One of those cards you have to deal with the turn it hits the board (before summoning sickness wears off). one of my friends plays this guy in a legend deck and I find myself trying to fake him out just so I can get stuff on the board (i.e. trying to unsummon Ertai, which gets countered, so I can cast a creature or kill spell in response). Both Ertai's are naaaaasty!

"Best used with enchantments that return to hand. Rancor is the most memorable but *not* the best for this guy. Mostly since its not in his colors.

Only reason people say "Auras stink" is because if the creature dies your out one whole card. If it was a negative-effect aura, you would have been better off controlling or killing it rather than weakening. But the auras I listed above are different. Since they come back they aren't disadvantageous (or at... (see all)

T1: sol ring, sword of the meek
T2: thopter foundry, thornbite staff
T3: this jerk
T4: equip the staff, make a token, save one blue open
T5: counter up to 3 target spells or start thopter army
Never heard of this guy until I played against that opening in commander. I got killed slowly by one thopter.
