This card can actually be really insane.. because if you run it in a white deck you have two major options.. baneslayer angel and felidar sovereign. Even if you give your opponents opposite side creature protection, you are regaining about the same amount of damage most large creatures would do to you, which is 5. Play it opposite baneslayer, or throw in a loxodon warhammer in a deck with some a powerful creature, especially one that does something when it hits opponent, and you got a nice way to make that happen. Plus if the creature has 5 power in the first place your opponent can only last 4 turns after it hits play and your favor of the mighty is on the field. Best used in life gain decks, where you are gaining more than your losing from your opponents protected creature. It also says each creature with highest converted mana cost, but that can technically be only your creatures, if you remove your opponents biggest creatures with path to exile or unmake. For 2 mana that's extremely decent, especially since we also have greater auramancy for 2 mana.

Works well with Ivory Giant or even Deep-Sea Kraken and Greater Gargadon if your running those respective colors. Only weakness then would be field wipe.

the safest that my Scornful Egotist has ever been.

This is a fun card if you know what to combo it with. You could run it in a BUG or BW reanimator.

Have "Favor" on the board, then use Makeshift Mannequin on Empyrial Archangel that's in the grave to get an untargetable creature Pariah on the board, that prevents all damage done to you and dealt to it.

Try this in a Reanimator deck with Platinum Angel, Platinum Emperion, Empyrial Archangell or the new Palisade Giant for being Invincible aggainst damage from colored sources for the two last ones. Also nice targets are Blazing Archon, Stormtide Leviathan, Nicol Bolas, Sheldred Whispering One or any creatures that have an effect when stays in play or needs to be unblockable.

Counts for both Blind-Spot Giant and Giant's Ire since they only check for the giant type, not caring whether it's a creature or not. Of course, this can bite you in the posterior depending on what you're up against but giants do tend to have hefty cmcs so it's not too likely.
