Eternalize 2WW, discard a card
2/3

This seems pretty strong. Decent in both modes and seems to stabilize the board/life total well. Thoughts?

[Edit] - didnt notice the discard. Makes a it a lot less playable.

Seems okay, but white's 3cc creature slot is jammed up with fantastic cards. Don't think there's room.

Edit: Also the Eternalize on this card requires you to discard a card in addition to its other costs for some inexplicable reason.

Oh wow.. didnt see the discard part during the initial viewing.. makes it quite a bit worse.

This is a great card for a cube that wants to heavily push the graveyard theme into five colors. A white card that plays from the graveyard, while acting as a discard outlet doesn't come every set. Outside of that archetype, it's nothing all that special, but at least it's better than most of the eternalize cards.

This is actually a very near miss for me, and I could see being talked into the card. It's got those synergistic nodes I'm always prattling on about.

Agree. While it it worse than other 3 drops, it is definitely a contender in graveyard centric cubes - being a zombie is a plus if one is making an Innistrad cube. It can simply be discarded, eternalized, and enables another discard. Quite powerful in that respect.

In a regular cube though, hard pass.
