+18 life is high enough to actually matter. Repetable recursion in any color is pretty good. -2 hand... stings, but overall I'd play this.

Gix should have been printed in New Phyrexia as a Praetor. Would have been awesome to finally see this guy as a legend.

You know, the reason he's not around is because Urza killed him.
That happened to a lot of Phyrexians, actually.

Gix seems like a pretty good vanguard. Some people may hate his -2 cards thing, but his ability will grant card advantage to make up for it. Returning cards from your graveyard to your hand is generally a lot better than drawing cards, because you can return the best creature in your graveyard, as opposed to drawing another redundant land. Also, +18 life is a LOT, easily making up for the drawback by itself.

ew. I thought Gix was an interesting character, but still. Blegh.
