My fault. Have submited an older version. Now it is OK.

She looks like an alien crackhead.

Maybe she is

Over all, I am very disappointed in the lack of creativity given to the Saints, for what should of been a great addition to a new race with such as sweet impact on the storyline, nothing new has been provided by there abilities, they are nothing more than a combo of Warlords and mixed abilities relating to each element.

I would of loved to see Saints go one of two ways, ether a very powerful set of 9 Mana creatures each with a super power relating in some way to their element, or 4 Mana creatures unrestricted by Race limits, that provide a very powerful combo between each other.

That mana-steal property is pretty huge. Imagine being in check and dropping her to kill off someone and stealing the only mana your opponent has. She could also help attrition decks. I don't quite know what to think of this one yet.

Don't know why it hasn't struck me before, but when reading this i immediately thought of a person we shall no longer speak of that has recently "retired" from the scene.

Timing of the account, type of posts trigger some suspicion ... i'll be asking some ip-traces just to be sure.

on topic then:

One of the main goals of Set A is to offer a much wider variety of cards that can be used in competitive decks.
Adding 6 mana creatures with from a combined point of view uniqueness in features will most certainly add depth to the game (as have the Set 3 nobles).

Creating a bunch of über-powered 9 mana creatures might be fun for an occasional friendly match,
but the truth is (unfortunately) that such cards rarely (not to say never) see play in a competitive format.

Both Set 2 Warlords and Set 3 Nobles brought new abilities to the game with invocation and field morph, this is something that the new Saints have failed to accomplish

Ken, to be honest, even though Dragon's spelling and grammar are not perfect, they are far superior to those of "him."

I don't think it is who you think it is.

Pro's to your argument:
1) Timing of account creation.
2) Shares the same views as "he" did.
3) Same country of origin.
4) Same kind of deck creativity.

Con's against your argument:
1) Better spelling and grammar than "jack-off."
2) Account was created over 3 months ago. Unless he created it with the feeling that the end was near, the timing does not work.

That's about it. So the odds are in your favor, Ken. After looking at what I just typed, I think it might be him too.

Notice the lack of acknowledgement of your statement about who he might be? It's getting stronger, this feeling of infiltration.

I would say this is the most powerful Saint. You can draw more if you want, force your opponent into LD, and steal mana all at the same time.

Am really sorry if I offended anyone, but its just that when I saw that Saints would be brought into the future PC Version of EOJ I was really excited, but I can't help but feel that these cards lack creativity and fail to offer new strategies like what I was hoping.

as far as i know of and not counting Elven Subterfuge (294) because it is a one time only spell, this ability is completely new and very leathal imo.

I was under the impression that you forced your opponent to draw a card, not send a card to the graveyard?
