This compares quite favourably with fan-favourite Mirri, Cat Warrior.

Mirri is a 2/3 First Striker with Vigilance for 1GreenGreen.

This is a 3/2 First Striker with Vigilance for 1WhiteRed.

Both are legendary, the CMC is the same, the combined power / toughness is the same, and the specialized cost requires two coloured mana for both, though Mirri is mono-coloured and naturally easier to cast.

The Power / Toughness swap actually improves the creature for aggro and combat (who needs toughness on a first striking vigilante), though making it slightly easier to kill.

In casual constructed (which is where both these cards find a home) the difference may be Pyroclasm or X-spells. There will be times when it dies and Mirri wouldn't, but there will also be times when it wins you the game and Mirri wouldn't.

This leaves the 3rd ability. Mirri has Forestwalk, which is incredibly useful if you find yourself against ramp or other green builds (in particular if... (see all)

I have been trying out a proxy of this card since it was spoiled in my Naya enchantment aura deck , so far she has only been useful when I pull Ajani's Chosen or Sigil of the empty throne...

Dat templating error.

Sounds fun, though. I can't wait to spam Whim of Volrath in casual.

I like the card, but the names...to me it sounds like some kind of hemorrhoid ointment.
Anax, now with Cymede (tm), relieves itching and burning with the first strike...

According to Anax's story, he was not a warrior born but a warrior made. He defeated two of his greatest opponents, his brother and himself, to claim his righteous position as Akros' future king.

3/2 first strike vigilance for 3 mana is sweet.
The rest is just icing on the cake.
