Well by your own argument, if this was blue, shouldn't it deal a damage to that creature? (Prodigal Sorcerer) You'd never see a blue 'pinger' now-a-days because it has since become a Red staple. But look at Hornet Sting, we might see a Green one some day.

Point being, just because an effect was part of one side of the color wheel doesn't mean things can't change. Tapping creatures is currently a White aligned effect. Sleep and the other ice-themed effects (Wall of Frost, Frost Titan, etc included) have the added "don't untap" clause, giving them an entirely different purpose. They also aren't as reactive as white's tappers being at sorcery speed (with exception being Frost Breath).

And as far as I know, White never bounced anything but it's own things (see Narrow Escape) but uses other clauses as pseudo-exile effects such as bottom o... (see all)

This is (one of the many) the reason you need a kill spell in M12 limited.

It'd be superb in any limited environment, but the ability to pop the M12 illusions makes it even better.

It's a good card but I like Stun Sniper a lot more.

This is an excellent common. Even if you don't have Gideon's Avenger for synergy, it's definitely worth a spot in limited formats. And this is a card that gets better in constructed, where you can make best use of its ability.

This guy is AWESOME. I can't even remember how many times he's helped me stall long enough to get set up & wreck shop and like someone else said about the illusions, he's 1 drop removal :) white loves him!

I don't think this really makes much difference to Gideon's Avenger. The creature you're locking down with this card is going to be either a big dangerous attacker, or something with a valuable Tap ability. In other words, it was going to be pumping up the Avenger anyway.

That said, a functional reprint of Goldmeadow Harrier is always going to be good, even if Human isn't as supported as Kithkin.

I swear, when this card comes into play, the White symbol looks a lot like a troll face.
