 mana. Also has some great synergy with Oran-Rief. Token-generator that isn't countered by Maelstrom Pulse. Might be a contenda. Definitely looks like fun.

Dragonmaster Outcast...hmm. So fragile...and yet, so easy to protect. This is being compared to Scute Mob, and rightly so, but is it better or worse? I'd say better, because a terror will end the Scutemob and all it has gained, while keeping this dragon lady on the board to your next upkeep means they need a boardsweeper to deal with it. Boros likes it, as a Ranger can fetch it up lategame and give the Dragon token haste the next turn with a Bushwhacker; however, This card looks most valuable in a deck that can take advantage of some defensive cards. If we see a decent counter or two in WWK, this might be a finisher for some type of R/U(/W?) permission deck. R/G can hit this with a Vines of Vastwood, or that new troll shroud enchant for many dragons. A lot of exciting prospects with this little mythic rare.
