Newbie not getting Phantasmal

[russellalbert]

Hi,

I am a complete newbie, I have Phantasmal Bear but I don't understand what is good about him. Can anyone explain what is good about Phantasmal?

Thanks

The good thing is that he is a 2/2 for 1 mana.

He's especially good if you have Lord of The Unreal. Illusion decks ftw.

The way phantasmal works is that you get decently powerful creatures with a cheap mana cost, with the the tradeoff that if it's targeted, you gotta sac it.

And it's not that bad because 90% of the time they'd be saccing it anyway because most spells that target would be killing it and it baits them outta an answer.

I agree, they are very underestimated, until you face a {Gideon's Lawkeeper}.  Man was that annoying.
