Got them in a blue-green River Kelpie deck, and love them there. Also a good card for multiplayer games. Easy to play there, annoying to remove, and people dislike attacking you, since they don't want their guys to be weakened.

This card ruins the long-standing tradition of trolls regenerating. Persist just isn't the same.

This card was SO close to being great. If only it had a bit more P/T or a bit less cost. It's a decent blocker, but at 3 cost, not going to be put into any constructed deck, except possibly a dedicated Necroskitter/Heartmender deck.

Interesting to note that this and Golgari Grave-Troll are the only trolls in the history of Magic not to have some sort of regeneration ability attached. Though they both have a built-in recursion that acts much the same.

I don't understand why people don't like this card, this thing is great. 3 manna for a 2/2 is alright, and with wither and persist it's something your opponent really doesn't wanna see dropped. sure it's not as good as kitchen finks or boggart ram-gang, but it's like their illegitimate child. simple and useful. it's especially nice to have some persist in BG with all the sacrifice going on. art's kinda cool too
@HairlessThoctar Golgari Grave-Troll has regen, it's (1, remove a +1/+1 counter)

it's DEFINITELY an illegitimate child of Kitchen Finks and Boggart Ram-Gang.
persist from the Finks and wither from the goblin. :D
