I want to build American control featuring {hushwing gryff} {ensoul artifact} and (potentially) going infinite with {the chain veil} and {ral zarek}. its gonna be called "Shh! It's Hushwing Gryff".

That card is pretty frekin' insane! Easy $30 card. It's gonna do some serious work in Standard and maybe even Modern.

EDIT: Nvm on that $30, thought it was a Rare. How the hell is that card an uncommon?

Card is cool.  It also marks the first time the text "base power and toughness" has been used on a card.  I really hope they don't continue with that, because it reads awkwardly.

They've chose to make many awkward phrasing decisions that I've noticed this set. Chain Veil is a perfect example.

Do would ornithopter be a 5/5 or a 5/7

it becomes a 5/5, it doesn't get +5/+5 or anything of the sort, so 5/5

Off the top of my head -

Creatures - 18
4 Ornithopter
4 Phyrexian Revoker
3 Cheif Engineer
4 Generator Servant
3 Scuttling Doom Engine

Artifacts - 6
4 Springleaf Drum
2 Pithing Needle

Spells - 13
4 Shrapnel Blast
4 Ensoul Artifact
2 Stoke the Flames
3 Lightning Strike

Land - 23
4 Temple of Epiphany
4 Shivan Reef
4 Steam Vents
4 Darksteel Citadel
4 Mountain
3 Island

No idea if this is even viable.  Let's do it.

Right? This could be an extremely sweet card to brew around. You could almost make a (mostly) creature-less artifact control with {Trading Post} and board wipes and value low-mana artifacts, maybe a couple keyrunes, and some control and maybe a fatty or three. This card seems extremely fun to build around.

Due to the fact that the deck will (most likely) be mud, you can even run a playset of that new locus-esque land {Radiant Fountain}, to just randomly gain life, some {Mutavault}s and stuff. This could be a pretty badass archetype. That would be my direction with the card personally.

Ensoul Artifact on the Citadel on turn 2. Now you have a 5/5 industructible guy. Seems good to me.
