I'm sure a lot of people are going to knock this
guy, but I like it. Sure, it's susceptible to
different kill spells. However, if you are
playing a deck focused on the Hellbent mechanic,
this card will help you achieve your goal. Also,
it's a 5 power flier. That's hard to turn down
for such a cheap cost. I would expect this card
to see a solid bit of play.
Sometimes it's hard to pin a card down between
the categories of Johnny, Timmy and Spike. And
sometimes you get a card like Avatar of Discord
that just screams it's designation at you. A
Spike card through and through. It has an
incredibly high power to mana cost ratio. It has
evasion abilities. It has an aggressive mana
cost that can fit into either black or red
decks. It has an ability which combines very
well with the rest of the guild. Nothing like
casting your Avatar of Discord to bring your
Rakdos Pit-Dragon closer to Hellbent fury.
Expect to see this card winning a lot of games
at the prerelease, and in block constructed for
the next few months.
YIKES! You get a 5/3 flyer for only 3
mana! AND, it's Guild mana, so Red or
Black will do, in any combination. So
you have to discard 2 cards from your
hand...who cares?! You get a 5 power
flyer screaming at your opponent's head
early in the game. Almost any opponent
will have a big problem dealing with
this guy, and if they don't, the game
could be over very quickly. Excellent in
any format!

This whole week has been a powerhouse parade.
This guy is a 5/3 flying for 3 mana. Yes, you
have to discard two cards. It's worth it. And
the hybrid mana is the icing on the cake. Just
imagine getting this out on Turn 2 with a Wild
Cantor. What is your opponent going to do?
