5 damage? That's a huge pheasant.

Yeah but weirdly it only makes one food

If it made multiple foods based on the power and/or toughness of the creature it was destroying, it would be far too powerful for a instant speed flyer answer.

The Owl one isn't bad, I don't think. This one, on the other hand, is pretty bad. Rakdos Firewheeler is better than this.

Just the thing to kill Harmonious Archon with.

How a headhunter could be a Knight????
It is the first flavor fail of this set from my point of view...

A warrior would've made more sense. I understand that Knights are Mardu in this set, but a Rakdos Knight just seems like he'd be a violent thug with no honor.

I don't like this card; the creature typing and the colors and the abilities just don't mesh well to my mind.

I was really expecting more from their Merlin analogue. Don't know what, just more.

If you ask me, the Returned King card is everything that this card should have been.

Are there any cards that benefit from combat tricks in standard right now? Besides Feather?

I'm not in love with the idea of Black and Green caring about Food, which, bizarrely, is an artifact of all things. It makes sense flavorwise, because one of the intersections of Black and Green is definitely parasitism, but it's just kind of random and slapdash, to my mind.

Works well with the Blue Wizard legend that was spoiled.

I wish his name was Chadwick

Chadwarden.

The card is...I dunno. Lot of these legends are kind of on the bland side, and while this one has some good interactions in a mono blue deck, I'm not terribly impressed by it.

Why would you sacrifice a food just to bring back that cat? I mean, yeah, if you've got nothing better to do, I guess it's all right but it doesn't seem like a particularly good payoff.

Also, what in the world is that thing in Insatiable Appetite? Looks like Manbat Jr.

I'm curious if this theme of 'death by a thousand cuts' is going to become normal for black creatures? It seems like pinging via multiple triggers is becoming more and more...obvious.

Not sure what story this references, if any. I know that elves have been known to spirit away mortal men to use as 'husbands'.

And you don't have to exile them? Not bad! Will work nicely with the Naya Populate deck that just came out.

Bit weird the Cleric token has worse defensive stats than the Rogue but whatever.

Looks like we've got an uncommon legendary Knight cycle coming.

I'm sure there'll be one in White, and I hope they actually do the full cycle with a Blue and Green one as well, but I'm not too optimistic about that.
