A Red Regen 2/2 for 3. A slightly better red drudge skeleton. I like obnoxiously reading the Favor text aloud. Uthden Troll was in a british punk band during the late 70's early 80's.

He and Eron the Relentless are the only members of the club of "Red Creatures requiring red mana to regenerate". Cheers yer olde Uthdy!

Why couldn't they bring back the good one, sedge troll?

The flavor text is outstanding. The card as a mechanic could probably be better, but the flavor is delicious.

A fun card back in the day. It won't win any prices for power, but it is an interesting ability for a red creature to have.

Well, it's competing with Goblin Roughrider for a spot on the curve.
Honestly, which one would you prefer?
I'd take this guy any day.

This guy and Sedge Troll has something that red's main original 3-drop didn't have: regenration.
U jelly, Grey Ogre?

I'd grab this dude in draft, he 's alright. But more importantly, this card has fantastic flavor. Really, amazing. Wizards should riff on the flavor text in the next core set. Make a card called "Troll Chant." It could be an instant that gives a creature +2/+2 and regenerates it, or something. Make it green, if necessary. The most important thing would be flavor like this:

"Oi oi oi! Me smells'a smelly man!

Oi oi oi! He cutty-pokey can!

gonna nosh-bosh stomp-chomp yum-burp-and-

BetterBetterBetterBetterBetter! Oi oi oi..."

My magical MTG daydream is that WOTC makes "Troll Chant" and uses this flavor text. Also bosh+nosh= best rhyme ever. Kudos to whoever wrote the flavor text of Uthden Troll, its pretty genius. The art ain't bad either. Man, I love this card...
