Rukh Egg is a reprint
from Arabian Nights, but this time as a Rare (it
used to be a common). Honestly, the upgrade in
rarity is necessary, as this card would be way too
good as a common card. Rukh Egg can scare your
opponent enough that they may hold back on
attacking until they feel they have better board
control, and can handle a 4/4 flyer. It's also a
combo possibility with Global creature destruction
spells...clear the board of all other
creatures...but my 4/4 flyer. Nice. Even better
with Obliterate. Clear the board of EVERYTHING but
my 4/4 flyer. Most likely game over.
In limited, this is an
early pick. It's a wall early on, and a possible
4/4 flyer.

Finally, we finish
the week with the 8th Edition promo card, Rukh
Egg. A 0/3 for 4, if that was all it was, would
be crap. But the ability it gives you to have a
4/4 flier when the 0/3 hits the graveyard is a
potent one. Could be a strong combo with
Obliterate, along with being nice as a chump
blocker first.
In limited, it gives
you a 4/4 flier. I'd play it if I was going red.

Rukh Egg
This is a good card. There is a deck that is being
worked on at mtgnews.com
called RW Turbo Obliterate. That deck uses cards
like Obliterate, Wrath of
God, Slice and Dice, and Star Storm to kill
everything, and you'll be left
with a few 4/4 flying Rukhs.
4 mana gives you a 0/3 blocker, that, when it
dies, you get a 4/4 flyer.
