Kekule_the_Magician on the inclusion of Devouring Light in a TurboFog Deck:
Quote from Kekule_the_Magician »
As a person who typically plays very creature oriented decks, I HATE when an opponent has Devouring Light. It is infuriating to finally get through with a creature on to have it exiled.
I've come to hate White in general now because it gets everything to the point where it is almost unfair. White has boardwipes (Wrath of God, End Hostilities), targeted exile and removal (Devouring Light, Banishing Light, Last Breath), lifegain spells, lifelink, low cost/high power enchantments and auras, flying creatures; my goodness what don't they get!?
Art is awesome, 8/8 trampling body is awesome, 5 damage to planeswalkers/ creatures is awesome.
Twin dragon team up with herself to swing for a collective 28 damage.....
The thread on reddit says it was accidentally revealed. If it is true... then I'm rather letdown. None of these dragons has the EPIC and unique feel I'm looking. I mean Kolaghan I guess but I'd rather have a unique effect that's actually good. Sigh. Well there's always Ojutai.

According to Reddit, the source is an SCG preorder page: Linky
Seems pretty blatant, and it hasn't been removed. Maybe this was their preview card or something and mistakenly got put up for pre-order early? Definitely odd, doesn't seem like a mistake they would make. It isn't in their DTK visual spoiler either.

Standard. The main problem with doublestrike Atarka is that she really doesn't do anything right away, unless you give her haste. She may give another derg doublestrike, but, eh. This Atarka kills at least one thing, and is also an 8/8.
The dragon deck I'm concepting right now revolves around Kolaghan and Dragon Tempest.

In a deck about granting haste to your dragons, I'd definitely go for the first Atarka. She also does something the turn she comes into play in that she gives double strike to your other dragons.
Silumgar feeds Exploit. Kolaghan doesn't support Dash technically, but she's another enabler of hasty stuff. Dromoka doesn't have much real synergy with Bolster except that 7 toughness means usually someone else is getting the boosts. And Atarka...turns on Formidable by herself. I called Atarka being big and pricey in the Dragonlord speculation poll/thread, though that's not exactly rocket science.
So I've kind of got hopes for Ojutai, on the basis that he'll at least probably assist/enable Rebound in some way, though he'll probably still cost too much to see play.

Feel free to tell me yours!
As for the card itself, nice synergy with Formidable, but can't hit players = sadface...

I believe fated conflagration set the standard of things dealing damage directly to planeswalkers.
