Evoking it is never that bad, precisely because white decks are built to use the graveyard most of the time
The power of this card can be difficult to see by examining it in a vacuum, but in practice, it is incredibly strong
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of The Darkness Crystal's first ability)
Borderless Midgar, City of Mako (59k, $3/$5) I have to admit, all five spells/lands are in good use numbers, and no matter the format youre playing, having lands also be spells is incredible flexibility
It is a bit like Gaddok Teeg in that it is brutal against some decks and just a dork against others however 5/5 fliers do rather a lot more than a vanilla 2/2 does
