At
it's root, it's a 2/3 flier for 4. Not that
bad. When critters start dying, this thing
gets bigger. With the right combo, this girl
can get big in a hurry. The problem is it's
TOO combolicious, and susceptible to removal.
In constructed, really not viable, especially
since it's t1 only/
In limited, it's
great. Fliers that get bigger will house any
opponent fast in limited if they don't draw their
limited removal fast.

Once again, we enter
the realm of Cards Chris Gerhardt Has Never
Heard Of. This one actually looks kinda
decent. Asmira tends to benefit from your losses.
She's got a relatively low casting cost. She
flies. Fun stuff =). In just for fun constructed,
this could be a nice addition to your table top
deck. In limited, she could definitely rock the
house in a decent GW deck. An early draft pick.
Constructed: 2

An interesting card.
The trigger of creatures going to the graveyard
can be abused, but generally not in these
colors. If you Wrath, then play this, it could
get big. I'm just rambling on and on because
it's an old card, only legal in type 1, and
there are a lot more powerful cards for your
mana there.
In limited, this has
flying, and the ability would just make this
hard to handle after a couple of your creatures
died.
I never played with
this, though, so I really don't know how good
this is. So take this with a grain of salt.

Thursday - Asmira, Holy Avenger
By Legend standards, Asmira was pretty boring.
However, if you are playing some fun group games,
you can take advantage of her ability. With there
being so many token generators available, you can
work your way up to one fat Asmira.
She's playable in limited, for the simple fact
that she has flying and has the potential to get
much larger. I would definitely play it. For the
most part though, this card has little uses in
constructed. The main problem is that for the
same cost you can play Mystic Enforcer.
Constructed: 2

Thursday - Asmira, Holy Avenger
It's a 2/3 flyer for 2GW with a pretty decent
ability. Whenever a creature is put into your
graveyard, it gets a +1/+1 counter at end of turn.
It can be good late game when it has multipe
counters. But otherwise, it's nothing to make a
big fuss of. There's much better flyers to play
over it. It's still a decent creature though.
In Limited, you got yourself a good card.
Something like this in Limited, is hard to take
out. If you can get multiple counters on it,
you'll most likely win.
Contructed: 2.75/5
Limited: 4.0/5 |

Asmira, Holy Avenger
Harking back to Arabian Nights we had the little
black khabal ghoul, and
that guy was much fun (especially to me at the
time, in group games).
Asmira is even better, being a bit bigger to start
and flying. All of these
things make her a shoo-in in limited. In
constructed though, she's in the
colors that rarely kill creatures outright, and
usually don't even let them
go to the graveyard when they do die.

Asmira, Holy Avenger
Um...It's ok, no legends are playable that I've
seen
excludeing very few, as some invasion dragons,
Braids
to name a few. This is only half poo though.
Still
Poo. Twice as good in limited, no longer poo!

4 Mana for a 2/3
Flying creature. Well I would probably pass on
that but what about the ability to grow bigger
(hopefully before the card catches a Bolt). If a
deck can be built to take advantage of the ability
it might be good. Since the ability counts cards
sent to the Graveyard before Asmira comes into
play maybe it would be fun to see it in the
graveyard before casting Living Death or cast
after a similar board clearing spell.
In Constructed this card can be built around but
is probably not the strongest pick for any of the
decks. The fact that the pump ability doesn’t kick
in until end of turn really hampers the card –
Rating 2.50
In Limited, Flyers are good and 2/3 is a decent
size. Plus there are always lots of creatures
running around that will die off – Rating 3.00
