Darksteel Plate is a must on this guy. Add in Twilight Shepherd for s&g's.

Hmmm......Wrath of God just kills all creatures for the same price when its played, so is it worth waiting a turn just to destroy some artifacts and enchantments as well? I would imagine in some situations that it would be, but most of the time Wrath of God is going to be better because the magus is too easily at risk of getting killed. Then again, if you don't own Wrath of God, or simply decide to play both in a deck, it would make sense to use him.

Since he's a 2/4 - a rather effective blocker - it matters a lot that he comes into play tapped. He also wouldn't "be" the real Disk if he came into play untapped, it just wouldn't feel right. That said, Nevinyrral's Disk is a superior card - less subsceptible to removal and colourless so it can be played in any deck. White already has Wrath.

He's a wizard. That's what gives him an edge over other cards like with effects like his, such as Wrath of God or Nevinyrral's Disk. This lets him interact with cards that allow you to cycle for him (letting you get your reset button when you need it, and not at the expense of taking up multiple slots by throwing more than one in) and gives him a host of other tribal interactive advantages. He's also got that 2/4 body, which means you can lay him down confidently at turn four even if you don't necessarily plan on popping his disk right away.

Regarding flavor this seems indeed more black,
but that color keeps having problems when it goes to destroying artifacts, let alone enchantments (which red never quite managed to destroy either).
So Wizards made this Magus white because they didn't want black to get a board cleaner for enchantments and artifacts, even if Nevinyrral seems to be an exceptional Necromancer capable of destroying enchantments.
Maybe Nevinyrral is in fact a W/B guy? :D

I think it's quite funny that he comes into play tapped. Since you could not "pop the disk" the turn he comes into play anyways. Given that he is a creature and subject to summoning sickness. And it's not like white has any easy way to give him haste.

@Tommy9898: The Magus of the Disc is NOT named Timmy! His name must, and can only, be Larry.
