Mercenary ability is and was awful, the assassin ability is much worse than Royal assassin's, and the extra P/T is useless as this guy should never attack. Total waste of a rare slot unless you are doing tribal or need extra removal in EDH, and even then there are probably better options.

No, the ability itself is good. The problem is the creatures it's attached to aren't.

I like the other art better.

I agree with pedrolyl. The alternate art from whatever M is is so much better.

@heenaheena Well you see, when a necromancer and a corpse love each other very very much...

Versatile Card.
@jsttu Please do a search with the advanced options to see all the cards with with 1 power this card could block on the first turn for you. Also, please do a search for all the cards that can deal 1 damage to a creature. A prodigal wizard holds a Royal assassin at bay, but not this guy. As others have stated, the mercenary search ability is fantastic, it's the support that is bad. If I'm going to grade a card/ability of a card, I go off it's potential. Unfortunately, one 4 star card (which is what I gave it) doesn't make a good deck when the rest of the cards you'd have to place with it are 1 and 2 star cards. Instead it collects dust until some 3-5 star cards are around to supplement. That's the difference between individual card strength and deck strength.
I'm not saying your comment was outlandish, but it was overly eccentric.

This card is not that good, but it has its uses.

How come no one has mentioned that due to her art she's practically lady deathstrike from x-men ???
The vorthos inside me is screaming "x-men deck here I come!"
On a serious note, not a bad card. It's a shame that most of the mercenaries are lacking compared to rebels...
