So the King Arthur card can't be opened in normal packs... As far as I'm considered this means he isn't even in the set. >:(

Absolutely forbidden to make 5-color legendaries the buy a box and his is something all players would want as well since it presents for King Arthur and probably the way to make a animar deck with white and black added

You can gain 5 life for 3 mana!

The 5/5 trample haste for 6 or that part of drawing cards and reanimator on legs? Not important.

Eh, Unless he is playable in standard (doubtful), or broken in modern/vintage/legacy (Doesn't look like it), then I doubt his going to be expensive to get. Even if you don't get the BAB-Promo yourself.

It would be a good Boros legend, I guess?

Makes sense he's missing and in Stag form for most of the book.

Cool it reflects he was a knight of the five courts but not that great card wise IMO.

Recipe:

1. slip phage the untouchable into your oponent's deck.
2. Mill her.
3. Activate the king black ability targeting phage.

Profit! errr I mean... Win!

:mad:

1. The set all about Arthurian legend, and King Arthur himself can't be found in packs.
2. The person who sits on the THRONE OF ELDRAINE can't be found in packs of THRONE OF ELDRAINE.

I see Kenrith, the Returned King and my first thought is 'ugh, another 5 color commander that wins with infinite mana'. Still, at least he doesn't work with Food Chain directly.

Ignoring the combo potential, seems pretty reasonable as a value engine - he does a lot of things at reasonable (but not exciting) rates. Lots of flexibility though. Abilities are targeted, so you can use him for group hug (or, perhaps more fittingly, as a kingmaker). I do wish there were a bit more incentive to use him in that way though - as-is, there isn't really a reason to target an opponent instead of yourself.

Love the card, despise how we're meant to obtain it.

Unless it gets very popular in EDH (which I strongly suspect will be). In these days prices spikes also for commander-only requests...

People said the same of the minotaur siblings, and well... Not really that expensive.

Well, I'm hoping he's not too expensive/hard to get because I really, really want one!

At screwing opponents combat's in multiplayer there's plenty of reasons to target their creatures instead of yours.

As a side note you can open non-foil versions of this card in the collectors boosters. Price for this card won't be high at all.
