The art of this card already told us what he is worth.

LOOK AT IT.

He is clearly trying to reason with his previous clients that he is worth the cost. You can clearly see the mob obviously come to him to complain how worthless he is, and how utterly HOPELESS it is to play HIM in draft.

It's like you bought a 'MINI-KOOPA' and hope it is worth its 10 years expectancy, only to utterly shatter a week later when it hits on a 1987 FORD within 50km/h. With that money, perhaps 50% more, you could have bought the much durable Nissan model Maximus. (pardon me for not knowing the CAR culture).

Bottom line is, he's clearly trying to calm down the incoming mob (Us. Players.) from literally taking him APART for using him, although you should kick yourself in the head for thinking he can be USED at all. Waiting to play him out is downright equivalent to getting your A$$ kicked.

This bony a$$ is no ringleader. He is DOG FOOD, and you'd be too if you shoved him into your deck.

"I mean, regenerate for 1 is really cool... but it's like Archweaver in the way that First Strike is a primarily aggressive ability while regeneration is not: The two abilities don't work." - Ferlord

How is regen solely a defensive stat? Not saying this guy is good, but 1st strike and regen do work well, and on an aggressive creature. So you swing with no fear b/c they are either going to let him through, block him with some chump that gets 1st striked to death, or something bigger and you regen your dude. Regen on an aggressive guy just means you can freely swing w/o fear.

No trample/reach... THAT is a pure either/or set of abilities,yes. But 1st strike/regen is just "balls to the walls", man....

The costing on this doesn't seem as bad if you assume the abilities are adding to the cost.

Take away first strike and it shaves off R from the cost, cheep regeneration is worth around 1 or 2, and random discard, the same. A vanilla 3/1 for 2B would be decent, not great, for the limited environment, and this guy's cost seems bolstered by the combination of his abilities. I could do without the first strike or even the random discard on him if it meant a cheaper, high-power regenerator.

As is, 2.5.

@Totema

Hypnotic Specter doesn't have first strike and can't regenerate. Of course the specter is much better than this, but they are different cards.

This should have costed 2BlackRed.
