Molten Primordial is one of the newest "Magic: The Gathering" cards spoiled today Jan. 16, 2013 from Wizards of the Coast's upcoming expert expansion set "Gatecrash." Revealed in an article at MagicTitans.it, Molten Primordial shines in Commander where there are several opponents.
Molten Primordial - 5RR
Avatar (Rare)
Haste
When Molten Primordial enters the battlefield, for each opponent, take control of up to one target creature that player controls until the end of turn. Untap those creatures. They have haste until the end of turn.
6/4
Molten Primordial joins Sepulchral Primordial, Diluvian Primoridal and Luminate Primordial as part of a five card Avatar cycle with "enters the battlefield" effects.
I a normal one on one duel players may want to run Zealous Conscripts instead. Not only does Zealous Conscripts cost two mana less, it can steal any permanent. That includes taking an opponent's planeswalker such as Liliana of the Veil, Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, or Tamiyo, the Moon Sage to use their ultimate ability against your opponent.
There's no doubt that Molten Primordial is a complete bomb in limited, where its big beefy body and threaten affect can swing the game in your favor. It's in multiplayer matches though where Molten Primordial can have a huge impact, stealing multiple creatures and allowing you to kill one or more players without leaving yourself defenseless.
How will you use Molten Primordial?
