Lets you swing for 2 on turn 2 with your Memnite, I guess. lol
I dunno how I feel about this. That's a lot of drawbacks...I'll save judgement until I try it in a deck.

Good mechanic, but it comes into play tapped and provide only colorless mana, so not a 4-of even in an exalted deck. After all, you need enough momentum in the beginning that the drawback could instead hinder you.

Makes me angry that Nefarox's deck in DotP 2013 got to use nonbasics, but no other really did.

Obnoxious uncounterable tech for Inkmoth Nexus.
Thank goodness infect is gone in October.

If you're playing exalted anything, this card is practically a no brainer.

This is a nice card, but it's no auto-include. If you're running a casual or modern Bant exalted deck, running 3 colors means you need to be careful on the number of colorless lands your deck has. For standard's White/Black exalted, that problem isn't as big, although you also lose Green which is great for fixing mana. Basically, I love the card, but I don't think my decks want to risk running it.

A new standard for Exalted decks? Coming into play tapped and not producing or mana hurts it, but an Exalted boost from a non-creature source is definitely a Good Thing.

I know this card has had something of a lukewarm reception among players, but after playing with it in Limited I am definitely interested in drafting it highly. It reminds me of the lands that can be cycled late-game for precious spells, except this costs nothing and promises to be an immediate threat--big or small depending on your current board position of course. I'd hate to get two of these in an opening hand, but I could be very happy with one.

The best thing about this card? You don't have to use it in an exalted deck.
Basically any monocolored aggro deck can benefit from this card, assuming you don't run very color-strict cards.

The problem is that you're sacrificing both tempo and color-fixing for a small pump.
