 | This is an 
                            interesting card.  It's basically worthless as 
                            a creature for it's cost, but rather works nicely as 
                            a card drawing machine.  I think it's a bit 
                            underpowered and slow for constructed play.  In 
                            limited, though, I think it might be exactly what 
                            you need to win the match.  I would most 
                            definitely play it  in any light deck 
                              
                              
                               Constructed: 
                              2 Limited: 4.5

 Finally, we’ve got some solid card drawing for 
							light. Previously light only had stuff that could 
							search for spells (and if every light spell searches 
							for another light spell, what do you wind up with?). 
							Mist Rias will be required for every light deck out 
							there with its massive card drawing. The only real 
							problem is that this 2000 critter is easy to kill. 
							Ideally, you’ll play him and then a couple of small 
							blockers on the same turn to net some cards before 
							your opponent can crimson hammer it.
 
 Constructed: 4/5 (cards = good)
 Limited: 4/5 (cards still = good)

							| Knives101 | Mist Rias is going to be one of the most influential 
							cards of the Shadowclash set. Whenever you or your 
							opponent puts a creature into play you get to draw a 
							card. So your opponent won't exactly enjoy playing 
							creatures when this card is out. In fact most 
							players will aviod putting other creatures into play 
							as long as Mist Rias is in the field. One of the 
							greatest things about Mist Rias is that it allows 
							you to rush during the late game. You play a 
							creature. Then you draw another creature. Then you 
							play that creature to draw another, and another etc, 
							etc. This is very good for a Diamond Cutter deck 
							that wants to swarm with blockers. It is also very 
							good for a Light/Fire deck that wants to swarm with 
							low cost creatures. Mist Rias is a little better 
							than Trash Man. Trash Man requires creatures to 
							already be in play for you to draw a card. Mist Rias 
							on the other hand does not. Mist Rias is way better 
							than Syforce. Mainly because it is better to draw 
							into your Holy Awe than to recover it from the mana 
							zone. Mist Rias is a much faster way to grab a Holy 
							Awe. Of course I could really care less, because 
							four Angel Songs + four Holy Awes = all the tapping 
							power you'll ever need.  Mist Rias' power is only 
							2000. Meaning that almost any tap/destruction card 
							can kill it off with ease. This is a slight 
							drawback, but hand advantage is one of the best (if 
							not the very best) thing that you can have in a 
							game.

									Hey everyone! 
									Mist Rias is like Toel, Vizier of Hope. They 
									both cost 5, have 2000 power, and have a 
									good effect. 5 mana is not too expensive for 
									a card like this. Everyone needs creatures 
									to win the game, why not benifit from it? 
									This card can give you much needed draw 
									power in a light deck, where stalling and 
									waiting is key. use this in combination with 
									some blockers, and you just might be able to 
									attack with him as well. I highly recommend 
									this card. 
									
									Hello! Today I 
									have a review of Mist Rias, Sonic Guardian. 
									This creature is a 5 for 2000 creature. 
									Not very good is it. Then you see it's 
									special ability of whenever a creature gets 
									put into the battle zone, you get to draw 
									one card. With a nature deck and high amount 
									of mana. You can draw almost up to three 
									extra cards per turn. |  |
