a 5 power for four is traditional and usually good. only drawback here is multiple colors and colored mana cost, but it has a little added bonus as well.

This card is cheap for what it does and is even a good fighter. Awesome.

If you had a Mycoid Shepherd out and another creature with power 5 (example: Wooly Thoctar) in play and someone used Wrath of god or day of judgment, Would you gain 10 life? Or just 5 from Mycoid Shepherd?

Everyone thinks this is weak, but if it were printed a couple of years ago it would have been deemed overpowered, thanks a lot creature power creep...

Gotta love that death insurance. I love any card that gives me something in return for one of my creatures getting killed.

4cmc for a 5/4 is reason enough to like this guy. The removal deterrent is naught but delicious gravy.

I like this! It's similar in flavor and casting cost to Obstinate Baloth, which I also like. With creatures like Birds of Paradise this would easily be playable in an otherwise all-green deck with the other 5-power beasts.

5/4 for 4 with a positive ability? I mean, just looking at it's P/T shows that it's pretty good. And I know that pure lifegain is usually not something to get excited about, but 5 life repeatable is nothing to laugh at.

It says right there, "If Mycoid Shepherd and another creature you control with power 5 or greater are put into a graveyard from the battlefield at the same time, Mycoid Shepherd's ability will trigger twice."

This comes out turn two with 2 Forest, an arbor elf and a utopia sprawl. It looks good in a GW flier acceleration deck at the critical 4-drop slot even though it has lots of competition, and isn't a flier.

Idkn, but sometimes I wonder if Mycoid Shepherd is somehow a long lost relation to the Eldrazi. A kazillion years ago, Eldrazi didn't used to be plane-bound to Zendikar, so this is a possibility- though a very faint one.

Don't think it works with the Shepherd itself, but it makes Momentous Fall even more tasty in big dudes deck when you sac other creatures.

@DarthParallax: ...Question. Are you stupid? Do you not understand what Alara was? This is a Naya card. Naya is about 5 or more power. That's their deal. Ignoring the fact that all major Eldrazi are 7 and up, not 5, and that if you looked at basically ANY other green, red, or white card in the set you would've noticed that the "power 5 or greater" clause came up a lot, but the Eldrazi DON'T USE WHITE, and HAVEN'T VISITED ALARA.

Has anyone even caught on that if you have 2 on the board and they both die at the same time to a board wipe that's a simultaneous life gain insurance of 20? They both have double triggers - Think about it. That's one of the reasons I love this card.

DoragonShinzui, why such hostility? Granted DarthParallax says some strange things, but no need to be so harsh. Especially on this comment. He is just posing a hypothetical flavor-related question. You are talking about card mechanics/block mechanics. He did not say it WAS Eldrazi, but merely imagining that it was some how related. No need to get all butt hurt about fanstasy lore anyway. So what if Eldrazi don't use , and never "actually" been to Alara. At the end of the day, all of it is fiction anyway, so who is to say (other than MaRo) whether or not the Naya beasts are long lost relations to Eldrazi? You need to turn the dial back some, man....
