Despite being a vanilla, he is WAY above his cost curve. Do you think he is worth considering in general or would you say despite his high power, the fact that he has no ability (double breaker aside) makes other things more worthwhile?

Personally I'd rather run a Ra-Vu, Seeker of Lightning or Alcadeus, Winged Justice than this guy. There is an advantage to high power, but I personally feel it is minor, especially in higher costs. Cards like this and Zagaan, the Bone Knight can be nice since they are hard to kill, but when compared to cards Dark Scaradorable that small power increase seems minor. And they all die to Terror Pits and Hydra Medusas the same.
However, I do love using my Forsett, Heroic Shaman in my Anti-Control. The main difference is he is an early game threat. With ramp you can drop him on Turn 4 or sooner and he has more power than most turn 6 or 7 drops. He can't hit creatures, be he blows past any blocker that tried to stop him =P
Radiant, the Lawbringer may see some play in decks focused around Skyforce Champion; especially if the theme gains more support. But until they add removal like "Destroy target creature with 7K or less power" I doubt he will be used too often.

Probably true. I've kinda seen him as one of those cards that isn't absolutely amazing (Gilaflame) but also isn't another Megaria scenario. Definitely a good point about the skyforce champions focus deck. I can see this guy getting some play in a solid mono light control deck maybe.

I think that I would run him in a more aggressive deck but I would most likely not use him in control. Also, bio mentioned Ra-Vu instead, but I think that what Radiant loses in abilities he make up for in power.
Decks:
Eluding Abyss
Fight!
Shields holding!
W/F rush

I think he's interesting. Light is all about the blockers and this card seems like one of the outs it has when it may need something that can be as aggressive as it's fire or nature opponent. He's a little plain, but I think would make a decent tech in a light/etc deck.

Well, Blocks is only half of Lights theme. The only half is Tap Down. While Light may be the best defensive civ; don't be fooled into thinking that it means it can't aggro =P In face, Light has some of the better offensive in my opinion. It is one of the best civs to mix with Fire for Rush too.

Agreed. Blinder Beetle and Shaw K'Naw are amazing cards to back up w/ Fire rush tactics. Among others though I rank those 2 as All Stars.
