political cards mtg Commander for play in Magic: The Gathering? Mint / near mint condition trading card Magic: The Gathering's "Silverquill Statement"

When the card came out, everyone asked me if I'd designed it, and I said yes, but no one seemed to listen when I explained all the above, so people just mocked me on social media (I'm used to it, but still)

Though still gorgeous, as well as thematic, it did feel like a notable departure from the cards found in prior sets

It has the same power level as Ajani's Pridemate, which is an indication of a strong card for any life gain deck

The trample damage becomes insult to injury and is almost an instant-speed Blaze

This five-cost sorcery destorys all dorks and artifacts, but keeps the rest around

Ramping from five lands to seven lands is also pretty decent, especially if doing so is going to trigger your landfall abilities in the process
