It kinda bugs me having to
review cards that are the fuel for top-tier
combos.Obviously the card is getting played in
the highest tier tournament decks, but that's
because of the combo.What are the card's own merits?
In this case, not too bad.It's a 4/3 flier for five mana.When it dies, you get a few small
creatures back from the graveyard.And if you need those small creatures
more than you need the 4/3 flier, you can have
them now for one extra mana.It's a solid beater with built-in card
advantage.That's good enough for Limited, and in
Constructed, well...
Constructed- 4.5
Casual- 4

Reveillark
The fact that there is a whole deck named after
this card in Standard is almost a sufficient
statement about its quality on its own. The rest
is provided by its versatility and broad
applicability - it can form part of a combo, or
attack for four flying damage, or give your
creatures resilience to removal. From Standard's
Blink decks to Vintage's Hulk Flash and
everywhere in between, Reveillark is certain to
be a mainstay for years to come.
