A new Wizard lord is always appreciated around
the casual tables. This one is a bit different
in that you can't just plop it down and then
swing with your now-one-bigger Wizards-- you
actually have to play another Wizard to get some
use out of it. If you already have some counters
on the board, you can use its second ability
immediately, but it's still a bit weak if it
comes down that late, since you likely won't be
drawing and playing that many more Wizards. It's
a cool card and it will get used, but it just
doesn't do enough on its own. |

A neat card, but one that I don't see getting a
lot of play. The fact that the creature itself
costs 3 makes this awfully slow, as you can't
get anything running until turn 4-5 at the
earliest. This guy wants to fit both into an
aggro and a control environment, and he's just
sub-par at both. This might be cute with
something like Summon the School, though.
In limited, this card is solid if you're
drafting wizards. Pumping your guys and drawing
cards are two strong limited strategies.
Constructed - 2.5
Casual - 4 (play it in your Patron Wizard deck)
Limited - 3.5

Where is Plaxcaster Frogling when we need it?
I'm not sure exactly where this +1/+1 counter
sub-theme in Morningtide came from (with no
warning), but it can make a difference in
limited, where your creatures being just a
little bigger or smaller than your opponent
might matter. This wouldn't be the +1/+1 counter
creature I played in constructed; Shadowmage
Infiltrator is also a Wizard, and has a much
bigger and more immediate impact on the game.
Constructed: 1/5
Casual: 3/5 (hope you saved all those Graft
creatures from Dissension)
Limited: 2/5

This card interests me but I will see what
wizard decks can do. Wizards are getting more
synergy and this may allow more of a creature
based deck allowing you to put in some of these
without dedicating cards slots to card draw. Not
a bad splash card in any ravager or graft type
deck.
