![]() ![]() No idea why we need yet another functional reprint of Kami of Ancient Law and rather doubt the cube will ever call upon more than one so really all I am left to choose between this, the Kami and the Unicorn is the picture. Keening Apparition - B cube / C cube depending on art Good for tempo but sadly too situational for a tempo dork and below the bar of power in the cube. Neat little card, right creature types, acceptable power for cost and an easy cost at that. I still prefer Knight of the White Orchid as you tend to get value immediately from the card but for an all round white two drops that cost WW this is looking to be my second favourite. An all round nice card, good cost, good body and a synergic ability. Two mana for two toughness compared to three generally means you will not lose as much tempo when spot removal is used. Cards like Mentor of the Meek are really weak when instantly killed as you likely have been playing around using the card and it is such a large mana investment to play with no benefits upon coming into play. This means you are probably getting value out of this card however with its reasonable costing you are also not too put out when it is just killed on sight. The first strike pushes this card rather over the edge as it is so much harder to block and most of the things that can in the early stages of the game without dying won't be able to finish it off. Making extra bodies is really quite good for white agro decks who often employ global pump effects and have frequently got equipment to hand as well. The deal is pretty acceptable when the little extra is something minor like vigilance or a protection however the little bit extra on this guy is not all that little of a thing. The classic 2/2 with first strike for WW with something extra. Not a card to get overly excited about but one that performs a valuable role better than other options. Elesh is insanely good against weenie decks where it basically kills everything and locks down the game however she is far poorer against control decks using single fat threats where as Mrs Serenity is very good in those situations. I think this Angel will replace Elesh Norn as the best reanimate target that deals with opposing dorks, it has higher power and evasion and doesn't lose much of its power when you have no creatures of your own. Most of the time you will want to get rid of three of their guys in play however periodically you will want to invest in returning your dead dorks to your hand eventually or even just removing pesky things like Genesis from graveyards. While this is a little too costly to see much play outside reanimator style decks I am drawn to this card for its immediate impact on the board combined with its versatility.
