Reviews

A 2/5 is really below where a needs to be in modern Limited formats. Of course, it can buff itself, but Eagle of the Great Shelf can only do so when you also have a board of creatures. Needing to rely on the rest of your board state makes me think this card will be far too weak, but it does have some potential with the right build.

Clunky like Eagle of the Great Shelf haven't felt great in The Hobbit,_ even if this reads well.
