@nammertime: This is bad even by old standards. 4/4 for 5cmc wasn't good, it was just the average. Each of the basic Elementals was still better than that, for example. What makes this card insulting is that not only is it two-color, but also a legend. So that's two drawbacks with no benefit to outweigh. Compare this to Gwendlyn Di Corci, who costs one less mana, has the same total power/toughness, and comes with an awesome ability.

Well, Pauper. With Steel of the Godhead.
Beyond that, this is trash.

I remember having one of these when I was a kid. Always thought he looked like he needed a beat down.

Andrion's (alleged) advantage over Serra Angel and Water Elemental appears to be that he could take advantage of Cathedral of Serra and Seafarer's Quay. As I mentioned on that land cycle, the original intent was likely that you would include those lands as a matter of course, so your included legends could form an adventuring party of sorts. Problem? They over-estimated the efficacy of banding.

Once upon a time, a designer from wotc thought that giving a creature more than one color would make it cool enough that it doesn't need any special ability..that someone was wrong..so wrong..
Jasmine Boreal, Kasimir the Lone Wolf, Lady Orca, Sivitri Scarzam and Tobias Andrion are examples of these.

I had this guy in my WU deck for a while, then when Venser came out, I replaced him with that. After two games I missed him and had to put him back. :')

You can't blame old creatures for being what they are. A 4/4 for 5cmc was pretty good way back when.
