Breaker of Armies and Skitterskin are two uncommon creatures that we’re likely to see in quite a few Eldrazi centered Limited decks. The first, Breaker of Armies, is a 10/8 for 8 colorless mana that forces all creatures that are able to block it - literally breaking armies. The second, Skitterskin, is 3B for a 4/3 that can’t block, but can regenerate for 1B. Breaker of Armies seems like an excellent creature to top a Limited deck curve and it can fit into literally any deck, so I see it making a difference in the format. He’s probably not Constructed playable, but I can see some Commander decks taking advantage of a big dumb beater that can absolutely wreck an opponent’s board state. You never know though: someone playing Tron in Modern may sideboard a copy to take care of clogged board states.
Skitterskin is pretty underwhelming. You have to control another colorless creature to even regenerate him, which is fine in many cases, but on his own he’s pretty mediocre. I’m sure he’ll see Limited play but probably more as a filler creature than anything else. He’s one of the weaker Eldrazi Drones spoiled in the set so far.
