Making a vertical cycle where one color variant gains you much life as another deals damage to a player might seem right due to symmetry, but it's a terrible design choice. Which probably explains the abysmal rating:
Compare then to the following red/white pairs of other vertical cycles for example:
- Zuberas: Ember-Fist Zubera/Silent-Chant Zubera
- Mirrodin Spellbombs: Pyrite Spellbomb/Lifespark Spellbomb
- Ordeals: Ordeal of Purphoros/Ordeal of Heliod
That's a ratio of 1 (2, 3) damage to 2 (5, 10) life. And the damage can even be directed at a creature in all cases.
So it's probably the frustation about this fact that made her end up with a rating worse than Willow Elf.
After all, Willow Elf just happens to be one of many harmless, crappy yet forgetful vanilla 1/1s.
Starved Rusalka, on t... (see all)

Ok, ok. It isn't great. In fact, it's far from good. But at the very least it should be rated better than Willow Elf. I reckon Spirit is just about as relevant as Elf. And idk, maybe you could use the ability after you were done with a creature you Mark of Mutiny 'ed or something.
1.5/5

It's an uncommon because all the other Rusalkas are, and they're in a cycle.

UNCOMMON? UNCOMMON? What insanity is this? This is barely acceptable as a common.
