Didn't know there was a print of this with Jace flavor text. Kind of wish they leaned into him being an illusionist more.

Anyway, it's a two-mana "-less One" with flying. Tempted to try to make it work in Illusions.dek - Lord of the Unreal makes this a hard to answer threat.

I remember brewing an Illusions tribal deck at some point in high school. Aggresive beaters like this card, but also Phantasmal Bear, Phantasmal Dragon and so on, Mistform Warchief as a cost reducer, Lord of the Unreal and Phantasmal Image as a protection, some negates to stop sweepers and Turnabout as a way to get past blockers or to intercept opponent's attack. I have never done it though, since it seemed as to high effort for what was essentially a kitchen sink meta, so I am not sure how it would play.

This actually reminded me...

Not the first or the last in the "opposing white and black knights" trope.

Would probably be a lot better with flash. Or maybe it's assumed that Yeva, Nature's Herald is already in play.

easily one of the best goblins. For fun casual or serious competitive play, this card do a good job in a gob deck.

Experience counters were an interesting sub-theme -- the WRB segment actually tie together pretty well, but as they're only four cards can't really drive a deck. Too many, and it makes the "hurdle" of accumulating experience a non-burden, and too few and it's not meaningful to try and build them up over a game.

Still, I was really surprised they didn't use experience counters or Level Up in the various D&D sets.

The nice thing about Kal is that her body is alright even at experience 0 - no one is going to complain about having that out on turn four. In a deck with Kelsien, the Plague, the outlook is even better.

This was my first rare. Can you imagine? It's a minor miracle I wound up playing Magic at all.

If you're looking for the ramp itself to "be" your wincon in ramp.dek, Crash of Rhino Beetles is probably better.
