How does Grizzly Bears get like 3.5 when this has less than 2.5? I don't get it. This thing's ability can be such a nightmare for your opponent (attacking on the 4th turn with a 5/5 for gosh sakes).

I really like this card for several reasons. It's a got the right casting cost for a 2/2, if it stays in play you got a decent creature, and best of all, you could have your opponent waste a removal spell on it instead of the creatures you actually care about.

Grizzly Bears get a higher rating because they're awesome. This dies to "destoy target non-Bear creature" effects and Black Knight has protection from it. Anyway, perfectly decent creature.

Be sure that two of this guys on table is a pain for your opponents. Good for limited.

When i first saw this card, I thought it was the most terrible thing ever. Then I realised that it's strictly better than Grizzly Bears if they were white, and it's actually killer in limited. A 2-drop that you can dump spare mana into for a 5/5 body is actually a really great option to have.

It's not terrible in BW midrange or ramp either. A solid 3.5/5

Why isn't it in Knights vs Dragons??

Pretty cool card. Baisically a Knight Errant who can buff himself in a W/G deck. I've played him a few times and the self buffing is fairly good. Save you mana and attack with him. It's a tough choice for your opponent knowing they either have to let you get a free 2 damage or knowing if they block you'll pump him up to 5/5 and probably kill their blocker.

Great limited card, and should have replaced White Knight in Knights vs Dragons. The buff would trade for a lot of 5-toughness dragons, and he could theoretically save himself from Thunder Dragon.

Solid card, reinforces the G/W aggro deck.

The flavour is pretty good, referring to the meddling of Bolas, but I question how it fits in with the mechanic at all.

Is the top of his head shaped like a "skyward eye"? Whoa.

And yeah, this would really fit into DD:KvD. I'd keep en eye on the sky, too, if I was dealing with a dragon infestation.

One possible reason that this wasn't in KvD is that these guys are actually working for a dragon-actually the oldest, most powerful, and smartest dragon in the multiverse-although to be fair they don't know it.
