While this may not be a .44 Magnum, it is capable of dealing a good deal of damage to an engine block (or an opponent). It is really more of a hollow point shell. It shares some DNA with License To Kill, but there are a number of key shifts that give it a little more oomph on attacks and kick on defense. Mana should not be an issue, as most spells require no more than a single colored mana (Shambling Remains, which requires one each of black and red is the sole exception), and 8 more require none. The 12/11/13/4 curve is fairly square but it still comes in with only a 2.23 average cost, which allows it to ramp up easily. The big drawback is that all 4 of the non-creature cards are at the 1-spot, and half of those can do nothing until something is in the graveyard.
