I guess this guy could
be good if someone comes up with some janky combo
to use it in, but at this point, I don't see it.
In limited, it's pointless. Cool pic, though!!

An interesting
concept. Might be good in a Wizard deck with
Patron Wizard. Still, I think that deck has more
serious concerns, and this would just be
squeezed out for lack of space.
This card also
smells a bit combolicious to me. I don't know
how yet, but it may have some combo aspect to
it. Deck building isn't my strongest suit.
In limited, I don't
know how this effect would be useful.
Constructed: 2.25
(with upside combo potential)
Limited: 1

If your opponent's guy dies, you get to tap down
their team, if yours dies,
you get to untap for their counterswing.
Versatile, but not amazing by any
means, unless you've got a gimmick (like a
creature that keeps coming back).
Even weaker in constructed, as tribal decks
aren't popular enough and just
tapping them down in constructed isn't all that
amazing... again, unless
you've got a gimmick.
constructed 2.5
limited 2.8 |

Faces of the Past has
some very interesting interactions if you can get
the right situation – interesting with Opposition
decks and Mistforms. While this card isn’t easily
abused it has a lot of internal flexibility and a
lot of potential for many different decks.
Constructed – It can
be put to really good use if used creatively –
3.15
Limited – This isn’t
going to be a breakout card in most drafts – 1.50 |

Hmm..A weird cross
between Seedborn Muse and Opposition. FotP's
flexibility allows it to be used for different
strategies and have decks built specifically
around one of it's effects, such as having your
deck built to attack and then untap to block or
destroying one of your opponents creatures
before they get to attack you. The card seems
useful, I'm just not sure where it fits the best
though.
Limited: This block
is all about tribes. Abuse this card well.
Constructed: 3
Limited: 3.5

Constrcuted- Has a decent amount of combo abilitiy
that is unfortunetly tribal. Hard to use here...
maybe elves, but elves never win anything serious.
A combo will one day come out, potential or not,
with this card.
Limited- Here creature types are really random.
Usually a bad card to play.

An interesting card that looks incredible on
paper, but really isn't all
that great once it is put into a play situation.
Faces of the Past is a
card that is tailor made for the Mistform
creatures, hence why it is blue.
The catch, though, is how are you going to break
off this card so that it is
usable to the full extent of its potential. In
both OnBC and Type II,
there's only one way to successfully do this, and
it's not something you
would build a deck around (Oversold Cemetary,
Faces of the Past, Nantuko
Husk, Imagecrafter, some other non-token
creature). It's a tough card to
make work, with a combo to it that takes a lot of
cards to pull off, and
isn't really an efficient combo.
It could work, and if it does crop up in OnBC, I
wouldn't be incredibly
surprised.
In limited, it's a 23 card in a deck that can be
annoying in the right
circumstances.
Constructed - 2.0/5.0 (A card that can be combo'ed
into weird decks, but
hard to make work to its full potential.
Potential, if fulfilled, makes
this card a 3.5.)
Limited - 2.0/5.0 (An afterthought that can be
annoying, but not
spectacular.) |
