This flavor text is almost painful.

Gibbons are my favourite species of ape and its a fun word to say. I'll probably get this card for novelty purposes.

I can almost see using these as a form of psychological warfare -- your opponent will be too busy face-palm-ing at the flavor text to notice the 300 Cheatyfaces that just entered the battlefield.

It's up there with Daring Leap and Werebear for "all-time worst flavor texts".

Oh my god. This is the most mentally held back flavor text on a non-un/Yu-Gi-Oh card I have ever seen.

Best. flavor text. EVER.

All jokes aside, this is actually a really good card. A 4/4 for 1cc? Yes please. Against practically any deck this can be useful. Enchantress decks love this.

Haha! The type-change ability triggers on casting the spell, and the gibbons stop being an enchantment- take that Disenchant!

Can someone explain the flavor text to me? I'm german and don't understand it at all.

@Ameisenmeister: It is a pun on the phrase "give and take".

Whoever wrote the flavor text should either be shot without trial or win the nobel prize, I'm not sure which. Even aside from that, though, this is an awesome card. Your opponent is going to play an instant sooner or later.

Good against blue. To counter and give a 4/4 or not to counter? That is the problem!

I don't think this grin is gonna leave my face any time soon.

A green card with groan-worthy flavor text. I'm surprised it wasn't reprinted in Odyssey to run alongside Gorilla Titan, Werebear and Wild Mongrel.

That flavor text...I can't decide if it's hilarious or painfully bad. Seems like a decent card though.

How could it not have goofy flavor text with a name like 'Hidden Gibbons,' good lord!

I had to sign in just to give this card 5 stars. The flavor text alone makes the card awesome!

Great flavor text and name, but the card really shines too. Its surprisingly good actually.
