LAZZOR · 07-03-2008, 11:03 PM

And just in case the image doesn't work...

Light from Within

Enchantment
Chroma-Each creature you control gets +1/+1 for each white mana symbol in its manacost.

10/180

Well friends we now have the epic Kithkin Gandalf card. Kithkin decks just got crazier.

TheBez · 07-03-2008, 11:05 PM

NUTS for Kitkin in block

edit- I re-read it and I thought it read it gave all creatures +x/+x for all mana symbols, so I figured it gave +2/+2 right away still pretty insane though

Zinger314 · 07-03-2008, 11:05 PM

Not really. It's a more expensive glorious anthem in most decks. (And it's above the curve for Kithkin)

I guess if you want a 10/10 oversoul, this would do it.

Desertwalk · 07-03-2008, 11:05 PM

Best card in the set so far. This + the WWW removal, white weenie IS back!

Virus · 07-03-2008, 11:05 PM

Considering most Kithkins have

in their costs, I think they just got a finisher.

EDIT: Omg, it's an enchantment =O I thought it was a sorcery. It's even better now.

Sheed · 07-03-2008, 11:05 PM

Meh. Cool with Lieges and Avatars, but very doubtful that it'll see play in Constructed.

demigodxyz · 07-03-2008, 11:06 PM

It's actually decent. Unfortunately most white creatures only have 1 or 2 white mana symbols in their costs, but on a White demigod, +5 is amazing.

Enslaught · 07-03-2008, 11:06 PM

Absolutely nuts in mono-white weenie, especially in multiples. Whether that deck is good enough to go the distance remains to be seen.

But a great design, for sure.

AxlStrife · 07-03-2008, 11:06 PM

If it hits play in Kithkin, it can slam the midrange decks face-down. Definitely has soem power.

Radical Serbian · 07-03-2008, 11:07 PM

Disguesting. So in mono white its glorious anthem for creatures with 1

in their cost and its better than glorious anthem if they have two or more. Just plain disgusting.

Life Weaver · 07-03-2008, 11:09 PM

I believe this enchantment will see play because although true it costs 1 more then the glorious anthem but it works for creatures with any mana symbol in their cost thats WHITE, so my Divinity of Pride gets a big ol' +5/+5, even a Nightsky Mimic or Voracious Hatchling still get a +1/+1 and that can mean something when your going to use these guys in aggro.

Xyver · 07-03-2008, 11:09 PM

I'll just say.. Windbrisk Heights + Mirrorweave plus This spoiled card....

yeah.. Uhm I'll replace a few random cards for this in a kithkin deck..

Mhmm Casual Will eat this guy up.. Celestial Dawn Anyone? wait that might not work, damn i hate having to read cards..

that's not necesarily a bad thing.

a 4/4 lifelinking knights of meadowgrain will hurt

MTGPhreak · 07-03-2008, 11:12 PM

Unlike Mirrorweave this does not pump tokens. Will not see play.

Nau · 07-03-2008, 11:13 PM

Nice I can see this being the finisher card for any forms of white weenie as most creatures get +2/+2 from it. Midrange decks can benefit from it too, for example {wb}

and

, if those turn out to be playable. It turns the part white HHH, liege and demigod cycles into some serious beatings.

Actually; I think it is even better for midrange than for weenie where the bonus can get to ridiculous territory.
