Very very good. Possibly slightly too good, even given that aura's need a bump.

on 13 Sep 2013 by Patrik Andersson:

Yeah probably, will do some change to it before final release. Want it to be the new Rancor of the format.

on 13 Sep 2013 by Vitenka:

Um. I strongly disagree with that aim; but yeah, it manages that.

on 13 Sep 2013 by Patrik Andersson:

Haha yeah i thought anyone would disagree. But i really liked the Aura mathers deck that is circling around on both Standard and Modern. So i was thinking of bumping the enchantments on Iscandar 2. The next set. Not sure yet

There was a window... mind you a very small window... where Rancor was listed as the highest rated card in all of Gatherer (A rash of 5 stars when Magic 2013 came out pushed it over the edge. That said, it's pretty impressive that it was primed to do that.)

I'm not saying we can't improve on Rancor, but I kind of think of it as the Lightning Bolt of Enchant Creatures... you really can't get much better without dragging the entire game up a step in the process.

on 14 Sep 2013 by Patrik Andersson:

What i ment with my comment was, i wanted an aura card that was important for the format. Rancor obviously is maybe to good of an aura.
