Chasm Skulker

I feel like Chasm Skulker could be really strong in the right shell and might take over as an AEtherling type threat when that rotates out.
I really like Chasm Skulker . It will probably sit comfortably as a one of for any deck I construct that contains blue for the next block.

I like squids, but that is in no way going to be a new win con, especially since Elspeth, Sun's Champion is still around.

It pairs nice with Stormtide Leviathan in an unblockable/control deck such as this, Declaring blockers... Oh wait..

I'm not sure how it will play out in standard, but at last night's prerelease I scored 6th place thanks to this guy. Chasm Skulker + Rogue’s Gloves + Invisibility won me so many games.

Chasm Skulker is the second best card you can have in a Marchesa, the Black Rose EDH. I get an average of 17 squids with it.

Ok so he definitely has some playability stacked into that little body. Thats what I was thinking I also thought he might be decent with Life's Legacy

I just got back from my release, and Chasm Skulker was fun. he was also the only card i was specifically hoping to get so that made me happy. he'll soon find a home in my Nekusar, the Mindrazer edh deck

Chasm Skulker goes great with Zameck Guildmage and Prime Speaker Zegana .

Well he's the secondary win con in my jest b/r midrange deck..."You got 99 frogs... Now you got none", the reason I like him is that I can tie him up with my primary win con, Stormtide leviathan...the islandwalk, is pretty key to the win... He's just good... Even if you don't make him a win condition... Hes a 3 drop 1/1, that gets at least a +1/+1 every turn... And when he dies you get a million 1/1s:)

I think I am taking out old Lorescale Coatl in my Vorel of the Hull Clade edh deck.

Why take out when you can run both @jpgcoleman?

InconspicuousPotato my build is pretty well tuned. Lorescale Coatl is probably my worst card at the 3 slot. I also forgot to mention the synergy with Fathom Mage .

Can't wait to get my hands on this. Chasm Skulker + Marchesa, the Black Rose = A good time.

Enter the Infinite + Chasm Skulker and either trample or some kind of evasion, should be all...

I just want him for Nekusar, the Mindrazer EDH. Gives you some mileage out of card draw if Nekusar isn't on the battlefield and is made even better when he IS.

My wife thought up this one tonight- Chasm Skulker should be an auto include in any Commander build using Azami, Lady of Scrolls as their commander. Needless to say, she won tonight.

I'm thinking of running him in an Izzet deck that focuses on Burn and Draw.
Fling + a pumped up Chasm Skulker + Purphoros, God of the Forge is always a good time ;3

maxon I like the idea of Chasm Skulker being in that deck, I think I'll do that too.
July 26, 2014 10:07 a.m.
I hope Chasm Skulker sees play. My first pull from M15 was a foil Chasm Skulker he is one of my favorite cards from this new core set.

Chasm Skulker is seeing a slow but steady price climb. I think Now is the time to pick him up right before spoiler season.

Win cons are meant to be slow because they cost a lot to play and are op. This is not quite there.
