  1. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    Mark D. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
