Now, if it cost G and gave trample... it still wouldn't be playable.

This guy and Aura Gnarlid really like each other.

A fun card that can get dangerous quickly and helps virtually any creature with evasion. At 3CC, it is very splashable.

I like it. But after ten years I'm still confused why Wizards didn't use +1/+1 counters instead. I find it funny that when you lose Momentum, you make a full stop.

Plus, that is a charging hippo. For that alone, I forgive anything and everything Wizards ever does wrong. Wizards could charge $10 a pack and replace all the rares with Storm Crow... as long as there's a charging hippo in the set, we'd be cool.

@Brazz_Herald - If I recall, the sets surrounding Urza's block had quite a fun time of moving enchantments around. Putting +1/+1 counters on an enchantment would just be bizarre (beyond animating an enchantment, then putting +1/+1 counters on it, that is...).

Would be better in all respects EXCEPT flavour if it granted +1+1 counters.

This card is actually terrible. Try Forced Adaptation.

Probably not the most broken card in Urza's Destiny...
