And Archive Trap. Even if your opp. sees it coming, you can still just play the trap at 5 mana.

This guy is DOOMED. Bolt magnet, Sac magnet, it would suck to have this ability in real life because it would mean that every existent God would be actively trying to kill you.

Love the flavor. It's a rich old dude who leaves you a fat inheritance.
Now, let's just ignore the fact that he was most likely gruesomely murdered for exactly that reason, that the planeswalker trying to kill you is also a descendant, and that the "inheritance" can be a Corpulent Corpse.

When Noble Benefactor dies, each player may...
Sounds so much better with new wording!!!

Love this card, you can sometimes surprisingly do some damage with it.
But when the hell would the turn order ruling ever come up?
Assuming you have Dragon Mage out on the field you can possibly negate some of the risk of having it die. Also, this guy plus Mimic Vat or Soul Foundry could work for some hug tutor action, or if you're willing to live with a potentially serious drawback for a fairly easy tutor combo and not playing black or just looking for another tutor option.

using Windfall or Wheel of Fortune leads to many good times. the first time your opponents go for their best cards, then you Windfall. the second time your opponents think you are going to get Windfall so they grab junk. the third time they just flip you off.

How does this old geezer defeat Pikemen in combat?

I love how situational this card is even when you play it with Archive Trap or Lobotomy sort of spells. You need to be absolutely sure about the timing. Knowing what you are going to search they could just go for a Counterspell or something else that makes your search and by extension, this card, completely useless.
@sl33tbl1nd With Archive Trap the search order does play a part. If he dies during your turn, you don't know if the opponent is going to search for anything, so you can't know if fetching Archive Trap is actually a good idea.

Mirrorweave this in response to a board wipe. Premium hugs deck material.
