Archon of Justice

Could this be the beginning of a "high-end creatures who take their enemies with them when they leave" sub-theme in white, following on from Yosei? I certainly hope so - it's flavorful, it's fun, and it can be potentially powerful with recursion effects like Debtors' Knell. Archon of Justice itself may not end up fitting in any constructed decks right now, but effects like this are easy to love and easier to play with.

Constructed: 2/5
Casual: 4/5
Limited: 3/5

Archon of Justice

Constructed: Nice card with a nice ability, but a little to pricey for tournament decks.

Casual: Great card for weird multi-player decks. Might use in my EDH deck. But not to exciting.

Limited: Great card if your sealed allows you to play white. I would splash it for the effect and it fly. Drop draft, but I usually do not draft white, so it would be more of a hate draft.

Overall a good card. Makes your opponent think twice about killing it.

Constructed: 3

Casual: 3

Limited: 4
