Wow. 3/4 for 3 cmc? Quite surprised to see effective creature card in alliances.
Sacrifice a land and 1 damage must have not been a huge deal since Terror couldn't target it, Lightning bolt couldn't kill it, and Swords to Plowshares will give the player 4 life back.

Any 3 mana for a colorless 3/4 is considered a privilege. Even Richard Garfield and Jon Finkel have these put into their decks. So why not us?

Just think: A simple misspelling and this could have been "Phyrexian War Beats".

It was actually considered to be playable a long time ago, beeing a 3/4 for 3 mana and such.

The Oracle flavor text and the flavor text on the card don't match.

oracle flavor sounds like a response to the flavor text on the card :P

The land sacrifice is not a big deal. All you need is Harvest Wurm or Groundskeeper.

Major problem for it is repeated bounce. If only it's drawback triggered if it went to the graveyard...

@Zulp: You could actually say there does not even exist such a think as "printed card text",
since Masters Edition sets are all MTGO-exclusive.
But you're right, there's a mix up. While they used Alliances' first version as image,
they used the flavor text of the second version.
