This card is a staple in my favorite blue white control deck. This card hits the field by turn 3 and my friends all groan and curse. Ah... such a good feeling. This is the only wall card I've ever played that literally feels like something safe to hide behind.

The hands on the wall should be giant middle fingers instead...

Who would have guessed that a wall would get a rating of 4 1/2 stars?
It's an awesome wall for sure, stopping even the most broken of of Turn 2-3 attackers (where's your Abyssal Persecutor now?
@Scumbling: Buying time is a critical aspect of the game. Nobody said that I was playing walls instead of game-winning spells and abilities. Reliably and repeatedly buying time isn't good on it's own, and filling a deck with only that results in a lot of slow defeats. But if you buy time efficiently and early enough, it gives you more time to ramp mana and drop those finishers, because ramping and playing creatures takes up time, and this has unprecedented delaying power at a relatively manageable cost. On top of all that, a lot of decks burn themselves out quickly, if they can't get through those first few turns. Defenders repeatedly thwart their attempts at getting through, which means that after they've emptied their hand, all they can do is wait for you to draw your f... (see all)

Wall of Omens might cantrip and combo with Venser, the Sojourner, but this stops bigger things than Wall of Omens. For a lot longer. It pretty much stays around until you cast Day of Judgment.

I guess this wall's true weakness is Infect but as the flavour text suggested, this card still bought me quite a bit of time.
Bought me 8 turns, to be exact.
