Nice, a reasonable, appropriately costed mythic. Would have worked as a 3/2 though.

I think I will take this moment to complain about the Scars block.

I started getting into the game in the Shards of Alara block. The shard I decided to play was Esper,the White

shard that was very loving of colored artifacts.

By the release of the Zendikar set I felt as though I was an average/experienced player. Not tournament level player (and I'm still not today) but I figured I had a good handle on the game.

Shortly after the release of Zendikar, I found the Wizards Website.There i was introduced to all of the other expansions from Magic's past and hints of its future. I was shown some of the problems with the game that were arising, such as overpowered mythics.

Summer of 2010. I have been playing for about 2 years now, and rumors are surfacing about the war between the Mirrans and the Phyrexians. As my first real experience with the game was Esper, I was exci... (see all)

absurdly good card for the cost, but will have a hard time finding a niche, especially in limited. No infect, will be tough to place with other B/G MBS cards

While the card is excellent, i'll even say 4.5 or 5 like others, there's something REALLY important to note. Often this card will act like a 3/3 for 3, or a 1/3 deathtouch first strike for 3. Both are alright, but counting First Strike from a 3 power point of view and then looking at deathtouch REALLY just means that the enemy won't block with multiple guys.

Like.. she's super good and all, but the abilities/stats are redundant if you look at them in a bias lighting. She'd be effectively the same if she was 1/3 but did 3 to players if unblocked.

Further note that in standard she's in Infect colors, but doesn't work well with other infectors. Because of this, the legendary status, the specific mana cost, and the ability being somewhat narrow she's a pretty balanced card in all formats I can seem to consider.

Compare to Voracious Cobra, Nirkana Cutthroat and Pestilent Kathari. The power creep is strong in this one.

When I read this card, I thought that the second part of it would be its massive drawback. Come on wizards, you could have made this thing a 2/1 if you were giving it all these abilities.
