Yet another fantastic game-winning legend from Legends.
No but seriously this card is awful. 6 for a 4/7 legend with nothing but flavor text?

The funny thing is that in fact no one remembers him at all.

Almost all of these Legends legends are so bad, I want to build EDH decks around them for the lulz.

Awful? Bad, yes, but not awful, at least not when compared with the other vanilla legends in Legends.

Well at least he can reap the benefits of Muraganda Petroglyphs. He's the right color, too. Still, that's a lot of bending over backwards just to make this guy not atrocious.
Just because I remember him doesn't mean he is playable.

His artwork has an amazing medieval bas-relief style!

Saw Sir Shandlar at a comic book store. Bought him mint for a buck. I threw Sir Shandlar into my G/W deck just for the fun of it. Actually, he's not all that bad if you can get him out with Elvish Piper. Also Shield of the Oversoul is great on him, as is Armadillo Cloak. Wilt-Leaf Liege also makes him a 6/9. Two and a half stars for nostalgia's sake and some potential given the newer enchantments that have come out since Legends.

You guys seem to be underestimating him, considering he has an entire plane named after him...

this guy has more flavor in him than all the commons put together of each Standard since Lorwyn. :P
granted, commons rarely have much flavor in them, so it's easy to beat a set's worth of commons with a single Rare.
but, now that the Story just doesn't matter anymore, any card that harkens back to when it mattered beats all the cards that are part of just 'settings' without any 'plot'. you know a set whose commons can actually Spar, Match, and Beat most Legends Legendary Creatures?
Time Spiral. So, in fact, since that can sometimes be achieved, it should be shot for every time.
Wizards, right now I don't care abut flavor. But I used to. To start caring about flavor or not is my choice, to continue to keep flavor is interesting is *your* job. Start.....not sucking. -_- Please? :/
This will never be done by printing more cards. You already have all the cards you need to support flavor for 7 more years. You need to WRITE that flavor!
I'm not saying 'stop printing cards'. OBVIOUSLY you're going to keep printing cards. it's what you do. it's who you are. I get that. you need to Write more, and if you HAVE this stuff written PUBLISH IT, DANG IT. >:(
