Fun EDH General. Other than that his original form is probably the best... If only it had been worded to "U, Tap, sacrifice a permanent you control:" instead it could have soo much more potential

He's grat with say a modular deck, add a couple bringer of the white dawns and your returning them(to play), a few disciple of the vaults , also graveyard abilities like anger would work great.

A lot of people underestimate this card. They say the sac'ing a creature or an enchantment is too much. I highly disagree. All you need is despondency, or sleepers guile, a small enchant creature that comes back to your hand when it goes into your graveyard. Also people say that its too much mana, 2WhiteBlueBlack. I also disagree. Put a land that does 2 colors and its taken care of. Plus hes 3/4, which can hurt you bad.

This is a great card,an uncounterable counter. However though I hate it when you have to sac. a creature to use it's abilty.

new ertai is pretty good. a 1 mana sac a creature counterspell would make my day, this is the closest weve gotten so far, so itll do. also happens to be some colors i enjoy....
