It's october 2010 and this must be the most expensive common printed in a standard legal set at the moment....

this card does not deserve 5 stars. ornithopter was a similar card from antiquities that had a cc of zero. it was a 0/2 flying artifact creature. was that a 5-star card? no. no one played that card for years because, at the time, its power level wasn't even close to the that of cards like ancestral recall, black lotus, library of alexandria, or even mishra's factory and dark ritual. the rating system for cards should be comparative and all tournament-legal cards should be taken into account. otherwise, what's the point of having a rating system?
also, you have to ask yourself whether or not the inclusion of memnite in any type of deck automatically makes that deck better. no, it does not. hence, it does not deserve 5/5.
don't get me wrong - its a decent card. but, it's not ever going to have an effect on a game that's comparable to that of cards lik... (see all)

I think it's a bit inaccurate to say it costs nothing to play, as it costs you a card for something that's almost completely useless on its own. You can play it for no mana and then it can accomplish nothing and I'd rather just pay mana for something that will have a much bigger impact on the board. Not that I'm saying Memnite is bad, as it obviously works well together with a number of cards, just that it's not an auto 5 star and there's more to think about than "OMG CMC0!!".

Were so many Re-words quite necessary for the flavor text? We like puns, not alliteration, WotC.

They should have just reprinted ornithopter... this card is just ridiculous.

Currently, on the gatherer, this is the highest rated card with the mirian water mark, I can see how they lost the war when thier best card was this...

It's a free 1/1, you can't get much more vanilla or much more free, this would definitely be a great card if only it didn't die from removal.....I guess I'll still give it a 5/5 though because the art work is ok
