In constructed, this is a fairly vanilla
creature. I think it could be
decent enough, but I doubt I'd ever play a deck
with it. Most likely a 3 or
3.5. In Limited I'd be really happy to open
this guy. A nice flier with a
special ability is much better than some of the
other bad rares you can
open. Probably a 4 in Limited. |

A great card for Limited and the Block... too bad
it's rare! A UU2 3/3 Flier with a decent
special ability would have made for a very nice
uncommon. Not a bomb... but certainly a rare
you'd be happy to open in any limited event.

This is one of the 4 "Possessed"
creatures in the set. All of them are
similar, and in my opinion, they are all
good. First of all, a 3/3 Flier for 4 mana
isn't bad to begin with. Add in threshold,
and you have an awful nasty dude who also has fun
slaughtering blue creatures. I must admit, I
question it's usability in constructed. Blue
has never really been about horrendous beatdown,
and Aven is not a beatdown creature. Plus,
there are not that many blue creatures to
slaughter. Maybe good out of a board.
Does kill Finkel, though, which is a plus.
In limited, it's a 3/3 flier for 4. It
doesn't need other abilities, but it does have
it. Basically a must play in blue. Extraordinary
there.
Constructed: 3
Limited: 4.5

The threshold ability
isn't nearly as important on this card as it is on
most. Basically I see it as a 4/4 that's
sometimes a 3/3 flier for FOUR, and it has an
ability which may be of some use sometimes.
FOUR! The price is right. Actually,
for type 2, the price is unbelievably great.
FOUR!

First off Rob hates
blue. Secondly this card is ok if you like blue
cards but I can't see a ready slot for it in blue
constructed decks unless the Waters type decks
return. It could be a solid sideboard in blue on
blue matches but nobody watches those anyway. In
limited it is a solid blue flyer and will see a
lot of play. Constructed rating 2.5 Limited 4.5

Rares
usually either totally rock in Limited or are
puke horrible. Possessed Aven falls into the
better end of this spectrum - 3/3 fliers tend to
rock the house. Also, the fact that with
threshold he becomes basically unkillable by
normal means, AND gets a very nice added ability -
well, this guy becomes a superstar. As for
constructed... *yawn*. Another rare you'll be
happy to win the draft with, yet won't pick in
the rare split afterwards.
