"Now stop complaining, you entitled self-centered brats."

You might've had a point, but that's pretty rude, man.

If its not people complaining about powerful mechanics being to over costed and undersized, than it is people screaming about power creap and how all the good creatures are ruining magic.

Come on people! Do you want potentially deadly creatures that have reasonable risks, or do you want to die to poison counters on every other game? Balancing is a very tricky and demanding job and I think they did well with this. If the opponent can't answer it, they die very quickly. Less than 5 hits if you already did some damage before hand. This give you the option of having a flying infect without having to be black, thus expanding deck builds, which is a good thing.

Now stop complaining, you entitled self-centered brats.

this guy is good, remember Loxodon Partisan and Accorder Paladin? An evasive dude that can be pumped with green and battle-cry'd is why this is so good...

However, it doesn't really taste white. Replace the sun with a skull and make the border color black... I mean the flavor text already points to a black card.

Mediocre infect card, but I can say the name all day. Tine shrike, tine shrike, tine shrike. Now my mouth feels numb.

Anyone care to explain how this is even remotely white, or is this just the 10 billionth example of "Oh let's give White every f**king part of the color pie cuz it's not broken enough yet!" again?

When compared to Lost Leonin, this card should cost 2White because of Lost Leonin's relation to the corresponding non-Infect vanilla power level of its time. Lost Leonin is Elite Vanguard for 1 more mana, but with Infect. The corresponding creature for Tine Shrike is Stormfront Pegasus. However, for some reason Tine Shrike costs 2 more mana instead of the typical 1 more mana for Infect. It's ok as it is, but would have been cool if it costed 1 less. Anyway, compare Plague Stinger to Bog Imp. I know the Imp isn't recent, but the Stinger is the same card except with Infect and a different creature type. As White Infect stands, (of the 4 creatures), I would say the most playable is between Lost Leonin and Priests of Norn. Sadly, neither of these are really stellar but that can be "generally expected" of c... (see all)
