Just a pretty meh card until the combo pieces show up (if at all). That makes him less than solid btw. Below average for sure at this point. | ||

-Liliana costs 3 mana instead of 4. -Liliana's + ability is straight up better. -Liliana's - ability is probably better, but it's close. +Ral starts with 4 loyalty so he can - two turns in a row. So he's basically a worse Liliana, but in exchange he's blue. He has a +1 that doesn't disrupt control decks, so he can be played in one. Will he see play? Likely, but keep in mind Liliana is not dominating standard right now, and this guy is overall an inferior version. | ||

"Scores will die in the name of peace. This is what you call compromise?" Lol. Gideon mad at the Boros (at least Aurelia). No wonder Wizards made him mono-white in Gatecrash and not WR.  Edit: Random question. Wanna make sure I have this right. Someone suggested on Gatherer that playing Sudden Disappearance on oneself would combo well with Gideon, Champ of Justice. But... Gideon would be exiled and couldn't trigger his ultimate until the end step when everything came back, right? Plus, one can only activate loyalty abilities during main phases, correct? | ||

None of the creatures really matter as much since Devour Flesh and Azorious Charm are doing a good job covering all the bases. | ||

Yes please). IMO I think this is a pretty good sideboard card, but I don't like how they tacked on "each player' rather than just "target player". The spell only hits a very minor subset of cards; why tack on the extra downside of hitting both players? Its like devour flesh: 1B for sac upside +life downside (or vice versa) This card is : 1W for sac upside Only multicolored downside Hits both players downside I can see it doing good work against detention spheres, but I think its usage will vary so much (from sacing a chump to nuking a planeswalker) that it will be quite unreliable. It's also completely dead against mono-colored decks (which arent really in standard) | ||

I think it might be semi-relevant due to it being a removal spell in a color that normally doesn't have removal via sacrifice (that's a black thing, not white). It gives decks with white in the manabase another spell to kill D-Sphere, Olivia, etc. | ||

Also Spell Snare is a card in Modern (and Dispel will be around in most Geist decks in Standard). | ||

Yup, used to think mountains were red in the days of Koth and Kor Firewalker. Lost a lot of games due to this... | ||
