And the trend continues. This card is bad as
well. White has better cards that stay in play
that you can use. Sure, it might take out an
attacker, but why bother. There are other spells
that can do that more efficiently. I guess it
would be nice if you had a way to repeatedly
bounce it, but that makes it a bit unfit for
constructed play.

- This card seems okay. But it's really just
not. It's the kind of card that your opponent
can easily play around, and that's a bad thing.
It has the potential to hold off a big attacker,
but it's just going to go to waste most of the
time. On the other hand, if you happen to draft
a gargoyle that will let it attack, there's no
reason not to play it. Don't count on that
happening very often though. This card is no
Wall of Swords or Sunweb, that's for sure.
Still, it's a clever idea.
A big 5/5 Flyer that can't attack, and can only
block once. =/ It would be much better with
Rolling Stones, though. =) In limited, a
sideboard possibility against certain problem
builds. Not really for casual unless you're
going to make an attacking wall deck.
Constructed - 2
Casual - 2.5

Remember Monday's card? Well, this is the other
5/5 for 3 mana. And this one could actually
participate in combat.....once. It basically
says, destroy target creature that your opponent
chooses to attack into it, since that's what's
gonna happen: your opponent will get tired of
it, attack with creatures he can afford to lose,
and you'll get to pick one and kill it. Then
this dies. But in the meantime, it does dissuade
attacks fairly well. I don't particularly want
to hide behind it, especially when Ghostly
Prison costs the same. But I can see where it
would come in handy.
