The new Simic keyword, Evolve, is going to LOVE Deadeye Navigator and similar effects.

Hands down favourite card in the set. Art is top-notch. Teeming with flavour. In a spirit deck, run with devastation tide, Geist of Saint Traft, stormbound geist, or Geist-Honored Monk to make strategic use of his ability.

I *love* this guy. Of course, I'm realistic - at 6 mana he's no titan. Titans win games off their own backs, and while some of them have dynamite synergy with other cards (ie. Sun Titan + Phantasmal Image; Primeval Titan + Valakut), they're still potent CA machines on their own. Deadeye trades that for less individual flair, for more synergy with more cards. These days there's virtually a creature that can perform any task required - counter, discard, mill, spot removal, draw, and so on.
It's also fitting that he's in blue - the color of counters, given that one of the only ways to stop him is to sweep, seeing as how he can bounce himself in response to spot removal.
Personally, I like him in UGx seeing as he's a mana-hog, but can do a lot with it, and can act as a funnel for surplus mana, turning it into extra card advantage. These colors also allow you to play him alongside Mystic Snake, Venser and Eternal Witness for repeatable counters, and Fauna Shaman to tutor for exactly what ... (see all)

@auriscope: Only one activation per turn? Tell that to Restoration Angel, Pestermite, Deceiver Exarch and all the other infinite combos Kiki-jiki allows. Kiki-jiki even sees modern play. That's how good it is. This is an EDH only card.

Turn after you get this guy on the field, you can use the ability three times!
1U, flicker the paired creature. 1U, flicker Deadeye, pair with another creature. 1U, flicker that creature.
OR, soulbound with Frost Titan, attack with both, then flicker Frost Titan 3 times. That's 4, yes, 4 permanents tapped.
Yes, please!

This could just be nasty in a Sneak Attack deck - if you flicker it, you don't need to sac it at end of turn, right? Then its ability can be bonded with Tyrant of Discord, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, or whatever.

How does he interact with Gideon Jura? Turn Gideon into creature , drop deadeye, soul bond Gideon,. Do they remain bonded when he goes back to planeswalker? And if they do, and you blink Gideon after activating his 0 ability, because he comes back as a new permanent, could you use his +2 to potentially lock out opponent combat?
