Dear Kitchen Finks:

I HATE YOU AS MUCH AS MY DARK SOUL CAN HATE A CARD, YOU COWARD LITTLE CREATURE

That being said, this card is pure value. It makes it an uphill battle for any aggro deck. Thankfully, we now have Deathrite Shaman to exile him in response to the persist trigger.

@Chamale - no, Sigil Captain only buffs 1/1s... you mean Juniper Order Ranger! :)

I have to admit, I didn't understand the awesomeness of this card at first... I woke up slowly to its power. Taken individually, its various abilities aren't the greatest, but the whole package is quite impressive!

Today, I'd be happy if they just do
1GG
3/2
When this ETB, gain 4 life.

Somehow I have the feeling that they'd do the nitpicking, compare this with Nessian Courier, and decides this needs to be nerfed a bit.

The point I'm trying to make here is: amid all the complexity that is the hybrid and persist, it's easy to forget to compare with simpler cards and lose sight of the power level difference. In other words, in general
* Simpler cards need to be buffed, and get less nitpicking. (4/4 for 1GG and 3/2 Haste for 1RR in M12, Wizards.)
* Complex cards need to be scrutinized more. Cards like Umezawa's Jitte was born because they did not compare it with an equipment with +4/+4, 2 to cast and 2 to equip; it was so complex that people lose sight of the fact that the first mode (+2/+2 twice) itself would have been overpowered, or at least powerful.

I looked up "ouphe" in the dictionary and it said "an elf or goblin". But those are completely different...

I LOVE this card. Gains me four life, takes out two of my opponents creatures, combos with Ajani Goldmane and graft cards, and its an Ouphe, a mischievous creature that likes to raid peoples kitchens. As I said before I LOVE this card.

It's already decent without persist or hybrid mana, but both of them IN ADDITION to an already competent creature/life gain engine is awesome. Not many better or easier-to-play 3cc creatures out there.

I see this being best friends with Juniper Order Ranger and Quillspike.
