Five mana for a creature that cannot block seems a bit high...but its ability (provided the cost is paid) could buy precious time against a creature deck. Sure, control isn't fazed much, but many new players are drawn to the big creature spells, and this card will stop a deck like that for at least a turn (bouncing, while expensive, is also an option). Worth it in a black/white control deck, which is what Orzhov is best at. 3.5/5

Defensive creature; can't block. Still not the worst card.

If nothing else, I love the art and flavor, especially how this captures the spirit of WhiteBlack. A defender that's unwilling to put it's own neck on the line.
