Not only is it a good card, but it continues the legacy of depicting someone slaying a dragon.

Fifth edition to Journey into Nyx and even the theme deck! The art remains true to its origins, that's kind of amazing to me.

According to Vanquish the Foul, scry cost 4 and a downgrade from Instant to Sorcery.?!

It's back and with absolutely beautiful art! I mean seriously, that has to be some of the best art I've ever seen on a Magic card.

Man, Vanquish the Foul aside, even stuff like Smite the Monstrous said this effect is worth more than two mana. Though, it did get a bump in rarity since Alliances, this is still a good card.

glad to see this again. we've seen too many bad wannabes in recent sets.

What an absolute welcome reprint!
As an aggro player, I do love having ways to eliminate big threats.
This card gives me the option to do that at instant speed on white (pacifism and others are enchantments).

Oh, and this doesn't cost as much as my house (i.e. Path to Exile)

This spell always struck me as monstrously unfair (pun intended). But at least limited finally got some decent removal after 2 sets of this similar effect costing 5 or more mana.

As good as this is, white in T2 still has problems dealing with stormbreath dragon :/

It's pretty silly to expect a white removal spell to directly answer Stormbreath Dragon or Blood Baron. White has Celestial Flare and Elspeth, Sun's Champion to indirectly answer those anyway.

This is an awesome reprint from the days when flavor trumped symmetry and good high-power white creatures simply did not exist. The card itself is a beautiful example: balanced but powerful, then and almost 20 years later.

Alas, White gets another sideboarding great! A must-have against R/G Monsters, although it has the inability to deal with threats such as Stormbreath Dragon and Xenagos, God of Revels. Also, Modern! :)

I miss the 7th edition art, with the very awkward dragon head.

Gonna need some berserker armor to fight that diamond dragon man.
