This is an uncommon? Three mana to cast? For shame, WotC.

It's a tweaked, colorshited Phyrexian Boon. It had to cost the same as the original.

A little bit overpriced, but it's got great flexibility.

Holy Strength is okay. Weakness is worse. One or the other for 3x the cost of one? Pretty bad.

Why doesn't this card have the special Planar Chaos border?

@TDL - Because it's based off of Phyrexian Boon but not a direct shift. The numbers are switch, much like the difference between Holy Strength and Unholy Strength. Therefore, it's technically an "original" card and doesn't deserve the plane-shifted border.

Totally misread the title. I thought the card was "Serra's boob"

Quite possibly the most over-priced card of all time. "Why doesn't this have the special Planar Chaos border?" I'll tell you why: that special border was reserved for functionally identical versions in alternate colors - if you look closely, you'll notice Serra's Boob is a gimped alternative of the original rather than being functionally identical equivalent for white. -2/-1 so you can have +1/+2 ? So the boob is a weaker offensive removal tool for the added benefit of being a crappier positive buff aura? Cool story bro. The original wasn't even amazing, c'mon...
