@Guest57443454: Hah! Yeah, this was the shizzle in Shandalar. I just started playing that again for the first time in years, and this is a card I'm rarely unhappy with. It's pretty good in cardboard form anyway, far more efficient than most of the walls in Magic's early days even without the fact it can ping the opponent for a damage a turn. But something about the opponents' deck construction in Shandalar makes this a particular gem in that context.

This flavourtext seems to be right out of a discworld novel!

would probably cost 3 today, but still not a bad card at 4.

I used to think this card was amazing when I got my first deck. (It was the first card with flying I had ever seen, and I thought 5 toughness was very strong.) Lol, how the times have changed! :) (yeahhh... this card is awful)

If you need a blocker, there are better, cheaper options but this can still fill that role.

It's a sword, and the set symbol is a sword.
