Don't waste an early pick on it, I'm begging you, but if this tables around to like 10th pick feel free to take it. If you end up with a really aggressive deck it will do good things for you. Otherwise, notsomuch.

I'd say it's worth paying life for creature spells if you expect them to deal more than two damage to an opponent within their lifespan (which is likely, seeing as this will tend to beat onto he battlefield only larger creatures). If your opponent is spending their fourth turn playing a slow taxing effect such as this, chances are you can race them before the damage even matters.

I want 4 of these! As well as 4 Vapor Snag, 4 Psychic Barrier and Mindcrank just for the lulz!

Bloodchief Ascension Speed up your opponents death, or screw up their tempo and slow them down.

Soul Barrier fulfilled 2 criterias: common and cmc 3.
So this should have been a blue artifact reprint with a blue {P} in both cost and payment method.

This can mess up weenie swarm decks, but it doesn't stop token production. I do run this in a blue-red control deck with Eldrazi combined with Propaganda. I have very little in the way of defense otherwise in the early game.

I've got a blue deck this was made for. Has 2 Soul Barrier, 3 Slow Motion, and about 12 variations on Unsummon. This might be what replaces Tangle Wire. {P} Does it work?
