BRWGU: 4/4 Flying Trample First strike. That's pretty bad, but at least you can play him before you have all the land types and just have a weakened version for a while.
If you have all the land types: Maelstrom Archangel.
Also 5 mana: Baneslayer Angel

Hmm, both very recent cards, what a surprise. I guess this was probably good before the powercreep.

Probably wasn't good before they made creatures good. See: Cromat, Sliver Queen.

Yeah, this guy has prismatic omen written all over it. Don't like it, since you will need a 5 colour deck to make it effective.

The only thing I'm disappointed about is no flavor text. Too much rule text I know, but this guy screams write something awesome about me

As a rare, it would have been nice for this to cost 4 or be a 3/3.

Wow, reeeeaaaaally cool concept, although I wish it goat bigger powerups and started as a 3/3...+0/+3 for plains, shadow/flying for islands, +3/+0 for swamps, double strike for mountains, and trample for forests

I am outraged this was not in the From the Vault Dragons OR the Dragons vs Knights duel decks. I mean, they could have had it in Fifth Dawn or even Scars (in reference to the five color theme, and is an artifact). But then there's his underpowered-ness.

no reason to go out and make a five color deck, but if you have one, you might as well slap this in it.

The concept is cool, the art is cool, and the flavor is cool, but the card itself is a C**p rare from Invasion days. First time I cracked one open I said "Cool" the seventh time I groaned "Not again...".

I can't believe this wasn't in From the Vault!

The power level was a lot lower in invasion than it is now, especially for creatures... but come on, you assemble domain and all you get is a very slightly better air elemental that dies to shatter. Should have at least been 3/3, or have the mountain-granted ability be haste, or something... It's a real shame because it's a robot dragon killing machine named Tek.

so a 4/4 flying first strike trample "for" WhiteBlueBlackRedGreen
A decent beater back in the day, but its no baneslayer angel.
In my personal opinion, should have been a 4/4 by default and switch the Red to haste, White to first strike, and Black to swampwalk, with 4/4 body.

All these keywords existed back then, and you really have to dedicate a deck to hit domain. But my suggestion might be too powerful for invasion. Still dies to shatter!

A card whose coolness factor far outweighs its power, by far. You'd expect the reward of assembling all the land types to be a little greater than the final product... oh well.

This is named Tek because they couldn't fit any other suitable name on the card with all that text.

Domain isn't actually that difficult with duals & fetches, but the effect still isn't really worth the investment and open Wastelands or Strip Mines would make combat awkward. Trample is rare in conjunction with Flying and First Strike, though.
