Perhaps the inspiration for Broodmate Dragon?

Does anyone else think this guy would have been quite playable if not for that last ability?

Stangg, the legend so nice, you play him twice.

I remember how Inquest magazine once stated that Stangg killed himself via "the legend rule" (it wasn't called that back then, but whatever). It's hard to believe that a magazine that featured Magic content so heavily could be so clueless as to the actual workings of the game. The writers at Inquest were legendary for their ignorance.

Two 3/4s for 6 was a pretty good deal back when this was printed.

Needs errata to allow commander damage with the twin.
Would be flavorful and neat.

The most amusing thing about this guy is that, besides Crib Swap, he is currently the only guy capable of producing Human Tokens.
Human tribal EDH deck with Stangg as my general, here I go!

Rules text reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh for some reason.

Why is he RedGreen? He looks Black to me, he's even got the skull decorations! Legends was a weird set.

@Trygon+Predator; why on earth would skull decorations lead you to think he should be Black, as opposed to R/G? While black's mana-symbol is traditionally a skull, and it does deal a lot with death and decay, Red AND Green are both known for being predatory and/or shamanistic, both of which tend to deal with skulls, bones, and blood.

But yeah, legends was a weird set, and I could definitely see him being black.

Notable for being the only guy in the multiverse that has been told to suck on it.

My friends love this card just because it's Stangg, but none of them play it in any of their decks XD

two 3/4 for 6 mana, and they both die to one doom blade.
3.5/5

Pretty unique for its time and bizarrely on-color, for Legends. The Stangg Twin bury clause sucks, but it provides flavor. Gemini Engine is a direct homage, while Broodmate Dragon and Armada Wurm are less direct, but in the same vein. I could imagine that this card's coolness factor is probably higher than all of them, though and was probably a lot of people's favorite cards, back in the Legends era.

why are all the comments so positive? he's not that good (currently). i'd never play him in constructed.

Like Gemini Engine, except this card allows you to use the token when blocking. Also, this card is harder to destroy. Gemini Engine is better for decks that build around it, and Stangg is better for most red-green decks that can pay for him.
Please correct me if you disagree.
