yet another card you look at, say that its great, mabey even rate it high. But then you put it on the shelf and never use it. Right in the middle range of things too big to play normally and too small to be worth cheating for.

I still don't quite get why Esper needed a non-legendary, (minion reflector anyone?) artifact version of Akroma. Looks like master transmuter just got a new best friend...

Inkwell is better when your opponent has islands, otherwise, I would pick up this sphinx

It's an Esper Akroma!

Shame on you, Wizards!

Although I do like the attempt to make Akroma more viable for tournament play with Master Transmuter. 5th turn Akroma? Yes please.

Akroma is still better. Giving the sphinx lifelink and protection from green doesn't doesn't make up for the loss of haste, trample and protection from black. Edit: Just realised it doesn't need protection from black to stop doom blade because it is a black creature.

@salemaleth
I'm sorry, but against a Sphinx of the Steel Wind, Akroma still wings. Pro Black, what is Sphinx of the Steel Wind? Black. thus, Akroma wins. Just thought I'd point that out, though you can have more Sphinixs, Mirror Gallery fixs that. Oh and Solemn Offering.

Now, this card is ridiculously good, no denying that. vigilance and lifelink should never be on the same card, but it's fun. A 5/5 easily. And getting eight mana out isn't so hard with esper colors, as those are great control colors, duh.
