that is pretty damn good... this is a wall that is never too small.

I'd be surprised if I found a better card in Legends. This has use even today, where there are a million cards that could combo with it. For some reason, Heal the Scars is the first to come to mind, because it could save it if your opponent tries to Bolt it. Also, if it dies, you could use Morbid Bloom to make a saproling garden (because the effect is indefinite, it lasts in the graveyard).

P.S. @ Megrimage: It's actually not a wall, so you could actually attack!

I think it is only indefinite for as long as it's on the battlefield. They errataed it's p/t to 1/1, so I think it would just be that when it's in the graveyard. Clone, for example, doesn't stay the creature you copied when it goes in the graveyard - it goes back to being a Clone. I think the same principle applies here.

Wereterrasque, when you say you think this is the best card in Legends, I think you're forgetting about Mana Drain.

Might've been more playable with a higher power.

Frighteningly playable for a card from Legends. Legends Tagline: "Hey, it's not Homelands... you might actually find something you can play if you look hard enough."

Besides deathtouch, double strike, wither, and infect, this thing cant be killed in creature combat.
