a 3/3 flying for 4 isn't bad, a 4/4 lifelink for 5 is ok (changeling hero), and a 5/5 with flying and lifelink for 6 is solid. The potential to be any of them when you can pay 4, 5, or 6 is pretty cool. Probably the best volver.

Definitely the best of the 5 volvers, beating out Necravolver by a smidge. A good creature in a 5 color deck since it doesn't require multiples of any one color.

Correct me if I'm wrong right now, but wasn't this the first creature that provided a ten-life swing each turn? That makes me think that the six-mana option compares quite favorably to Numot, The Devastator! :) And that's only one of four not-so-bad options..

People are also missing that its a 4 mana 3/3 flier. Also a solid option. A lot of people are saying its a 5 mana 4/4 flying lifelink. For five mana you get a 4/4 lifelinker. If you want flying, you have to pay 6 and it'll be a 5/5.

Red Baneslayer. I think I'll pick up a copy for my Numot EDH to go next to Lightning Angel. Or, I could just get a Baneslayer for 10 bucks and not feel like an idiot. Ah what the hell, I'll just get both.

Interesting that the volvers weren't errata'd to use lifelink. Any method of giving it to this creature would give a nice double-lifelink. Loxodon Warhammer for a 8/5 flying, trample, double-lifelink, anyone?

I think this is probably the best volver. Im not usually a red white blue deck kinda guy but between this, Prophetic Bolt and Lightning Angel, Apocalypse really gave you the tools to do it. Anavolver is still my fav though, not the best I just like it!

So this can be:
- A 2/2 for 2Red (Gray Ogre)
- A 3/3 flying for 2BlueRed (Phantom Monster)
- A 4/4 pseudo-lifelink for 3RedWhite (Changeling Hero)
- A 5/5 flying pseudo-lifelink for 3RedWhiteBlue (doesn't match up to anything, but a 5/5 flying lifelink for 6 would be fair)
Not bad for a creature from 2001!

Red White and Blue, eh? I suppose we can now rename America ‘AmeRaka’, eh? Eh?
