I say combine him with Mind's Eye. Each go, for three mana, you can play a pasifism and draw a card. Personally I think this card is quite nice. Nearly a must-have for white/blue lockdown decks. Sure letting your opponent draw a card isn't the best, but it's a small price to pay for this guy's effect.

to the person before me....it doesnt kill anything....the creature cant attack or block (pacifism) ....and allowing the other person to draw a card isnt that bad, and yes i know drawing cards is an advantage....but forcing them to draw cards every turn? possibly forcing them to discard? and in a mill deck? idk but id like this guy in my deck

This card is definetly awesome. I use this card in an esper beatdown deck and it really helps with getting creatures out of the way. you can dominate the entire field with just one card.

Yeah but in standard 2.0 you don't have to worry about that, plus in a blue and white deck you have boomerangs, cancels, paths to exile, bliv rings, condemn etc. gwafa is like a pacifism you can play every turn for the same mana cost. I suppose it really depends on the deck you are playing against, but i think hes definitely tournament material. Plus he's cheap lol

I run this in my white/blue control deck. He has his uses but he is usually killed pretty quick. He's saved me a few times so he isn't a bad card he's just hard to keep in play once people realize what he can do.

This would be great in an aggressive deck that has to get a few creatures out of the way quickly. however, how many beatdown decks include blue and white? ...none. letting your opponent draw a card for each creature you kill isn't good, and this barely even makes a difference against lots of tribal decks (it doesn't sotp activated or triggered abilities, so imperious perfect keeps on pumping out 2/2 tokens)
