{Misthollow Griffin} is the worst mythic.

I personally believe my copy of {Archangel's Light}. from DKA is worse. 4cmc for 3/3 flyer that is potentially re-castable seems more playable than a high cost semi-unreliable lifegain spell. Both should not have Mythic in its rarity status.

I agree totally (but there is a reason why it's crappy), however, of we were just talking about AVR not just the whole block...

100% The game of Magic is ever changing, but I don't like that there is now a way back from exile. The original way it was written was 'remove it from the game' but now exile is Graveyard 2.

I agree i dont like the return from exile thing but besides that i think this card is rare worthy at the most. I mean. It doesnt fill any other function other than a 3/3 flier that can be cast when exiled for 4cmc.
I cant think of anywhere where this would be useful really.

He is good with {gloom surgeon} and {force of will} or against {path to exile} and other exile cards.

I see where they're coming from though. It's called exile for a reason. There shouldn't be a way to bring back a card that easily. I'm relieved it's the only card like that but it worries me they may start printing more cards with that because one now exists.

It should be rare. However, there may be value in returning a creature from exile, while 4cmc is a lot, it's not back breaking.

We are just players I do not think it is our job to decide what should or should not be allowed within the confines of the game.  Sure we can critique and what not but I think WotC does a good job of providing a yin to every yang.... if you will.  My point is that they design things to be countered.....so if you destroy my creature then I reanimate it or if you take away my life I can gain life or if you mill me then I will reshuffle my GY into my library or if you play too much from your GY then I play {graffdiggers cage} or if you counter my creatures I use {cavern of the souls} and finally if you keep {swords to plowshares} my damn creatures then I will swarm you with {misthollow griffins} :)

cltrn81

White has it too easy with removals like {swords to plowshares} and {path to exile} so I am glad to see this card.....only wish it was a black card :(

Dudecore2012

Yeah, perhaps since its a new ability WotC weighted it too heavily. They also undervalue exile abilities. This could be a good card against {fiend hunter} or {oblivion ring}, as it clearly isn't a target...maybe even redirect to him on purpose?

{swords to plowshares} would result in chain exiling it, it's more a draft mythic with slight utility as a casual card

Dudecore2012

Also, I've seen {archangel's light} work in a modified "Grave Power" intro deck, uses birds for the single white mana and current ramp. It was rediculous, self milling and then turbo life gain

Fenster

Its not our place to decide just our place to judge and have opinions. But my point is: 3/3 flyer that can be cast from exile, what reason does it have to be mythic rare? If its suppose to give sone protection against exile i understand. Its not OP.
But in my opinion, worst mythic out there.

First card to ever with the capability to cast from exile that's why it's mythic.  Nuff said

Oh boy it's yugioh all over again

I see your point! I can understand why its mythic. Still its pretty lousy for a mythic.
That white enchantment keeps the crown though :P
