Orzhov Guildmage

Amazing art, this card is just as playable as azure mage, sometimes it comes down to two or three points of life, and in the late game this creature is capable of that.

If you use this card's life gain ability on someone else, you can cast Needlebite Trap for 1 swamp! Combine that.. with Sanguine Bond.

If you sacrifice this to Teysa, Orzhov Scion and two other W/B creatures like a mourning thrull, you remove one monster from the game and you get three free white spirit token with flying, losing nothing. You could even sacrifice them to Ghost council of orzhova after you chump block or whatever, gaining one life and the opponent losing one life.

Also, when both sides are at a deadlock and are just staring each other down, this is the perfect card to whittle away when you have nothing to do.

this card is perfect for any B or W/B deck when there's nothing to do but draw and wait for an opportunity to make your move. Since that usually happens during mid game, 6 mana for 2 dmg isn't bad at all nor is it very hard.



Very underrated for a black control deck and a staple in any orzhov deck.

This card is perfect for killing off your apponent and keeping yourself going. Because it's abilities only cost three, dealing damage or gaining life, they're easy to use and can be used multiple times.

While I wouldn't call the card junk... There are better places to look for gaining life or dealing direct damage.

This card is absolute junk and why anybody would like it is beyond me. seriously, 3 mana to make eveyone loose 1 life and then another 3 for you to gain 1 life. This doesn't even deserve the latter part of its name, guildmage, its just so bad.
