Not bad for Limited, otherwise seems a little overcosted.

Could be nice in a combo deck though.

Chronitog Drake · 04-17-2009, 05:17 AM

Wow even more. I think we are going to see a bunch of new stuff today. Nice artwork.

RainbowBrite · 04-17-2009, 05:17 AM

Really needs a bigger body....pretty poor.

Spekter · 04-17-2009, 05:19 AM

Transmute in, transmute out, aggro folds. A reason to play Borderposts. Interesting enough.

Gerrard's Mom · 04-17-2009, 05:19 AM

Yeah not so excited by this one, but it's nice with Master Transmuter.

Planeswalker420 · 04-17-2009, 05:20 AM

Ha ha ha. I love it. First off, the border looks awesome (as seen on Ethercaste Knight). Secondly, the amount of life you can gain off this card in a stalemate Limited game (easy to accomplish playing Esper) is downright hilarious. You'll usually get 6 just for having an Obelish and her, which means that more times than not she's a 4/4 flyer for 8 that gains you six life, and sucks. Still, in Limited that will often do the job. There's virtually no chance of this being Constructed playable.

It might make it into my T4 stack, though. Woot woot!

Nau · 04-17-2009, 05:21 AM

Its body is probably too small for its cost but the amount of life gain you can have with this is massive. A bit disappointing compared to the previous rares but by no means unplayable. Loads of artifact mana generations and the sculptor can get this down turn 5-6, with double digit life gain making up for the damage you took while setting up. Definitely worth testing in my opinion. Especially as a one of that you can search with spinx summoner if you need some massive lifegain vs aggro.

Tinker · 04-17-2009, 05:21 AM

The card has nothing going for it. I don't like it AT ALL. It sucks no matter how you turn it around.

KPDaly16 · 04-17-2009, 05:22 AM

This is quite underwhelming, other than the obvious Transmuter synergy.

Ain Soph Aur · 04-17-2009, 05:23 AM

Could be annoying in multiplayer, à la Congregate, though of course the card type being much less prevalent. Not sure this card was worth defacing the divine concept of an angel by adding etherium to it, but I'm sure enthusiasts will live.

Nevik Ecir · 04-17-2009, 05:26 AM

This, along with some borderposts are definitely going in my Transmuter deck.

Millatog45 · 04-17-2009, 05:28 AM

Boo. 8 mana 4/4 = the suck. This card reminds me of Ancestor's Chosen, but worse. This didn't need to be rare at all.

Naz · 04-17-2009, 05:28 AM

Seems really strong, but reliant on transmuter.

It needs to be rare because it's breakable in Timmy's eyes (and maybe Johnny's too) and it's a big bomby creature. Rare doesn't always mean better.
