WotC Preview - Rhys the Redeemed

[Rba]

Rhys the Redeemed :gw:
Legendary Creature - Elf Warrior
Rare

:2::gw: :t:: Put a 1/1 Green and White Elf Warrior token into play

:4::gw::gw: :t:: For each creature token you control, put a token into play thats a copy of that creature.

1/1


I deem it too fragile, however thats my opinion, it might see play in a casual token deck, however im not sure if this is a great card for standard.

Edit: its 6 not 5, thanks for pointing that out.

A 1/1 for 1cc legendary seems interesting. It can pull the same 4th turn trick with obsidian battle axe that imperious perfect can. Dunno if it's great, but I like it - not just for the axe trick, which is just a footnote, but for the flavour, legend status, and hyrbid-ness.

the second ability is actually :4::gw::gw:

[SolonWave]

He's good but dont play him on turn one wait a while store up some mana and protect him with Imperious Perfects and Elvish Champions and Immaculate Magistrates then unload his abilities!!!

he should find a home in elf-affinity, but otherwise he looks too slow and almost like a win-more card. he'll certainly be played in limited (although with all the -1/-1 slinging that seems to be coming, maybe not). i like the flavor of the card though.

elf shaman deck could run him for block. you will have tones of beast, wolf , elves to multiply
