He was good back in the day, but now I'd rather run with Battletide Alchemist.

A Cleric Wizard? He'll have to burn himself at the stake!

You may be worth 5White if I deem your abilities worthy.

(HINT: They aren't.)

(He's still a cool card, though.)

I'm going to have to be That Guy and say that he isn't so bad. I play in a very burn heavy meta, and I think paying 6 for a creature that once denied a Bonfire for 8 is powerful indeed. If he weren't 6 CMC, he'd be a staple for my Cleric deck. But unless we get some ridiculous land for Tribes, he will sit in the sidelines until I am up against a Bonfire deck.
