Lackey is big. But I think gempalm incinerator and goblin sharpshooter are equally as important. Though, we do have munitions expert as a gempalm replacement
You can't save your maze of ith from wasteland with this guy if they waste it before attacking. That's basically the only downside I see. You can't return or save certain utility lands with his ability. Same goes for Tabernacle.
I think the overall ev of the rares in this set is worse than iconic masters. Iconic had at least 4 rares that were $50+ before the reprint, and actually had a pretty good amount of rares and mythic that were mid-priced, like 15-25 bucks. I'm curious to see how m25 and iconic compare to each other when it's all said and done.
I guarantee they put this card in because they wanted to show off the Ali from Cairo ability, but couldn't put Ali in because of the reserved list. I had a feeling they might do this. They should have instead done gauntlet of power to represent gauntlet of might, another rl card.
Guess they were afraid of faeries being too good again, even though I haven't seen any really good faeries yet.
