Actually, I've never heard such proverb. The only similar proverb that comes in mind is "La miglior difesa è l'attacco" that means "The best defence is the attack"...

The card itself, is not so bad, quite fragile, but not unlike a lot of other red creatures. Now it's also a Giant, so this makes one of the cheapest giant manawise... I may give it a try, if I had a Giant Deck. And by Giant Deck I don't mean one made of 300 cards, obviously...!
