Edit: Interesting, not sure if anyone would want to double up with Pithing Needle. Why would WOTC leave that card out of M11 and then print this? Strange
Can't be found by Trinket Mage and is more easily removed than Pithing Needle. I suppose it is good enough to use in many Standard decks though. It's really only relevant these days against planeswalkers and equipment, but I suppose that's more than enough for it to be used in a control sideboard.
Very important distinction: Pithing Needle can name Wasteland/Maze of Ith. Definitely not as powerful in Legacy. But very very good in Standard. EDIT: Now that I finally read the article, I will also echo LSV in saying it can name mana creatures. That's....pretty nice for Standard/Extended. Although not that many decks play Hierarch/Birds anyway....so basically I see this card as the nuts against Elves! and as decent-ish against Jace decks.
Especially with new Tezz to dig for him and turn him into a 5/5? Sounds pretty hot.
Um... Jace Killer anyone?
