Type your comment here.Asha's Favor is the same cost and is somewhat more wonderful, but sure, this is OK I guess. I mean, Rancor plus Lance gives you almost the same thing for GW. I would reccomend using a Bonesplitter instead, or just using creatures that have first strike to begin with, such as Tundra Wolves if that's what you're interested in.

playing this card in limited has won me at least 4 games. throwing it on any creature with power 2 or greater will take out most of the field in this block.

The problem with Rancor + lance is its a card disadvantage. The problem with Asha's Favor is it doesn't add to the creature's power. They both have their places.

Enchant to creatures with Deathtouch, particularily basilisks.

Also compare to Claws of Valakut.

For mono-red I'd prefer Claws of Valakut, but in multi-color decks I'd take this anytime. Especially good when you throw it on a Deathtoucher.

Man, Sedris sounds like such a troll in all of his flavor text.

Or don't, if you'd rather not sigh heavily.

I remember playing during the Shards of Alara draft and getting two or three of these along with two or three Goblin Deathraiders. Turn 3: 6/1, trample, first strike in a set with fairly limited removal.
