[...] Sun Titan We talked about Sun Titan back when it was “merely” the It Girl-to-be come M11 Prerelease time. Now… Actually a contender for the best Titan performer. When we originally wrote about Sun Titan, we didn’t yet know about the competition in the cycle… What about Sun Titan’s 187? Whenever Sun Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, you may return target permanent card with converted mana cost 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield. [...]

I think this card is going to be sick and if there are multiples..well that’s just too nasty. When I first saw the preview I thought “return jace to constantly out-jace someone? Sounds awesome” I think it’s a fine finisher for those who don’t have baneslayers/don’t want to pay for it (like me) and probably a little better in control/midrange than aggro because of the high cost.

I think the real question will come with the cards in Scars….we don’t know what cmc <=3 will be in that set, or how broken Sun Titan can make them…

Interesting take on “fear” about Magic, which isn’t necessarily “the fear.” Subculture sure has a funny way of being a pit trap of its own specific lingo. Well, anyway… I’m not sure how much I would fear Sun Titan. I don’t think I’m in danger of playing it, and other than the frankly realistic fear that it would bring back perennially fearsome friends like Finks, Forge-Tender or more recently Firewalker, I’m not sure it would be the best card for me to live in fear of in itself.

It is certainly a powerful card, and has a wide array of choices for it to live. For now, though, my concern is regarding how the rest of the set will possibly match up to such a powerful card now put prominently on display. Sure, it’s a mythic, which is a problem in its own right, but how do you match that mythic-ness in another color? I mean… there are only so many ways to deal X damage or destroy lands or artifacts.
