Even thought I only used it once I'm loving this card already. I was getting tired of getting condemed. Wish this card was printed earlier while everyone was trying to battle off Stonefoge Mystic. I wish it said lands also though.For standard its mostly like a SB card for me. Still waiting to see what new decks are will come out of M12. For legacy I can see this being put in Death and Taxes. Seems like it would be really effective vs mirror. What do you think about him?

He's a 2/2 that orim's chant your opponent as soon as you start your turn. If they are combo they'll just win on their turn like most decks do. I do guess you hose solidarity tho. If somebody played him against me I would be happy as it means they are heavily invested in white. I can take 2 dmg a turn easier than goyf damage.

Card seems fine but is probably more hype than anything else. Remember Leonin Arbiter? Besides counterspells it doesn't really stop much else, you'll just play it on your turn. Turning my lightning bolt into a chain lightning isnt a big deal

don't think this is a deck any longer, hence the exploded cost of Candelabra which has since fallen (thx misstep).

Dosan was never very expensive.

Dosan doesn't hit activated abilities and is in the wrong color. if there was a deck who would utilize such an effect well it would be white.City of solitude is not that expensive and i probably like that one more. guess it depends on how much you plan on doing during your opponents turn. probably more than me. bad example The bit about only during your turn hurts a lot in comparison to cards who's names i cannot remmebver (null rod and such?) so the best it can do is be Sb in standard.
So they can't choking fumes and condemn your creature, alright. it does make them have to remove your creature on thier turn before you attack instead of hanging onto mana.
Guess Exarch Twins slows down

As usual no one really knows and is discrediting it's value. It'll probably be $9 - $11 in the next couple of months when it's value is appreciated be it T2, Legacy or Extended. I'd pick up at least a play set as an easy investment. At the least, you'll just make your money back as it's always going to be $3 - $5 card with an ability and cost like that.

I love this card. I think any card that has a wide ranging ability like this is amazing. They might not be super valuable, but they are still great. It goes with cards like stoneforge mystic, and Linvala. The better cards your opponent gets, the better this card becomes. Stoneforge was the better equipment that gets printed, the better it gets. It's also why white and green titans are my favs.
