This is what white gets instead of Dragons.
Do you like Dragons? Do you want to play
them in a white deck? Then you play this.
It's huge, it has flying, and it has a cool
ability that can give you a big life swing.
Heck, I'd play it.

This is a cool card, and would be good in a
control deck with white, but it faces stiff
competition from the much better Twilight
Shepherd. Persist and a powerful ability that is
synergistic with it are better than lifelink for
everyone (especially since, in a control deck,
you probably won't have many guys on the board
to take advantage of it). Also, 7 mana is a LOT,
and certainly disqualifies it from being played
in WW. So, it won't get played in standard.
However, I could see this being a fun new card
for reanimator to play with.
In limited, this is a bomb. If they don't have a
kill spell for it, you'll probably win the game.

I could see this being a tier 2 finisher in
control decks - it wins in four attacks and
keeps your life total well out of burn range.
Seven toughness is no joke either. It's also a
genuine limited bomb. At my Shadowmoor
pre-release, someone had a deck with this card
and Mirrorweave. He ended one game on 78 life.

Yet another in the line of great, but too
expensive creatures. The fact it only gives
your guys lifelink is solid. The 5/7 stats on
flying is real solid. The 7 CC is not so
solid. However, reanimate this guy early. You
have a game. I would not be surprised to see
this guy show up in reanimator decks if the hate
ever subsides for that kind of deck. You can't
get much better in limited.

TGIF, Eventide is here!!!
Constructed: To expensive for Standard.
Block it could work but then again the mana cost
is high.
Casual: Great card to have in
multi-player. Slowly build your army and the
BAM! Drop the little birdie into play and start
swinging and start the life gain.
Limited: Good solid creature for 7
mana. It's toughness will make it a great
blocker even against wither. Unless they have a
creature with deathtouch or a direct way of
killing it, it usually means game over. The
lifelink ablitiy puts the icing on the cake.
Overall a okay card. This one player keep getting
it out of packs, so he has like 5 or 6 of them
it anyone would like to trade....
