Seems worse in Enchantress than Sigil, but hot damn does that look sexy for Counter-Top as a way to break through ground stalls. Goyf on Goyf action = you take no damage, so you sit on this for a little while and BAM! Suddenly, Angels, thousands of them!Quote:

Probably good in the mirror as a sideboard card, although the prevalence of Pridemage might make it worse. Still, probably better than Jitte in a deck with a low creature count.
Is there any word on that ritual yet?
This set is getting more and more awesome every day!
Edict on a stick
Too bad it can't be kicked with Vial. At the very least, an interesting removal choice for black-heavy decks.
Good for standard, gives black a way to off the Stag. Also, very nicely costed, since only monoblack can really take advantage of him (BBB is pretty hard for standard manabase even with fetches).
Though for legacy I think Shriekmaw is still better.
One thing that you might have overlooked is that this is a Vampire. With the Vampire Lacerator, Bloodghast, Vampire Nighthawk, and now this guy joining Vampire Nocturnus and Child of Night, we might see some Vampire tribal decks in Legacy. No, those decks probably won't be great, but they may be just viable enough to pop up from time to time.Quote:

"extra turn" as one query returns 0 as well...Quote:

Not quite, I'm keeping my eyes peeled.Quote:

I don't know, When you manage to keep it online, one out of four opponents will probably attack you... otherwise they're all screwed. I think the card's got a bull's eye all over it.
Turbo fog fans rejoice!! Finally a win-con specifically designed for that deck. Plus it almost comboes with Arboria. :tongue:
I'm afraid we won't get our wish target ritual and we get a scarscale ritual like card instead..Quote:
