Holy cr.%$ this card is good.
With a little blue stall and control support is is soooo good.
I play with 2 Metathran soldier, 4 soltari guerillas, 1 shifting sliver and the usual suspects, opposition, transmuter, 4 vex, tradewind rider, viachino heretic, demonic hordes, sengir autocrat....
You get one in play, and all of a sudden your opponents' creatures start dying AND you start drawing cards. Eventually you draw another one and start dealing damage directly to the player. Your 1/1 metathran soldier that has been keeping all but the largest fat off the table is suddenly dealing 5 a turn and drawing you 2 cards.
It's Drizzt the assasin all over again.
Free damage and card drawing out of a 2 card combo. It is one of my favorite combos in years. Get one on a guerillas and it is just plain dumb. "deal 7 (5 from the guerillas ability, 2 from the sword's flame) to your (insert green fat of your choice) and I'll draw a card. (oh look... Vex!)
It's so good, it's worth spending a card to make sure it gets through.
Last week, someone tried to block my double sword equipped Flying Scimitar with a blinkmoth nexus, their only flier. I corpse danced (without buyback) a demonic hordes to destroy it and dealt 9 to the player to put him out of the game. I drew 2 more cards to help deal with my remaining opponents.
And I actuallyt had someone ask me which of the 2 swords I prefer..... Light & shadow isn't even in the same league.
Has anyone else had similar experiences?
