The art for this card immediately caught my
attention, because it looks like she's standing
in front of a glaring light source. It makes an
effect that conflates the glare with her heroic
aura, and it somehow ends up looking incredibly
Bant-ish.
You can just about count this as a 3/3 for two
mana, seeing as people are often less likely to
block early in the game. Of course, another
creature deck may be tempted to block early so
they don't have to fight through the larger
version later on, and if you need a 3/3 for
defense late in the game, this card won't do.
It's probably not in quite the right place for
high-level constructed, but there's a hilarious
niche deck waiting to be designed around this
card and some other renown creatures alongside
Hardened Scales.
Welcome back readers today's card of the day is
Topan Freeblade. This card is amazing especially
in limited, in limited its an early aggressive
drop that grows and can be both beneficial on
offense and defense with a decent sized body
that grows. In addition it does not require a
heavy commitment to white making it a powerful
early game card as well as whenever you draw it
quite simply an all around powerful card in
limited formats. In standard this card could be
powerful in aggressive white decks it has
relevant abilities and can keep the pressure on.
Outside of constructed standard this card is too
low impact. In casual and multiplayer this card
is good for soldiers and can effectively get its
renown trigger as opponents are more likely to
provide an opening. Overall a great limited card
and potentially powerful card elsewhere.
Today's card of the day is Topan Freeblade
which is a two mana White 2/2 with Vigilance and
Renown. At this mana costs for a soldier
with Vigilance this is already a very solid
creature and the Renown adds an extra bit of
value. The mana cost allows it to be
included in two color decks and there is no
drawback to speak of, so it will see play both
in aggressive White builds and soldier themes.
In a Limited format this is a great common to
have in your Sealed pool that works offensively,
defensively, and in any deck using White.
An easy third or later pick in Booster after
selecting White and any copies should be run in
Sealed when including more than a splash of
White.
