The more I think about this creature, the more I
like it. Historically, the wrinkle in powerful
disruptive effects like Armageddon and Blood
Moon was that they didn't do anything to put
pressure on the opponent, other than disabling
his lands; you often had to mulligan until you
found them along with a cheaper creature and
hope it didn't get killed. Creatures like
Desolation Angel and Magus of the Moon addressed
this problem, while being nominally easier to
remove (though it can be difficult when you
don't have any lands). Realm Razer is a solid
follower in that tradition, although it lacks
the Angel's evasion and the Magus' cheap price
tag - there's nothing worse than setting up your
awesome Armageddon plus 4/2 Beast turn only to
have it pre-empted by a Chameleon Colossus.
Fortunately, the Razer is in the same colors as
Ajani Vengeant, Sarkhan Vol, and Elspeth, any of
which complement it nicely.

A bit to expensive for what it does. The 2
toughness is a real draw back.
Casual:
This could be a real fun card to play around for
multi-player.
Limited:
I do not like for my lands to be gone to. Not a
high pick on my list.
Overall not a bad card just takes a little work
to make a deck for fun to use him in.
Good luck.

Nice card. It's becoming a key piece in fighting
the mana hungry QnT decks. It also functions as
a good finisher in aggro decks. The only problem
is that you generally have to be ahead in the
creature race otherwise your opponent wil just
keep beating you done. Then again if your in
Naya colors then you should have the biggest
creatures anyway.
In limited drop this with bigger creatures on
the board and thats basically game right there.
Keeping that in mind, if you have a razer in
your deck it might be a good idea to sandbag
your lands towards the late game so you can
still lay them down after you drop the razer
In casual, if your in multiplayer everyone will
gang up on you when you drop this so watch out
