Erik's Random card 7/1/2011
The first time I got to play with Eventide, I was crushed by Mike Turian. Of course that happens :)
But I didn't really experience much of the set, except this card. At the time it was:
1W
Sorcery
Divergence (If CARDNAME is in your graveyard, you play any white card in your hand as a copy of this card.) Put a 2/2 white Kithkin Soldier creature token into play.
Mike cast this on turn 2, a flier on turn 3, and used Divergence on turn 4 to make two more 2/2's. POW!
I suggested making this 3 mana, but that didn't make people happy. Matt Place (the lead developer of the set) pointed out that even if I did come back from that start, I wouldn't learn much about the set; Mike was tossing all his white cards for the early rush. All I remembered was that they were white, and became 2/2's.
Mark Rosewater and Matt Place held an "offsite" meeting at MaRo's house. On the way there I pitched an idea to Matt: if throwing all your spells away was boring, why not m... (see all)

My friend plays this card pretty strategically in his Teysa, Orzhov Scion EDH.
It's not the best card around, but putting two tokens with two decent if not excelent creature types is nothing to scoff at,
Especially when it can be used more than once.

Yes, Repel Intruders is better for the mana cost, but that's not the point. This card shines in the late game, when the kithkin deck is out of stuff to do and has too much mana available. When you run out of creatures or topdeck lands later on in the game, this card rules.

In slow white decks, this actually isn't that bad to have. If you ever find your games stretching long and you have 7+ lands in play that you don't need, then get a couple of these and they'll give you something to do when you topdeck a plains.

I prefer repel intruders, personally.

reminds me a bit of the art and ability of Sosuke's Summons

As said before, very devastating in the late game for Pauper, and limited.

It's definitely supposed to be a riff on Sosuke's Summons.

3 tokens would have been to powerful for a common, it needed either to be an instant or cost
