3 mana Minion
6/1
Build (1)
That’s actually pretty strong earlygame choice, IMO.
Wish it was Songhai. Teleports and stuff…
Immortal Vanguard - Abyssian - Void Talon
Build 1 is good but this card is a worse phalanxar…

Magmar has Phalanxar, which costs 1 less and comes into play immediately. And it does not see play…
Why should I run this?

Because its a 0/10 when you play it, preventing bloodtear and such. Then it becomes a phalanxar with rush. This is a terrifying turn 1 play

Because it’s encased in a 0/10 shell casing before it comes out with what is effectively Rush? Not saying it’ll be good enough, but there are reasons.
Edit: @oranos’d!

It’s better than phalanxar but the amount of ping to counter eggs that will be in the next meta makes it a lot weaker
I think i like being a verb 
Void talon sucks against swarm but is great as aggro and tempo

@oranos and @thematsjo have the right idea.
Remember, you can’t eliminate this with Sphere of Darkness, Gotatsu, Bloodtear Alchemist etc before it is built. By the time it is built, it will have already rammed itself into something, or at the very least, forced your opponent to not contest as many mana tiles in order to keep their minions alive.
Pretty strong imo, especially considering Abyssian’s less than amazing early game.

zyx sacrifice talon will be the new scariest p1t1 opening

This is a very solid aggro card.
It’s pretty much 2 Phoenix fires in one card, that you simply have to wait for the next turn to use. That’s a bit of a stretch for an analogy, but I think I make my point.
Waaaaaay better than phalanxar.

Guys, natural selection still deals with it, don’t forget that when hyping
… You kill it off the moment it comes online >.>
Well, you have to do it immediately. Early game that can slow tempo quite a bit. Besides, Magmar is good against build in general, we can’t just cry “garbage” because one faction has really good tools versus a certain mechanic.
Also, if there does happen to be a minion that reduces build timers…
Wait, I didn’t understand this so far: so all the built minions will act immediately after being assembled, just like if they had Rush?
Of course this changes the analysis of the card. It might see play

build minions have rush as soon as they finish, just like egg minions have rush as soon as they hatch.
well yeah
imagine if minions hatched from eggs were exhausted and had to wait another turn to do anything
anything with rebirth would be literally unplayable
*and since its technically not rush nightwatcher doesnt counter it

Yes this can be good, but I expect it to be a noob killer. People who know what they’re doing will just bodyblock so this can’t go face. Can still be good though Abyss can deal with bodyblocks
