[card]Olgate, Knight of Shadow[/card]

I personally think this guy not only looks cool but has a pretty awesome ability. While he is a bit situational, he's still a really cool card if you run slayers/Back-to-your-hand creatures. He's a bit low on power, which weakens him a good amount. Tell me what you guys think of him and if you would use him or not ;)

I find him too situation to use in any deck not built around him. The main problem is that if your foe was to banish a creature, I bet he would be first choice 90% of time. Still, Covering Fire him, break a shield, then weenie rush them. If they block and kill your weenies, he untaps and gets to attack again (Still unblockable). If he had double breaker he would be awesome for this.

Back to hand creatures dont work with Olgate. Creature needs to be banished for its effect to work.

The hard part about this Olgate is that while not being Double Breaker and only 5k he is easibly removable from the field.

By back to the hand I mean cards like aqua commando and aqua knight. Plus other cards like hovercraft glu-urgle that do it to other creatures.

Actually, I think Zero is right. They use the wording "Instead", right? Well, Instead means "it never happened". So if it says "if this could would be banished it goes to the hand instead" it would never have counted as being banished. At least I remember reading something like that before...

Yes that was what i meant. Olgate needs the creature to reach the graveyard in order to untap. Cards that bounce to hand do not trigger his effect :)

I don't see him as a viable card to build a deck around, but if I had a deck centered around mostly slayers etc and had room for something, I suppose it could come in handy.

Well I doubt a tier 1 or 2 deck would be built around him, at least not unless he gets some crazy combos going in the future. But I could see someone building a deck around him just to have for fun casual duels. If only you could Canopy Cover him with a Magma Madness, then it would be an awesome combo =P

I have a couple of Olgate's and tried to pull off a deck that could capitalize on his ability using Gigabolvers, Marrow-ooze, Chimera Tyrant Dream Pirate and such. If it works it's really really cool. The problem is that to pull it off somewhat consistently the whole deck needs to be centered on him, and even then it's difficult. I also tried having him as a backup possibility in a mono-Dark deck and he never even saw play. Maybe in future expansions he could find a card that'll make an epic setup play work, but for now it just doesn't work too well.

I forgot about the one attackers like Marrow Ooze. They certainly do make his ability much easier to trigger. The theme will probably always be inconsistent, but if we get more blockers that have 1 attack before dying it may be more manageable at least.
