i'm suprised this never really found a home in Standard. Still a great card, though.

At first glance I was like "Yeah whatever". I didn't even notice it was rare it just seemed like one of those shades they print in every set. After seeing it in play however, I was blown away.

So good to see Nantuko Shade grace the spoiler pages !! We lost Nocturnus, at least this guy gives the mono black decks some hope !! Great card, thanks for not changing the art !!

this, by today standards, is not broken, not even close, it stands as a very good card still, i do hope they reprint him for several more years, since classics like this should always be reprinted in a core set.

(The greatness of this card mechanically is obvious enough to not warrant comment at this point)

Wizards, 2009: We changed nantuko husk to this vampire because players of a core set probably don't know what a "Nantuko" is. Vampires resonate more with new players. We know the husk is a classic, but we'd rather take a nostalgia hit than confuse new players.

Wizards, 2010: Here's a classic Nantuko in a core set. Vampire Aristocrat? We have no idea what you're talking about.

Wizards, 2011: Now, new players probably don't know what a Cephalid is, so here's Cephalid Retainer reinvisioned as a dolphin with a crossbow.
