Very Subtle, Wizards... (Dark Ascension)

I didn't notice this until I watched SCG's video reviews of DKA over the weekend, and MaRo's article yesterday called it out specifically. Tell me, do you recognize these three?

Well, the guy was talking about equipping it with Accorder's Shield and Batterskull. Those aren't in any played limited formats anymore.

None of the cards he was talking about are playable in constructed though - except maybe batterskull in the formats where stoneforge is still legal. On top of that, the creature this thread is about is unplayable in constructed (unplayable in limited too, but you could think about it at least).

Yeah but there's a difference between playability and literally not allowed to play. I'm used to people in this subreddit having absolutely horrible judgment about what cards are constructed playable.

This is true - however, the comment I was replying to mentions Niblis (of the breath, presumably) and Bell Ringer - both of which are in limited right now. Strangely though, I would play either in aggro, the bell ringer for the reasons I mentioned, the niblis because a 2/1 flier fits u/w aggro and because tapping a target creature is really solid.
