3.5 just because of the creature type :)

This is a pretty solid shade. Pros like me like the extra toughness that this creature has.

1/5. An 0/4 for 4 with a +2/+2 pump for 2? This isn't catching my eye in draft.

I'm sorry, but in the whole of the history of Magic there's really only been one actually playable shade, Nantuko Shade, which is probably why it was given the rare slot. Still, I have a soft spot in my heart for Nakaya Shade, a creature that could have shone in Pauper if only it had been given a better rarity.

Overpriced card. Amazing, terrifying art.

I've always been worried about Looming Shade being too fragile before you have a chance to pump him.
And now, they give us a 0/4 with a less Black-intensive pumping ability.
It's not as good as the 4-cost flying one, but it's certainly something to look for!

Is it just me, or is this creature's shape (head, limbs) very similar to the Shadows from Babylon 5?
I always thought Magic was almost perfect, but needed more cross-overs with 90s TV sci-fi...

For some reason, I find it so easy to forget that this guy can actually attack.
Such a boss in limited.

I'm really surprised this isn't uncommon. All other shades have to pump or die to damage-based removal. At most, you should only need to leave one black mana untapped when facing a red mage to get him through round one. He is really sturdy and can be used in multicolor.
Perfect design on this one Wizards. Keep up the good work.
