Another weak WW. A 2/3 for 1WW with an unusable ability. W and card draw are never used in the same sentence. WW decks EMPTY their hand. Waste of an uncommon slot. Should be a common.
Apparently WOTC cant think of anything for W, so they just make weenies, weenies and more weenies.
Wizards, please prove me wrong.

So.....what exactly are you complaining about? Too many low-costed white creatures or too few low-costed white creatures?
You do realize that every color gets a bunch of low-costed creatures, right? Not every low costed creature is absolutely-positively supposed to go into a weenie deck. If you evaluate every white card based solely on viability in a WW deck, you'll find that you won't be able to appreciate the rest of what White has to offer.

I am complaining about the lack of creativity in W. WW is not a force in the format. It never has been. WOTC has stated that W will generally have the best weenies, but there is very little to offer beyond that. I would like to see some creativity. Hokori and Otherwordly Journey is a continuation of Astral Slide, but beyond that, I really dont see much that is new.
Maybe this card could work in MWC, but the ability isnt going to work effectively since W doesnt have much card advantage.

Ummmmmm. Have you ever heard of playing multi color decks? I hear that blue has some awesome card drawing tech.
Is this card good? NO! Does it suck? NO!
Why on earth is this a white weenie? It is a 2/3 for three cmc. Weenies are usually a bit smaller and more aggresively costed.

No way! Really? U has card drawing? Thank god you are here to keep me informed.
If the card was 2W and not 1WW, it would work better multi color. Its easier to get mana screwed when running cards that require multiples of one color in decks like that.
I guess you are planning to use this card? Be sure to say "In your face Pantherdan!" When you win the Regionals with it...

I think this card is really good and very playable. It doesn't have to go in white weenie. It's like an Exalted Angel Alternative that just happens to not know how to fly. If you play it off an Aether vial on your opponent's turn then swing for 3/5 + life gain on your turn .... (equipped with a Sword of Fire and Ice for shiggles) It's not bad. With Sword you have a renewable source of on color (no color) card draw that does extra damage. Etceteron. IF Sword is too expensive don't forget we still can use Mask of Memory
This card has potential. For 3 mana, a 2/3 is about on average, which means bellow par. And when you have card advantage over your opponent, he gets holy strength and spirit link. A 3/5 spirit link for 3 is not bad at all. Sure, it is a bit unconventional for the standard "lay cheap creatures all the time and smash" white weenie deck. But it could be interesting to try a more card-advantage geared ww. Mask of Memory and Sword of Fire and Ice (or Light and shadow) provide a good source of cards. Empyrial Plate provides a huge boost for a low cost. You could run 4 Isamaru with less risk of losing them to legends rule, as the extra copies in your hand could actually serve a purpose.

This guy could see play in u/w control decks or in a WW deck built around empyrial plate(like the old empyrial armour ww decks, although they had land tax as a boost).
He's not fantastic but 3cc for a 2/3 is about average and in limited in this block because of all the 2/1's out there it would actually be playable(not good just playable) just for that. If you build a more control style deck he goes from being playable to being decent. Even if you play him in a agressive deck if you draw 1st you should be able to keep ahead on cards anyway.
This one looks pretty block specific in its quality. You MUST have lots of cards in hand for it to be worth it. However, at the same time, I'm seeing a lot of such things in this block, so maybe there is going to be a way for players to have more cards in hand than normal. Soulshift and Splice are both card advantage abilities, afterall, perhaps...
Ah well.
