As most cards: playable in limited, unplayable in constructed.

7 is quite a bit, but you get what you pay for. 8/8 Vigilance will be a pain for practically anyone to deal with, though it's lack of Reach makes me a bit sad. I mean, it's a walking building. Surely it could slap down a bird or two.

So, do they evacuate the sanctuary first? Or are people just along for the ride?

They have 8/8 GW vigilance Elemental tokens in the set. This looks like it should have just made one.

My guess is it started off as a token-producing spell, a la Call of the Conclave, and proved too powerful with populate in playtesting.

Pretty decent, though it badly needs trample. Still an 8/8 with vigilance for 7 is pretty good.

Usually more efficient cards like this are rare. This one's uncommon.

Unburial Rites 8/8 vigilance on the cheap! "possibly sacriligious"

I played the crap out of RTR and I have at least 6 of these, and I use them as tokens for Grove of the Guardian. Who wouldn't?
