Arcanis and Niv-Mizzet the Firemind are a perfect team. total of you drawing 4 and your opponent takes 4 damage?

I believe the redone flavor text is to reiterate that he is a pit fighter. His card brought much curiosity amongst my friends and myself, as he did not appear in the novels.

This guy is so cool. He also is just a wizard, no race.

My version of this card was in french. When I looked him up I nearly pooted in ma pants. I mean, I pooted in my pants but nearly squirted it out all over the back of my legs.

Suck it Jace. You cost 9-99 bucks and can be attacked or flat-out nuked by vampire chicks with nice racks. Arcanis is omnipotent. And goes for less than a buck; if that's not card advantage, I don't know what is.

I had the pleasure of finding a foil of this guy in a random pack I bought back in the day. To this day it's still one of my favorite cards I own.

This guy, Mishra and Psychosis Crawler do disgusting things together. And if you can get a Semblance anvil to survive long enough...

He has journeyed where none have been before. Now he returns to your hand to ensure that he doesn't get Flame Slashed.

This guy represents blue quite well. This is why I love onslaught, and blue :)

Who else wants to see Arcanis return as a planeswalker?
I overwhelmingly prefer the flavor text here compared with the 10th-Edition version. Onslaught Arcanis stands out as one of the all-around impressive Magic cards in the game's history. This legend looks, sounds, and plays like a being who fulfilled the classic dream of ascending to nearly divine status.

Arcanis is the man. If you are having trouble getting your prime reanimator target up and running, Arcanis will make sure you have lots of ammunition to keep the opponent busy. This is in my Necrotic Ooze deck, so it keeps on giving unless he gets exiled. Great for any deck with blue and acceleration, obviously. If four (or more) cards a turn doesn't win you the game, then you're doing something wrong. Pemmin's Aura, as with most things, makes this even worse news for your trembling foe. 5/5

Yeah, this guy already achieved Omniscience way before that kid Jace... Arcanis also found a way to Enter the Infinite and came back.
@Icanut: I agree, notice how he is just a "Wizard", not "Human Wizard".
@BongRipper: That would be awesome... also we should hang out since we share 2 hobbies...
