This card has recently been brought to my attention by another Modern cuber and an article by Mike Flores about Orzhov decks. I presented it to my playgroup and they basically went nuts for it. The things my group was talking about the most was the interaction with Skullclamp and the Wrath Protection it provides. Im also excited to see it in an Orzhov deck similar to Ghost Husk (We are also adding Nantuko Husk). The only negatives we really found with the card is that the Spirits dont fly and its not a may ability. So whats your thoughts?
You don't get that much value from the card considering you have to wait most times. I wouldn't play a sorcery version that makes three tokens. It was in my original cube list and got cut pretty fast. Nantuko Husk is another card that you would find in most lists here about two years ago. It's just not good enough these days for most regular setups.
I had it in my cube originally, and it wasn't bad as it was fine protection from Wrath spells, while also being useable if you just had sacrifice outlets. The biggest downside was that the tokens didn't have flying despite being spirits... That was lame.
Thanks for the input so far guys. Im always open to hear opinions from those that have already tested the card. With that said though I still feel like I gotta try it out myself due to Modern playing out so differently than a typical cube. Ill be sure to keep an eye on it during our drafts.
