Default [CON] Ethersworn Adjudicator (UPDATE)

Alright, using the Compiled Orb of Insight results, as well as the help of others, I've pieced together the final card, a Mythic.

Ethersworn Adjudicator
Artifact Creature - Vedalken Knight (M)

Flying
, : Destroy target Creature or Enchantment.
: Untap Ethersworn Ajudicator.

4/4

Discuss.

Uhm...

Damn.

4/4 for 5 is decent already. Add in THAT ability.. AND untapping?? It being mythic makes me want to cry tho. The only thing keeping from being $30 is that the deck that wants him will probably only want 2.

This is why it would be Mythic...

Nice ability, but I'm wondering how often he'd be able to use it, considering that T2 is currently saturated with amazing removal.

Let's get the Conflux MWS patch.

Good if you can get it online, but I doubt this will happen anywhere outside of limited/casual. The untap feels tacked on, given you'd need 9 mana to use the ability twice (though 6 mana to use it and attack, which is alright I guess).

Limited is obviously good, but it has a large number of answers (as it's an artifact), which will probably stop it from being as bomby as it looks.

I am pretty sure any attempt to remove him will be met with Negate, or made to miss with Master Transmuter.

I don't think he's made to untap and reuse his ability. I think he's meant to use his ability to remove an opponents creature, untap, then attack unblocked.

Really good card. Decent mana cost, decent body, awesome abilities. I'm going to have to get some of these.

Everybody is. But its a Mythic. Good luck getting one. I guess I am just gonna have to hope I get lucky and open one at the prerelease, or in a subsequent draft. No way I am paying the price this guy is likely to hit.

Only 6 mana needed with Tezzeret and his untapping ability

Well, I'd say that it was rather a product of CaptainBlack's hints and collective effort of several people here and here ...

But thanks for summarizing it and therefore putting the final piece of this rumor season into place.

The card is a nice embodiment of what non-walker, non-legend mythic should be.

Sorry. Meant to say in regards to Creature type and P/T. Will change.
