That is an unfortunate naming incident that they really couldn't have predicted. I'm glad they're doing what they can to change it, even if it'll turn the Death Carona printings into rare collector's items.

Anyway, the card itself is a neat variant on channel from Kamigawa. I like it.

I like the Void Invader name better, but since I'll be aggressively going after the Godzilla cards, I'll probably get a Death Corona. (also, collector's misprint like my prerelease Corpse Knight with extra toughness)

As for the card itself, I see it more as a psuedo-aura. 9 times out of 10, you want to cycle. Because of the synergy between Deathtouch and Trample, though, he works well with Mutate and the Spacegodzilla commander has mutate (including from the grave) and trample

Bladebrand was good in RNA (but not in M20), so this feels like a solid include for draft.
