The Glowrider goes a little slower.

they wanted to print Thalia, Guardian of Thraben by that time, but glowrider prevented them: "It's not yet time"

Not quite outdated by Thalia, as you can have multiple copies on the battlefield to stack the ability. Not a good body on this guy, though.

I am very happy with this creature ability. The old adage was, all creatures or all spells, you cannot win. This creature ability tips that scale!

Soooooo close to making a metagame impact in vintage. Just cost one-too-many, since 2 mana is the key spell cost in T1 (land + mox). Otherwise, it's just too slow.

Stack it with Thorn of Amethyst.

Actually this guy does 'combo' fairly well with Gaddock Teeg, but only because they cover two different threats. This guy slows down any deck that tries to generate storm from cheap 1cc spells, and Teeg protects you from bombs like Ad Nauseam. Of course, Thorn of Amethyst is just gravy, but I'd rather not run it -- you really only need so much redundant disruption.

Well, he costs 
more than Thalia and comes without first strike, but he isn't legendary, so you can potentially make noncreature spells cost 
more with four of these guys and Thalia together. Also he has some of the best flavor text I've ever seen. 4/5
