I love the flavor of the card. The name, art,
and ability all make sense and are perfect
together. With that being said, I'm not a huge
fan of the card. Just making a guy unblockable
hasn't been known to do very much in the course
of a game. The reuseable part later in a limited
format game could be nice though.
I've never been a big fan of Dwarven Warriors -
or Crafty Pathmages for you new players. The
number of situations where they are useful are
limited. However, sometimes they shine. This is
one of the few Forecast cards which is probably
equally useful to cast. It's unlikely that
you'll have too many targets for this, although
saving it from being destroyed by removal might
be worth the cost. I could see this being useful
to sneak a Dimir Cutpurse through but in all
honesty, this card just sucks. That's alright
though. Not all guild mechanics can be great all
the way through, Azorius included.
While not something you expect to see in
constructed environments, at least they costed
it right. But I kind of feel its Forecast
ability is a bit sucky since you have to play it
only during your upkeep. Bleh, leave this thing
in the pack.

A fine example of Azorius flavor, but I’d say it
belongs in a Simic deck. Why? Because either
hardcast or Forecast, it only checks the
creature’s power when the ability resolves.
There’ll be plenty of time to increase the
creature’s power with cards like Giant Growth or
Simic Guildmage’s first ability. As such, this
makes a great addition to any Limited deck that
can play it, since those games often come down
to a board clogged with creatures and one
evasion creature slipping through over several
turns. It’d even be splashable if you’ve got
enough legal targets. In constructed, I’m not
quite sure. It may be a bit below standards
there.

poo... that’s all I can say about this horrible,
horrible Aura.
I’m very much speechless, got nothing and this
card is not even worth the effort. You know I
love to bash a card here and there just for
giggles but this is just too easy. All I’m gona
say is poo.

You see what I said up there? Well, multiply
that times two because I’ll take a 0/1 creature
with no abilities over this “oh so wonderful
card” and I’ll get more use out of the 0/1.
sigh... that’s all I can say other than bad
design team, very bad!
