Luckily, many cards in the Blue-Eyes strategy have those stats, so it is easy for players to select every combo piece that they need with this single card
Some of those dual sets include To Have Seen the Battle Rainbow [SM3H] / Darkness that Consumes Light [SM3N], Skyscraping Perfection [S7D] / Blue Sky Stream [S7R], and Snow Hazard [SV2P] / Clay Burst [SV2D]
A loose guide for grading whitening would be something like: No whitening - GM 10 1 to 2 spots of whitening - 9 Mint 3 spots of whitening - 8 Mint/Near Mint 4 or 5 spots of whitening - 7 Near Mint All 4 sides have whitening - 6 or below Color boarder cards have a hard time gem minting compared to cards with white/grey (think modern) borders since things like silvering/whitening are much less noticeable
If a creature has protection from everything, you can use sweepers
When it comes to gameplay, this card doesnt just look good but it also packs a punch
And for that we are sorry, Wizards wrote in an announcement of the bans
