This will see play in modern.

Annoyingly good. I always want to take it out of my deck because I can fit something else there, but then I imagine the power of each effect. It's just too good to not use - even in an EDH deck. It snipes planeswalkers, burns players to finish them off, gives me double sword of fire and ice triggers, sneaks in a massive hit with Tajic when he has battalion, and makes all of my really mean cards even more mean (devastation for example).
5/5

Very interestingly, once thought to be extremely overpowered, this card is strong but does not dominate Standard by any means. Lifegain is much stronger than before, with Thragtusk, Sphinx's Revelation and Huntmaster of the Fells being tournament staples. Once upon a time almost the only route to control was Wraths and counterspells, and this kind of mass indestructibility effect wasn't nearly readily available. Nowadays there are tons of things for an aggro player to worry about other than Supreme Verdict, going all the way from Pillar of Flame to Restoration Angel. It's not like the old days anymore. Back in those days, a 4 damage spell for 2 would've been a godsend, when the only aggro strategy was to be as fast as possible. Today this strategy is still available (Naya Blitz), and indeed as an old-timer I respect the strength in this kind... (see all)

2 instant speed.
Alright, 4 damage to someone, cool...
Woah it can make all your permanents indestructable...?
AND it can give something double strike??
WHY ARE YOU ON CRACK BOROS CHARM? STOP IT RIGHT NOW YOUNG MAN!
Are you happy?
ARE YOU?

The problem I have with this card is that compared to the other charms, which all seemed to have two one-mana effects and one not-quite-two-mana effect, this one pretty solidly has three two-mana effects. Instant-speed four damage to the face or your Jace is two mana. Instant-speed double strike, as seen with Double Cleave, is two mana. Indestructible for everything... hasn't really been seen on anything other than Avacyn, but since it's effectively a Counterspell for Supreme Verdict, let's call it two mana. Compare this to Simic Charm, which has Unsummon, Giant Growth, and hexproof for everything, which I'll assume to be about equal to indestructible since hexproof can dodge Tragic Slip but not Verdict. And yet, with its two one-mana effects and one two-ma... (see all)

I got to cast this in response to an opponent's Obliterate tonight in EDH.
I was soooooooooo happy.
Everyone else was soooooooooo sad.
Most of all, the look on face of the guy who cast Obliterate was priceless. High-fives ensued.

I plan on using it in my Zoltan Boros Boros deck.
He's done a surprising number of Red and/or White cards.

This charm is solidly beautiful. Wonderful card. I must get a set. So much cheaper than Lightning Bolt too in most shops. Not to mention, this would be a major contender in my table games, to be imprinted to an Isochron Scepter

I bought three Gatecrash booster boxes and only opened ONE of these...I swear Wizards has been trolling me with this card.
