Exalted

: Draw a card, then discard a card.
0/1

Hmm nice limited card for sure especially if your building around exalted.

Obviously not constructed level. Its no bonded fetch that's for sure....

roussos · 01-18-2009, 04:59 PM

I prefer Merfolk Looter.
But still its a good card for limited i guess.
Exalted helps,and you fillter your deck late game.

Zorak · 01-18-2009, 05:00 PM

wow thats... bad.
But i guess it works in limited, so good enough as filler.

Wow that's not really awesome. They are usually 1/1 for 1U, so power gone and 1 more to cast for just the Exalted. Meh, I'm not impressed. His ability also requires mana.

This should have been just a 1/2 without mana requirements IMO.

Monopoman · 01-18-2009, 05:02 PM

I think they are afraid of exalted being too good for some reason this card wouldn't be broken at 2U 1/1 exalted without the pay to draw and discard.

Maybe we are getting some ridiculous exalted card besides the noble hierarch we haven't seen yet. In limited though hes good enough merfolk looter might be better but merfolk looter doesn't pump your attacker.

Seth Dracovitch · 01-18-2009, 05:04 PM

Not my style of card but he's certainly decent enough to see some fun in exalted decks.

xpolosp0rtx · 01-18-2009, 05:07 PM

pretty high pick in limited. this should help give blue a much-needed boost.

brasswire · 01-18-2009, 05:13 PM

Wow. Wayyyyy worse than Merfolk Looter. But meh, at least we have a Looter for Limited.

Wildfire393 · 01-18-2009, 05:14 PM

It should have either been two mana or no activation. 3 mana for a 0/1 looter with an activation is seriously sub-par, Exalted or no.

Shuuk · 01-18-2009, 05:15 PM

You never attack with a looter anyways so it seems fine.

panos:) · 01-18-2009, 05:18 PM

Ohhhh pretty bad...Just me or this set has terrible commons?

person_man · 01-18-2009, 05:18 PM

don't particularly like, but I generally don't play blue in limited. worse than merfolk looter.

Yes, but at least you don't have to pay an extra

to use the merfolk's ability. This card's not going to be played as much as it might have because of that one reason.

Have you looked at ALA block constructed on MTGO? Exalted.dec is cleaning up. Wizards probably saw exalted running away in playtesting and did a mass nerf.
