This card is good if you beat someone with it. You can then gloat for the rest of your life because your opponent's deck had to be PURE GARBAGE if it were beaten by this card.

This is among the biggest creatures with Cycling, so... there's that. If you are running a white reanimator deck, by all means use this.

White, after green, (due to its mana ramping) should be the color that lives long enough to play this. He's a 5/5 in a block that worships creatures that have 5 or greater power. And the cycling is useful when you have this early in the game.
My point is that he is not particularly good or bad. In drafts he is a very lrage beat stick. And everywhere else he is... well pretty much the same thing. Please note that as of 6/15/2010 there are only 11 mono-white creatures that have a higher power then him. 7 of which have a more color heavy casting cost. That includes the cards that will be released in M11.
That being said, for the same two mana (because that's how he will be used most of the time) I can draw a card AND have a 0/4 on the field. (Wall of Omens)
Yes I realise that one is common and the other is uncommon. But people wouldn't be complaining about this card unless we were talking about constructed. And let's face it, most of us don't make our construct... (see all)

Once upon a time, I built a deck full of Beasts that cycle and Patriarch's Bidding. This would have fit right in.

This time, for the benefit of those who don't get it, I'm just going to try to put out the fire before it starts.
This card is not good. In fact, it's one of the worst commons printed in a while. Posts claiming that it is powerful are not to be taken seriously. For more information, see my comment on Chimney Imp; it's pretty much the same thing.

I'd compare this to Scornful Egotist more than I'd compare it the the Pimp.

Comparing this thing to Baneslayer Angel is, in a word, stupid. One is an Mythic Rare, the other is a common that there are about 5 billion of.
It is a plowbeast. The basic cylcling premise is sound, as one would want to get this the hell out of their hand if you drew it early.
1.5/5
