You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
so excited about this. vorel curving through master biomancer into this, makes her sturdier. i was waiting for something to make my biomancers amazing. with a solid draw plan this could be nasty...
Such a swingy card, you might as well be flipping a coin.
Dies to way too much. Having it stick is a big IF. Of course if you're lucky enough for that to happen, it'll ride you to an easy victory.
Can't the same be said for nearly every powerful card ever? I don't think "dies to removal" would be a rational fear here anyway, as the mana you untap during every upkeep phase can easily be used for counterspells and hexproof granting instants.

I think i will build this :banana::rofl: for this season
Card is sweet and I love it... But I thought the same thing, c'mon I almost have critical mass of good flash creatures in 100 card singleton.
it is sweet, but i'd love for a cool ug creature like this to see standard play. as is it will be really fun in edh which is nice but sadly requires even more of a push for type 2.

This card is AWESOME! I'm not sure if it will see play in standard, but I wouldn't be surprised (will definately be a fun EDH card). It lets you defend it with countermagic unless they have instant speed removal ready the turn it comes down, and it lets you play more powerful sorcery speed draw spells on your turn and still leave up countermagic or potential threats on your opponents turns. Imagine playing this guy then dropping an urban evolution next turn.

I know flavor text isn't easy to create, but that's got to be the most faux-profound flavor text I've seen in a long time. The first part is fine, but essentially the second part is saying "the truth is as fleeting as a dance", well, neither of those three things make any god damn sense in conjunction with each other.
The card's cool. Amps up your ability to produce board threats. Might not be powerful enough for 5 mana though. It's an interesting way of procuring tempo advantage, that's for sure.

It does if you have one of her on the board and they are going to destroy/exile it/pacify it. Just thinkin' outside the box.

Haha, that made me laugh.
I like this card. It might be a bit too expensive for Standard, but it's got loads of fun wrapped up in it. Very nice.
