With the announcement of the name of the third and final set in the second Mirrodin black being named New Phyrexia over Mirran Pure, wizards had also released info about the five colored leaders, or "Praetors" of New Phyrexia. Today, I will go over and review the strengths and weaknesses of the green Praetor: Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger.
Vorinclex's cool name is not undeserved at all. Like all the other Praetors, Vorinclex has a positive and negative ability for you and your opponent, respectively. His ability focuses on mana production, something readily available for green. When he is in play, he will double the amount of mana you produce and will make your opponent's mana untap only every other turn. This is a great addition to any ramp deck, because after it is cast, with one more mana you can play any creature in the game of Magic, most notably, Emrakul. He can also disrupt the strategy of the opponent by potentially neutralizing every other turn your opponent has with his mana freezing ability. In limited he can severely hurt your opponent's game too. He disrupts the flow of your opponents cards while doubling your output, and doesn't have an intense color commitment from green. At seven mana, he is certainly playable and competitively viable, and can definitely see use in some green decks. When paired with genesis wave, you can also double the output of the card, which is commonly seen in Valakut decks. Another card seen in many green decks that would benefit from Vorinclex is Green's Sun Zenith. With Vorinclex out you can pull virtually any green card straight from your deck with the zenith.
