a double-colored 6/6 seven-drop with drawback?...there are enough better alternatives these days.
it has strangely creepy artwork only seen on old cards like this one, though.

Wow. A 7cc 6/6 that allows you to sac 2 swamps or it dies?

Sign me up.... for the failboat that is.

Ugh. I'm surprised Wizards survived printing tripe like this.

For the time, this was fairly good. 6/6 for 7, monocolor casting cost, no problimatic upkeep costs? Not bad for, oh, a couple of years. Then large creatures got better.

Its a Vizzerdrix with a more restrictive mana cost and a horrible downside. This card has not aged well.

Maybe if it was 5 mana and had Flample.

Anyway, the idea of a "Mold Demon" is pretty darn cool. Why, him and the Fungusaur are good buddies.

Not sure why this gets so much hate, since games were slower in the past and fatties were badly costed in general, to say the least. At least this doesn't completely wreck you, unlike Cosmic Horror, which keeps you tapped out until it blasts you in the face.

One of the worst cards I've ever seen. For seven mana, you get a 6/6, have to sacrifice 2 swamps, and a card with some of the worst artwork even drawn on it. Seriously, a 3 year old could do better. .5/5

Playable in Shandalar actually. No reason to ramp into lord of the pit on turn two, is there? and those dragons are just going to ice storm your swamps anyway. So this guy aint bad. (in an environment with much worse to be had.)

The moment I saw it, I knew it was from Legends.

I remember this card. The best one I ever had as a child. Back when every powerful creature had either cumulative upkeep, or just spend three mana every turn. A one-time cost was a pretty big deal. Plus he's mono-coloured, as someone already mentioned. I'd never play him now, but those were good times.

This looks like a cracked out cookie monster hellbent on getting revenge on the guy who ate all his cookies.

I've got one that's got mold on it, and it actually looks better than the normal version.

I liked the concept of this card - a fungus demon is kinda cool - but it is nearly useless. However, back in the day it was still poor but not horrible. The only things it had size-wise in black to compete with here: Pit Lord (huge critter with a huge drawback), Cosmic Horror (similar problems), and Nightmare (better overall, but required mono-black). For the time, getting a 6/6 black creature that wouldn't eat your face if something went wrong wasn't bad; by today's standards, this thing is horrid... though still better than Wood Elemental!

Any body else feeling the cookie monster flavor? Swamps=cookies. Plus just look at the picture.

Hahahahaha! Oh snap! It looks like that thing Yukon Cornelius hunted at the North Pole with that elf that wanted to be a dentist and Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer! The Abominable Snow Monster, after getting FLATTENED and becoming road-kill!!

On a serious note, we have yet another fine addition to the Crucible of Worlds deck here folks.. Surely you could do better, but in a deck centered around that, surely you could do much worse!

You could probably pull him off in a g/b Fungus Deck ^^

This art is the predecessor to Look at Me, I'm the DCI. And it's epic.

The artwork is amazing.

Shame about the rather pointless ETB effect, but it is old.

Did I mention the art was amazing?

I don't know about how those who started playing in Magic's early ages thought of this card, but it already would have been ridiculously bad if I had known it back when I started (Seventh Edition).

Art work is perfect for a mold demon.

Fungus Elemental x4
Lotus Cobra x4
Quirion Elves x4

8 Instants
Dark Ritualx4
Crop Rotationx4

1 Sorcery

Utopia Sprawl x4
Rancor x4

4 Artifacts
Crucible of Worlds x4

19 Lands
Verdant Catacombs x4
Overgrown Tomb x4
