Should have read: "Put a 4/4 green Beast creature token onto the battlefield unless your opponent is a Jedi."

This card should see play. 5CMC 4/4 with flash that costs 1G less if they played an artifact? Awesome.

4/4 possibly on turn 2-3? Awesome.

Playing a 4/4 baloth for five mana is a little less than average. Playing a 4/4 baloth for two mana is just ridiculous.

If it had said "Put a 4/4 green Beast creature token onto the battlefield unless your opponent is a Jedi." Then you would HAVE to enchant it with a Rancor after. ;D

so what if I had an artifact enter the battlefield under my opponent's control, haha (is there any situation that can be construed as such?)

As has been said before, a 4/4 beast with flash for 5 is good by itself.


That's what I like about Green's token traps- They're respectable plays (particularly in limited) Even if you hardcast 'em.

This card WILL see play in Mirrodin once everyone is running artifacts. This fall is gunna be all about green blue!

my advice: Stock up on these now. If I know mirrodin correctly, there'll be a crapton of artifacts, and tis will be made high quality.

That goblin being used as bait must be thinking "oh sh*t".

One of the best traps, simply because a 4/4 flash beast is often worth playing all by itself, especially in limited.

This doesn't just mess with artifacts, with blue, or with quest for the holy relic decks. This also screws with Kuldotha Rebirth decks.

EDIT: Post Mirrodin Besieged, this isn't going to be as effective against Kuldotha Red, which is dropping 7 bodies on turn 1 thanks to that fun combo with Mox Opal and Kuldotha Rebirth and all of it's little battle cry friends like Signal Pest.

Wait, did you just summon a bunch of monsters in one turn? Thats against the rules isnt it?

Screw the Rules- ITS A TRAP!

(wrong card game I know :P)

We did a Zendikar/Besieged/Besieged draft a while ago because we were bored, and this guy was absolutely hilarious.

@Golly - doesn't work with Jinxed Idol unless they play it. Giving it to them doesn't make it enter the battlefield again, just come under their control.

I love the flavor. This is the best type of trap and I'm glad it found its way into Zendikar. The art is confusing though. I can't tell if the guy is trying to get away or if he is just relaxing and has no idea what is going on.

I think 5 mana is fair considering it has flash. 2 mana is just gravy.

This is one that almost foreshadowed the upcoming Artifact block. Cool to see sideboard play in SOM block

Okay I just have to point this out. The artwork obviously depicts a 4/4 Green Beast named Link, being confronted with one of Ganondorf's many artifact monsters that he leaves in charge of the dungeons.

Kick it's ass, Link!!

Am I the only one who thinks this?
WOW that art
