Seems like a pretty bad masterpiece. 1r, 2/22r, 4/43r, 7/74r, 11/115r, 16/16Simple fact of the matter is it doesn't get big enough fast enough.

I got that on release day (one of 2 mythics in my 5 pp pulls lol).Its a weird card (it won't gain shield if you can't draw any cards), but definitely solid if you can keep it out for a couple turns. It becomes 2 free cards every turn very quickly.I actually ran it in a Tezz 1 build in the last Emrakul event and it worked quite well. It worked less well in my Fathom Mage Jace build because all the other draw effects I have kind of negated it. It should be pretty awesome in any Beacon Bolt build, although I haven't tried it out there yet.

I can only think of using this effectively with Borborygmos (sp?) and let him do the heavy lifting but still that doesn't make this card an explosive one sadly. I am sure there are a few other ways to reinforce it via legacy since that is what it seems to be designed for seeing that spending 40 mana for 16/16 is overkill. Yarosh has also been suggested on facebook.I think you can do much better than Hexdrinker as an accompaniment to either card.

absolutely. The return for investment based on time and risk for something that could get big is best spent on something that can be strategically played and is big and explosive.
are you referring to Yarok?

Mirror Match will make anything that big on a lucky turn Oh ya been the victim of that many a time. Hexdrinker appears to hold onto the stats after the reinforcements drop. So a decent run gets you a 20/20+ who stays 20/20+. Not a game breaker by any means but fun to tinker with
thesmallesthuman said: mirror march seems like the best bet in the hexdrinker case, but that's always a crapshoot unless zacama is in the picture.you could build an entire domri deck around spamming his second with hexdrinker as only creature, maybe some repeated reverberations with finale of devastation and chord of calling...i mean, you could make it work probably maybe, but also probably maybe at the expense of making anything else actually happen and having it all get completely dismantled with one little kill spell.i don't actually have the card, so can't test any of this myself but i'm ready to jump aboard the meh train for this one. which probably means i will somehow get stomped by it in the next event that i care about. speaking of meh, i got sisay. haven't tried her yet and all y'all up there are not helping inspire me much. ho ho ho, yay free stuff!
