Couldn't they just have given this guy "Protection from Jund?"

This is a very resitant card. No black kill or red burn, and first stike + lifelink is amazing, but vigilance adds that nice free attack without worrying about red or green uber fatties

5/5 P.S. Tinker ftw

this is the best creature bomb in esper since you can repeatably rebounce it with the master transmuter forcng their spell to fizzle, it's immune to anything but white in standard, and can take on the biggest creatures in the game without fear, oh and Of course akroma's better she legendary, but i'll have 4 of these on the field thank you,akroma dies

Sphinx: "Why should I spare your life?"
You: "I'm Pestilent Kathari. I'm a fying, first strike, deathtoucher."
Sphinx: "Oh, okay. You may proceed."
You: "Irresistible Prey."
Sphinx: "Arrrgh..."

Lifelink = An ability you never combine with vigilance, let alone first strike.

Adding Flying and protection from the biggest colors in Standard?

The only reason I can see it not being uber-bomb in Standard is because its only real way of getting into play, Master Transmuter, dies to everything this doesn't. Still, you get this out, Jund players will cry/scoop. Probably both. It's just that unkillable.

I like it alot, they have tried to make it an artifact that cant be destroyed so easy,

but it means people will just pack cards especially for these kinds of cards,

still i give it 5/5 as it is the card i wanted the most out of the entire set

also they should change edh to alara dragon highlander, the amount of leaders that have come out are amazing

I love the artwork and flavor text on this one. That thing looks like it would rip your face off as soon as look at you.

I added Bone Splinters to my Jund sideboard simply because of this card.
