Interesting new art a with a grim atmosphere, although I almost feel like there's not enough focus on the staff itself.
Then again, on the original art (which, almost unnotably, comes from Kaja Foglio), I am also mostly focused on the crab insect thing instead of the staff itself, which is in fact far more simplistic than the one drawn here by Cliff Childs.

Huh, I've never seen this one.
Cool abilities for a multiplayer format, I'd say. Political too!

I like to think of it as an Urza's Armor for 3 that also helps me kill my opponents a lot faster. And even after what must soon be 10 years, I still don't get why it's not a rare. It blanks low-power creatures while adding a ton of power to your side of the table, and it even stacks, potentially preventing up to 4 damage from creatures attacking you (or giving your creatures a whopping +4/+0 for {4})

I presume this works in junction with Jace, Architect of Thoughts to create an even tougher defense... and they curve into each other rather well also.
But I guess it can't reduce combat damage done to planeswalkers, too bad.
