James13 said: This card is EASILY answerable as outlined by wereotter, along with many support removals that were bolstered yet again with the set. In fact, every color has access to at least one answer to it and related situations. The reason it seems powerful is the decks in node 3 failed to pack any support removal whatsoever. This made them extremely vulnerable. It's not a card issue, but a deck design issue for them in that case. If they overloaded with smashy mythics rather than balanced answers, it's a flaw and weakness that some are currently exploiting similar to the story mode eldrazi that is beaten with ease by any creature-less deck. Not really an issue with the card itself.

I have her deck list as:Channeler InitiateChampion of RhonasVizier of the MenagerieGlorybringerHonored HydraCascading CataractsOracle's VaultSandwurm ConvergenceThrone of the God-PharaohChain LightningHaven't seen her run Manglehorn. I have seen it on 2.2 (Honored Hydra) but not 3.2. Is that the one you're thinking of? Or maybe we have a mistake when we compiled her decklist?

Which is why players don't deserve this awesome power. It needs to be brought under control.
