Todays final GTC card to rate is... Aerial Maneuver  Spoiler:
Show
5.0: First pick no matter what. I will always play this card.
4.5: Splashable and first pick worthy.
4.0: First pick pack 1.
3.5: Early pick though not always a first pick.
3.0: Solid early/mid pick.
2.5: Solid pick in color.
2.0: Should generally make the deck if in this color.
1.5: Decent filler.
1.0: 23rd card if you have to.
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in.
0.0: I will never put this card into my deck (main deck or after sideboarding).
We've seen cards like this many times these past few sets. And most of them have been pretty decent. I think this one is pretty good but I'm not sure how good yet. 2 Discuss!

Hm. I haven't played with this one yet, but it's a great combat trick. I'll say 2.

Had it played against me to great effect. Extremely useful in a white deck running up against Bloodrush, as leads to many 2-for-1 situations. Great trick overall, really.
2.0-2.5. If I need a combat trick in white, this'll be it.

2 for me. The first strike is the major benefit.

I generally dislike combat tricks. This one looks to be in the 1.0-1.5 range.

1.0-1.5. It's a combat trick, but this isn't the set for defensive tricks. I saw this get beaten by bloodrush so much.

My sig was so awesome it broke Browsers, I had to remove it.

Then changing the Slivers was your idea! haha

Occassionally when catering, I've been put the task of arranging Fruit and Cheese or Grilled Vegetable platters. More than once a high class buffet has started with the mark of Phyrexia upon it. Since i've got a good eye for color so it looks great to people who don't get the "joke" (it's a niceley divided circle after all: the outline gives you 4-6 "regions" to work with), this has actually got me put on platter design more often, resulting in Phyrexia's presence at more private and industry events.

The Boros and Orzhov pools have better cards, so this should rarely see play.
Bloodrush usually destroys this if you are using it defensively.
It could be useful with battalion to keeo your tiny battalion enabler from dieing but the card is still lacking.
1.0
bulletd Guidelines: 5.0: I will take this card no matter what. Creature 1 or playable 1 or hate 1. Domri Rade  4.5: Bomb and splashable. Creature 1-2, playable 1-2, removal 1. Obzedat, Ghost Council  4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors. Creatures 1-4, removal 1. Rubblehulk  3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Ground Assault  3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature. Creatures 3-9, removal 1-3. Kingpin's Pet  2.5: Solid pick in-color; creatures 5-12, removal 3-5. Mugging  2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Act of Treason  1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Gutter Skulk  1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land. Mental Vapors  0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in. Shattering Blow  0.0: I will shred this card for counters. Frenzied tilling
