He tried to be a hero we'd know,
whose fame would endlessly grow.
But in one matter he wound up a splatter
as he was foolishly fighting Storm Crow.

There was once a man, of noble esteem,
Who dual wielded whips with a sparkling gleam,
But unto me he did say with a frown,
"Poet, you need to be writing this down."
I took up my pen in my right and I wrote;
I detailed his efforts as harpies he smote.
The reward for his efforts, and yes they were hard,
Would be to be featured as one Magic card.
Whence Theros came round and he purchased a pack,
I felt blasts of pain as I heard a loud crack.
"Epics and songs I did such expect,
but you sir killed dreams that made me erect.
This card has no use! It does not please me!
I'd be much more broken if you could just see!"
"Well," I replied, summoning crass,
"Maybe you shouldn't have been such an ass."
And the hero did smite me, now I'm on the floor,
Weeping and going to poet no more.

4.5/5
Don't underestimate this card. Someone placed Gift of Orzhova on this, then two Ordeal of Heliod's on this. Swung for a 10/10 flying, lifelink, double striker for the win. Gained 40 life in one turn at the cost of 20 damage to me. Many other crazy combos out there as well.

Won me a couple of games at the pre-release last week, along with Hold at Bay and Feral Invocation. Great card.

Has no one mentioned Hidden Strings? Seems good to me with this guy. Double strike + Cipher = extra free copies. All the while making him bigger.

This just won me tons of games with Hopeful Eildion and tons of heroic triggers

Better yet give it 2 Madcap Skills swing for 20 win the game. (Yeah this could work with any card that gave +3/+x but madcap skills is funnier).

In the proud tradition of Mirran Crusader and Silverblade Paladin!
This can quickly get ridiculous with something like Titan's Strength.

Probably weaker than both Mirran Crusader or Silverblade Paladin, but with all the aura shenanigans in this set, it's still a powerful, powerful card. If mono-white needed another beater, let's not forget that Glorious Anthem has essentially been reprinted (as a legendary enchantment artifact, but still), so this dude could see some pretty sweet action.

A haiku:
A harpy dying,
On its lips lay but three words:
'Dies to removal.'
