Barring wither shenanigans,
this works out to a 3/2, and a 2/1, and 4 life,
for three mana. It's a decent price the
first time, but when it persists, you're gaining
a major victory in the attrition war. Not
only that, it works its way into both the green
midrange deck and the white weenie deck.

A very efficient creature for the investment.
The first time you play him, you're getting a
miniature version of the popular Loxodon
Hierarch. However, unlike his bigger
counterpart, when he dies, he comes back! This
is especially good if you can find a way to
repeatedly take the -1/-1 counter from Persist
off so he can keep coming back over and over,
but in and of itself this is a very good and
efficient card because of the card advantage he
provides.
In limited, same deal. If you're green or white,
you play him.
Constructed - 4
Casual - 3
Limited - 3.5

Someone told me that Kitchen Finks is a bad
Loxodon Hierarch and Loxodon Hierarch is a bad
Exalted Angel. That seems a little pessimistic
to me, since the persist ability on the Finks is
good with that cute Enchanted Evening /
Patrician's Scorn deck. Aven Riftwatcher is the
better all-purpose foil to red decks for this
season, but the Finks certainly have their
place, and I suspect that they will be very
widely played both in casual play and in
competitive play come the Alara Standard season.

This card will make it in constructed. It
gains some life and has to be killed twice. If
it had any kind of evasion it would be amazing,
otherwise, it is just a solid guy. Same story
for limited.

Constructed: This card is already being used for
Standard. Gaining life twice with this card, and
it is a 3/2 for 3 mana. Mono white or green
decks can use it with no problem. Great card for
block.
Casual: The name will get all of the casual
players wanting this card for their decks and
collection.
Limited: Another solid creature with life gain
and persist. Not the best, but a extra 4 life
can make the difference either way. Top pick for
white and green, hate drafting it not as high,
but I would probably take it just so nobody else
can.
Overall a great name and a solid card for any
format. We will see if the hype over this card
is any good.
