Played on an opponent's upkeep, after they untap,
it's effectively a 4/4 flier with haste plus a
Time Walk on your opponent. All for four mana
and a faerie. You need good incentive NOT to
play this if you're in Faeries
Constructed- 4.5
Limited- 4

Thursday - Mistbind Clique
A neat card for faerie decks, as you get a
quasi-Mana Short plus a win condition all for
four mana. It does require you to Champion
something, but there's good options for that in
the deck (try Pestermite). I don't think this
deck is better than the main U/B deck currently
in the environment, however. Still, this is a
solid card, and you have almost no reason not to
play it if you're using a Faerie deck.
The same goes for limited, although the body is
the better part of the deal here.
Constructed - 3.5
Casual - 4

I missed Mana Short very much when it left
Standard (my favorite format!), but Mistbind
Clique might be the next best thing, at least
for Faerie decks. Even so, you can very nearly
fit it in with four Faerie Conclave and four
Mutavault. It doesn't usually fit in the same
maindeck as Sower of Temptation as they attack
different kinds of opponents, but they are both
very good at what they do.
Constructed: 4/5 (for decks with lots of
Faeries)

A 4/4 for 4 mana and a essentially a free turn
is pretty good, except that it has Champion. The
fact that is taps all of the opponent's lands is
a further incentive for the opponent to kill it
before their mana is tapped out whereas it might
have been left alone had it not tapped any
lands. The Flash with Champion can save a
creature though, but then its land tapping
ability is less relevant. Not bad, but not
extremely good.
In casual, it's a 4/4 flier that gives you a
free turn, has Flash for blocks which means it's
all around good.

Thursday's card
is Mistbind Clique. You get a 4/4 for 4 mana
with Flash and Flying and with Champion, you can
save a faerie in play from a burn spell or kill
card. When it comes into play, you get a Mana
Short effect so this is really good to cast at
the end of the opponent's turn. For targets to
Champion, I'd say Pestermite, Sower of
Temptations perhaps, or any Faerie ypui want to
save from certain death and as a bonus shut down
your opponent's turn. Unlike Wednesday's card,
this is a Faerie control card as you'll need a
Faerie in play to champion.
