If you have this in your deck and you're facing Caw-Blade, you better hope you win the roll.

So after going through some cards to see how they would interact with this beauty, I have a couple questions that might be newbish,but . . .

Doesn't this affect champion? What about evoke? I'm just going by the Lorwyn FAQ, but the exile/sac are both triggered based on the permanent entering the battlefield. No 12/12 for 1, but more possible shenanigans.

This card BREAKS the game. Just when almost all the cards in magic did something when they came in. Now they don't.

You have creatures in your deck? I'm sorry to hear that.

Makes CawBlade worse and DeceiverTwin useless.

@InternetNinjacy
I laughed when I saw your remark. And I totally agree. My Ally deck is now rendered useless. I better carry some Naturalizes around...

i needed one for EDH. I got one in 5 of the 7 New Phyrexia packs I bought. The other cards were Elesh Norn and Caged Sun. FML I'm waiting for m12 to buy packs now.

How is this not above 4? It's a brutal card. You can tune your deck to take advantage of lack-of-ETBs (Phyrexian Dreadnaught), or you can absolutely hose an opponent's strategy (a lot of creatures that provide card advantage do so via beneficial ETBs). And for how much? 2 mana. Of any color.

An absolute hoser or enabler depending on your deck, I'm surprised this isn't closer to the 4.5 mark.

@DrPingas - you're wrong about evoke. Evoke represents two different abilities - one that modifies the cost that you can pay to cast the card, and the other is an ETB that says "when this creature enters the battlefield, if it's evoke cost was paid, sacrifice it". Torpor Orb stops that ETB from occuring, so it doesn't get sacrificed - however, a fair amount of evoke creatures are played for their nice ETBs (Mulldrifter, Shreikmaw etc), and Torpor Orb also stops those, so you're basically just paying for a 'cheap' creature.

@Fissionessence - while not quite good enough against Primeval (it doesn'... (see all)
