Once this card was feared, actually restricted...now it's a joke of a card...give me Platinum Angel instead...

Though it'll never replace Plat in my book, it's still not bad. Diplomatic Immunity helps, though.

I can see it was alright for the time... I mean, 1 toughness is not really much. Just distroy it and then distory your opponent. You would have to have combos to stop it being killed or removed, which I think would take too much time. Meh, not bad.

well it is red, so that is neat. four mana is not too bad considering the ability. the fact that it is a creature makes it a hit or miss.
you know though, it would be not that bad for a land destruction deck. ( if you can afford to even get your hands on any)

Time has not been kind to Ali - I guess he's victim to the early design philosophy that creatures' costs should be weighted more towards the abilities than the body. However calling him a 'joke of a card' is unfair. He's hardly an unplayable whelp like Wood Elemental or Mold Demon.

But look - he comes with a free hybrid colour mox! It's the shape of the Mox Jet, but the colour of the Mox Emerald!
LMAO @ THE NOT TOO GOOD COMMENTS. Yea i guess 1 toughness would matter if they had some way of hitting it with 1 damage. Your not swinging with it. how hard is it to drop lightning greives on T2??? now hes only valnerablue to board wipes. Shield of Kaldra is fancy but works, but theres TONS of other ways to make him indestructable. BUT SO AND SO CARD IS BETER..... WHY NOT JUST PLAY SO AND SO CARD. why not just shut up and go drown on your own saliva, hows that sound?

Doesn't stop loss of life. Didn't then, doesn't now. Black owns Ali from Cairo.

Back in the day of casual games, this guy was considered rather cool. Of course, back than there were not as many ways to kill creatures or - most likely - people tended not to play them since everyone was more focused on summoning their own huge creatures. As it is, this poor fella isn't terribly useful today, though he gets a few points for being strikely out of flavor for red.

I've got a question. What happens when you have an Ali from Cairo and a Sylvan Library in play? Can you draw 3 cards each turn and take the damage of 8 every single time even if you're down to one?

Prince Ali! Mighty is he! Ali Ababwa Strong as ten regular men, definitely! He faced the galloping hordes A hundred bad guys with swords Who sent those goons to their lords? Why, Prince Ali
He's got seventy-five golden camels Purple peackocks He's got fifty-three When it comes to exotic-type mammals Has he got a zoo? I'm telling you, it's a world-class menagerie!
