OVERALL: This card represents my father-in-law. His presence touched so many lives. The moments I cherish the most are when we’d be on vacation on a beach – He always had great advice when you needed it. On the beach, he would notice a Pelican in the sky and always mentioned how majestic the Pelican was to him. It’s life was about soaring over the beach and diving for dinner when hungry. “…4% of their day foraging and 96% loafing…” Even flying, it didn’t flap its wings as leveraged the wind of beach to keep it afloat. “Imagine having that kind of life and flying with other birds and being able to fly anywhere you wanted.” He’s passed away many years ago and to this day, when any family member sees a solitary Pelican, they say, “Look there he is…he’s watching over us.”

GAME ATTRIBUTES: Choices in Magic are really important. This card not only aids in drawing more cards but also lets you choose to get some extra life to keep your score afloat – What could be a more sustaining white/blue card? This creature in the early to mid-game, can fly around and do 3 damage until the attacks don’t work and draw some more cards. The best part is the choice of discarding to gain life when you have cards you don’t need. I really like this card. Only addition might be to give it vigilance so It can attack and draw a card.
