Hideous, hideous art. It's in my top 20 of suck.

Too costly abilities, bad art, should've been monoblack, royal is so much better, but this is an old card so it's not that strange.

Invasion sure had some atrociously bad rares. This, Phyrexian Lens, Meteor Storm, the entire leech cycle..

Underestimated card.

Can tap an attacker on their turn, preventing damage, then blow it up on your turn. Repeatable removal on one card is worth 4 mana sink.

4/5

I agree with TheWrathofShane to a certain amount. I do not think the card should be as put down as it has been with it being able to repeatedly remove and/or stop damage from creatures. I gave it a 2.5 just simply due to the fact that other older cards such as the Royal Assassin need no mana to destroy tapped cards in conjunction with using the card itself. I do not think that the card deserves it's current ~1.9 mark.

2.5/5

The extra 3 on each ability is just unnecessary.
Without that, it would have been decent.

Like that, they could at least have removed the tap requirement from the cost, so you could at least savely kill a creature for 6BlueBlack (or 7BlueBlueBlackBlack in total).

Or did they hate the artwork so much they decided in the last moment to add the colorless off-the-charts extra mana requirement to turn it unplayable to make sure players won't have to look at this too often?
