So , I recently created aMomir Vig, Simic Visionary EDH deck and decided to throw this guy in it due to the multiple ETB's it had and the fact 6 cmc isn't much in this format. Little did I know how much Deadeye was going to impact my deck, especially if Momir is out. Eternal Witness on this dude with a Turnabout in hand is easy infinite mana, letting you cast creatures to tutor up whatever is needed, like Prime Speaker Zegana filling your hand, putting the Momir trigger first, snagging Acidic Slime. I could point out all the other triggers that everyone else had, but my main point is: this is exactly what a good magic card is all about; Awesome use of a set mechanic, awesome art, flexible in multiple formats and a cmc that fits the package.

This card is amazing. Add Acidic Slime for complete land destruction.

@steev, no, that's not correct. From the rules:
702.92a. Soulbond is a keyword that represents two triggered abilities. "Soulbond" means "When this creature enters the battlefield, if you control both this creature and another creature and both are unpaired, you may pair this creature with another unpaired creature you control for as long as both remain creatures on the battlefield under your control" and "Whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control, if you control both that creature and this one and both are unpaired, you may pair that creature with this creature for as long as both remain creatures on the battlefield under your control."
So whenever either this or the once-paired creature flickers back in, you can re-pair or pair with another creature.
What that ruling is saying is that when either creature enters the exile zone, it loses the ability and won't get it back unless a pair takes place. It seems like a confusing ruling - it would make sens... (see all)

While a bit color intensive, this plus Fiend Hunter makes for a nice way to exile anything your opponent controls.

This + Restoration Angel = Universal removal protection and ETB effects for non-angel creatures for 1U / two-creature vigilance for 1U / two free blocks for 1U... mix and match for as long as you have open mana.
IMO the most underrated card in the new set, I'm getting these while they're still cheap.

Recently playing him in a blue green deck. With geralf's mindcrusher and acidic ooze. When it says "1U: mill for five cards" or "1u: destroy target artifact, enchantment or land", things are looking good. :)
Still, this guy is balanced. He can't escape from mass removal, unlike cards that get exiled until end of turn, instead of returning immediately. And you can't exile both this and the soulbounded card at once.

@Scuzzy Soulbond only works with creatures you control.

I Johnnied in my pants when I saw this card. Imagine using this with Mulldrifter, Shriekmaw, or just about anything with Evoke - and that's thinking small. Preordering for 50 cents? I'll take ten.

Used this with Cathedral Sanctifier to gain massive life, and with Voice of the Provinces for lots of tokens. Won me quite a few games in the pre-release.
