*sigh* People complain that a Planeswalker that poops out 3/3 trampling dinosaurs should be 4 CMC already forgot about how oppressive Gideon, Ally of Zendikar was to the metagame.
Kudos Play Design. You're already paying your salary in spades, IMHO.
Spike card is Spike. Home-run by all means for tournament players. And it combines two great effects (Clique and Stifle) that we usually don't get enough of. This is like Ben and Jerry discounted their ice cream (rare not mythic) and combined two existing flavors into a new one.
All y'all new players are spoiled rotten. I've been playing for over two decades. Two decades ago if we got a 5/4 for CC it would cost you half your life and have cumulative upkeep and phasing.
i keep re-reading this card for a downside but I don't see one. I'd pick this pretty high in limited and even consider First-Picking it if my pack was weak and I didn't want to commit to anything. I like.
Tru story, bro.

But seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing pre-spark Windgrace and Ajani.

Nah they didn't nail it. They 'obelisk-ed' it.
Best spoiler all season!
But srs to everyone complaining, obvious limited cards are obvious.
