1 for a 1/1 wither with a pretty decent ability, not bad.

Descendant of Basking Rootwalla. Very nice 1 mana drop.

A one drop that can hit for 3 on the 2nd turn. Granted, there are better things to do with your first 2 turns, but this is pretty good for someone on a budget.

Very good in a warrior deck. He's already pretty efficient, but with an Obsidian Battle-Axe in play he can be a pretty strong late-game tool. Drop him in play, put the axe on him, boost him up, and for 3 mana you can send a 5/4 wither into your opponent's face.

You can always get a second creature or something else going on turn two but if your mana is running dry for some reason, the ability can make up for a lot in a pinch.

Useful and cool card.

I was hoping it had double strike since the name seemed to suggest it, sad.

I think having wither is just gravy; he's an elf, and warrior on top of that, in a color rife with things like Imperious Perfect and Bramblewood Paragon.

Good thing they didn't make an infect spin on this hu?

Why does a Shadowmoor elf have a katana? Why does it have two blades? Why doesn't his armor fit?
I think this may be a case of a card changing after the art came in.
At least the card we got out of it was pretty good.

@ trolled, I agree, but looking at the art I guess he uses one sword, just with a twin blade to inflict extra scarry wounds, hence the wither.
