---{Shimian Spectre}---
Okay, so I have a new card crush. I absolutely LOVE this guy! Does anyone else agree with me?

EDIT: I truthfully had never seen this guy before reprints. Makes a perfect replacement for {Abyssal Persecutor} in my MBC.

Except costing 2 life, it costs four!

{Lashwrithe} sounds a little better =]

It's re-useable ultimate discard on wings, in MBC with proper hand disruption and removal, he's a nice little friend for {Phyrexian Obliterator}, Obliterator is a way bigger target, as is {Vampire Nighthawk}, he stays alive way longer! And he has evasion! Throw a {Lashwrithe} his way? Forget it! I love this dude!

He'll fit into my ub discard/mill/control deck!
Him + artful dodge ftw
Maybe a trep blade if im lucky!

I pulled one at the pre-release this weekend and I had to read it three times because I couldn't believe it. I absolutely agree that this card rules face

He's such a left fielder! He's so low right now too!! I wanna play a legit tournament with him!

When I got the future sight discard/suspend intro deck, he was in there. Never really saw a use for him back then. I was so naive. Now I retooled that deck and it is so fun.

He doesn't look very monkey like to me? Where does the Simean part come in?

Alas thats why its not Simean but Shimian.
Would've been badass if it was a winged monkey a la Wizard of oz!

Sure, but what the smut is "Shimian"?

Quackmaster5 · July 10, 2012, 02:41:37 PM

It's a spectre that likes to shimmy!
