her toughness is up to code (5 for 5 mana), but her power's a little low. If she were a 5/5, I'd say 'fine'.

Not Great. But, 5/5 is bigger than Serra Angel, and less mana than Shivan Dragon.

You'd be AMAZED how far those two questions get you in evaluating Old Creatures. Lord of the Pit is odd to evaluate, because he's both more mana, but also more Power, and Black has some neat cards...soo....I'd call it 'taking a calculated risk' to play him- but do not compare other creatures to him. Trample and Flying are nigh interchangeable, 'specially in those days, which is why having BOTH makes Lord of the Pit just-almost-tempting-enough.


Compare the Mana Cost to Shivan Dragon (who is actually a 10 Power Monster for 6 mana)
and the Power to Serra Angel (who is a 4/4 for 5, with Flying)

These ^ Two ^ KILL people!!! o.o
