Well, that mana cost is downright prohibitive,
but I'd say you get what you pay for. This
particular demigod goes particularly well with
Martyr of Sands and Honden of Cleansing Fire; as
such, there may not be so much use for her in
the new Standard, but she is sure to be the bane
of plenty of damage-based decks at kitchen
tables around the world for years to come.
Assuming we haven't forgotten about Shadowmoor
block drafting yet, she is also a pretty good
reason to play heavy black and/or white. Flying
creatures are always useful, and an eight-point
life swing every turn is hard for anyone to deal
with.

This is a pretty good finisher for those B/W
deck, and monoblack could attempt to play this
since Korlash will bite the dust very shortly in
Standard. Sadly the deck this goes in is hardly
top tier lowering this guys playability. If this
gets 1 or 2 hits though, it's essentially game
since this is immune to a lot of removal and no
deck can race a life difference of 16 per turn.

Constructed:
Last day of September. Two days before Shards
comes out. This little number is a nice Spirit
Avatar. You have to use Black and/or White to
play it. It is a 4/4 Flyer for 5 mana and has
lifelink. And than it gets bigger when you have
25 or more life. Watch out. Not much can take
this card out by itself.
Casual:
This card is great in any casual setting.
Limited:
This is one of the top bombs in Eventide only
draft. Hog up all of the Unmakes. Just have to
watch out for Snakeform. Sealed deck it is very
playable, but it can be Flame Javelin before it
got bigger.
Overall a interesting card tied in with the
players life total. White always does not, but
Black sucks life from you.
Constructed: 3
Casual: 4

Divinity of Pride gets +4/+4 as long as you have
25 or more life.
Nothing special. Nice beater, no real deck to
call home. The effect is basically in win-more
but nice to have in Limited. People will be
scared of this is multi so don't plan on it or
you living long it you get over 25 life.
