I can't be the only one who thinks this is the best card in the new set right?

If you don't agree, what do you think it is?

i think it is one of the best, definitely for older formats, but i also like {brimaz, king of oreskos}, although mostly for standard/possibly modern.

I have to say its good. But half the time I'm drawing cards at the end of my opponents turn so I can keep my mana ready for counters

Also with a 1 toughness  easy to get rid of.

Unless you're running things like {Brave the Elements}, {Boros Charm}, and other protective spells/creatures to keep your babies alive.

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

I really like {Eidolon of Countless Battles} and {Hero of Iroas}, although {Revoke Existence} deserves a shoutout as a cool reprint. I'm definitely not a white mage....

I think hero of iroas is pretty dang good, may make auras more powerful

Aspect of hydra + the red enchantment for + X = devotion could be a scary gruul combo.

Liking the board wipes especially the white one also Love the double strike enchant creature
Also definitely need a playset of {Revoke Existence}

I love how pushed white weenie is with this set. This card is great. Along with kitty cat man. Looking like I'll be playing standard weenies again!

I actually agree with the OP but Brimaz is for sure up there. I believe this spirit will be the format definer in a few ways. Now decks that draw extra cards will have to have early answer and be forced to prematurely burn answers leaving them wide open to later threats. {Bident of thassa} isnt scary any more. Also believe that {prophet of kruphix} flashing it in in response to draw could happen way more than it should on a local level.

Glad I have a double playset of {Prophet of Kruphix}. I foresee that price going up a little.

Phoenix X30

Geist of St Cat is pretty nice.

Yes there are ways around everything. I was just stating my opinion. I think this is more of a  {Frontline Medic} or  {Imposing Sovereign} then a game breaker card.
