FIIIIIIIIRST!


Highest rated in the game right now
Edit: crap.

I prefer Forced Worship. Nothing wrong with this card though.

Functional.

Served me well in my early days, but you will almost always want Oblivion Ring over this. Love the flavor though 3*

The Flavourtext is absolutely hilarious....And this card has saved me so many times I have lost count. An absolute must in any white deck and adding to its crediablity is its splicing potential.

Combos well with creatures you don't want to attack you.

I am probably a minority here, but I really dont like the art. The funny concept is fine, but for once, I would like to see a truly "pacified" demon, not a greenpeace minotaur.

I love the fact that the first art is still the best, even after over a decade.
Card is good in limited, too.

This is a good card to think about how one rates things.

For me, a rating 0f 5 would be a card that is good in any deck. 4.5, any card that is good in most decks. 4 would be cards that do the job their designed for better then similar cards. 3.5 would be things like Pacifism and Giant Growth. These are cards that are iconic in that everyone is familiar with them but also have not become underpowered today. If you play a pacifism instead of an Arrest, Prison Term, Forced Worship, people generally are fine with that. These aren't cards that have faded from play just because there are better ways to do it out there. They still are acceptable to use in play, and many people still love them nostalgia-wise over newer versions

Is that a minotaur? I thought it was a goblin... Grakk sound goblinish. Then again one of my friends thought it was a zombie

I wasn't lucky enough to get O-rings out of a single pack I've opened since I started playing several months ago, and I didn't really feel like paying for a playset, so I used pacifism instead. It's served me pretty well.

O-ring is, frankly, kind of overpowered.
Pacifism got it just about right. Two mana for universal removal. It doesn't remove the creature, but in some cases (Carnophage/Sangrophage, Moroii), you don't particularly want to.

I wonder if Avacyn will have some pacifism effect built-in, since she likes to bind that which can't be destroyed and all.

Avacyn should have this ability:
Creatures controlled by an opponent with +1/+1 counters can't attack or block.

Or something similar to bind undying creatures.

Edit: Oh well. Avacyn, Angel of Hope is very similar to Akroma, Angel of Wrath: both are gigantic fun cards that don't fit the storyline exactly. MaRo mentioned once in an article he tried to give Akroma an ability that brings her back from the graveyard or otherwise makes her unkillable. I wonder what Design tried to give Avacyn?

now that giant spider isn't going to be in m13 wizzards has started the race for most consecutive appearences in core sets, so far this and gravedigger are tied at seven.

I love this card in draft tournaments. It's easy to get 3-4 of them for a deck and it can lock down things nicely right form the get go. If you can snag a couple O-Rings too, along with a few white weenies, you're already well on your way to victory in most casual drafts. Outside of that, though, I must admit that I use it a fair amount less. It's still a decent card, but there's usually better ones available for really not much more effort in procuring them. Still solid and effective though.
