[card name="Frontline Medic"]Frontline Medic[/card] {2W} for 3/3 Human Cleric Battalion — Whenever [card name="Frontline Medic"]Frontline Medic[/card] and at least two other creatures attack, creatures you control are indestructible this turn. [card name="Sacrifice"]Sacrifice[/card] [card name="Frontline Medic"]Frontline Medic[/card]: Counter target spell with {X} in its mana cost unles its controller pays {3}. |
Frontline Medic |
Starting Price: $4 |
|
Thoughts: A medium-sized body for the mana cost (and I can remember the days where a 3/3 for three would be something special) with two situational effects. The second ability is the bread and butter—there are several X spells worth countering in the current Standard (Bonfire of the Damned, Sphinx’s Revelation), and I believe that ability is a lot more relevant than the battalion ability. Since Frontline Medic only costs a single white mana, it’s easily splashable as a sideboard card for decks that want to beat ramp/control. Should be a solid role-player and be a $3-$5 staple in the new Standard. |
