The card itself isn't good, but it definitely illustrates Starke's flavor from the magic storyline. I actually did a little research on Stark and I found out that he was a low-life minion and traitor for the good guys and the bad guys. I would love to share more information about him but I do not wish to spoil anything for those who have not read the stories of Gerrard Capashen and his crew. For those of you still curious I would recommend either reading some of the older books, or just read the articles on Wikipedia.

Hilarious general/commander if you know you're in multiplayer (or multiplayer card in general). Watch him just jump around the board -- no one wants to bother killing Starke, so he just bounces from controller to controller murdering things until somebody wraths the board, at which point he's cheap for a legend so probably the first one back on the table.

Also, combos with anything that lets you untap him (like Freed from the Real) -- put his ability on the stack targeting your least valuable artifact or creature, untap him, then put another instance of his ability on targeting whatever you really want to kill. That resolves and passes control, then the first ability resolves and he jumps back to your side. Makes him a super-version of Attrition on legs. If you can untap him repeatedly, you can kill one enemy card per untap, for just one of yours at the end. Sadly, I don't think there's any way to do that with him as a General because of ... (see all)

Simple solution; don't play a lot of artifacts or creatures ;D

Anyone else think he looks sort of like Nicholas Cage?

Back when damage used the stack, he was a better card than he is now.

He's still flavoursome, works in some combos and is fun and relatively powerful in casual decks.

He can block one creature and kill another, for instance.
