Not a bad legend, no Darigaaz, the Igniter but resistance to most black removal and Pacifism effects paired with vigilance give him a sturdy presence.

Hmm. Originally he couldn't be the target of just enchant creature spells. But now he can't be the target of auras. Meaning he once could be the target of Confiscate but now can't.

One of the decent early legends, able to dodge much of the removal that was around and was somewhat reasonably costed...although the art doesn't look like a 6/5 creature to me...

Like flying, vigilance in the early years belonged to all colors.

I think it's pretty good too. Definitely solid.

Solid for it's age, they need to make another set of Legends, ones with bada$$ names like this guy.

Flying does belong to all colors but in different degrees. In the early days vigilance actually did belong to red.

If I were to go back and change Legends to be more...legendary, I'd give this guy Protection from White instead of can't be aura'd. A) Rancor :) B) Black removal should be difficult to beat. Most guys SHOULD die to Doom Blade. The ones that don't are then made VERY much more awesome. Protection from Black in Magic should be, like, Protection from Nazgul in Lord of the Rings. Rare, and epic.

One of the best legends. From Legends.

He's surprisingly useful. Back when he was printed, he was immune to most of the common removal; too big for Lightning Bolt, wrong color for Terror, immune to Control Magic and Royal Assassin...

Aww. That flavor text is almost a haiku.
