Venser, the Sojourner


"Venser, the Sojourner" is from the "Scars of Mirrodin"set.  This plainswalker in particular is on that can just plain hurt if his final level is reached.  His +2 ability is different, exiling a permanent you own for a turn...ok for +2 why not, his -1 is very handy if you have a lot of creatures out, they are all now unblockable.  His -8 however really tips the scale in regards to a control deck.  Whenever you cast a spell exile target permanent, yes please!!!  In all this card has potential but at the same time some major drawbacks, if used with the appropriate combos it can be good.     

Great for blue white control decks.  

Good:
- His -1 ability can be helpful 
- His -8 ability just make him

Bad:
-His +2 ability is a double edged sword, exile your permanent for a turn.
-Costs 5 mana: 3 colorless, one white and one blue.  Multi color cost makes it hard to put him in certain decks.  

Scully Rating: 7 out of 10
