What's with Auriok Champions price? Why's it a twenty dollar card?

So putting pressure on a single archetype? That's it?

Protection from the two biggest "destruction" colors is a good enough reason, and she's a soul sister. Add a sword of different colors to her and she's practically invincible.

Even if Sisters' strategy is to gain life, it can fall against the burn decks. It's pretty important in that regard.
Keeping a sister around that isn't susceptible to (probably) the most played card in eternal formats (Lightning Bolt) is pretty good.

True story, sold 3 Auriok Champions for 3 dollars in store credit.

In my defense, this was years ago. And to this day I still kick myself for doing that.

Hopefully MMA2 will reprint her. This lovely lady is in very short supply.

Pro red is pretty vital against the burn strategy, given that you'll have a soul sister that survives their removal and blocks their aggressive creatures well.
