despite the lack of 5 power matters ability, this card has been one of my favorites. At 6 mana, you can put it right in play, use it, and then block with it on the same turn. It reminds me of lightning elementals, except lightning elementals only had 1 toughness and were a 4 mana cast. Bull cerodons are way better, providing you with an instant blocker and attacker. Another big benefit, is if you are playing mayael the anima you can use her ability to put it on the field then attack with it immediately. A pretty basic, but really solid card.

As much as I wish he had trample as well, I think if he had it this card would be completely broken, or would've had to have been made a rare, or both. As it stands, it's still a remarkably simple yet effective card.

Eh...it's okay. Cerodon Yearling is better for me.

I am really fascinated by this card and its younger counterpart, Cerodon Yearling. Both cards are simple and yet effective, however; I really wish that Wizards would have just made its converted cost 3RW. At 6cc and under I think both red and white may have better resources, and paying 6 for a creature that has no form of evasion and can be chump blocked is a tiny bit underwhelming when considering the opponent's possible threats on turn six (assuming that you are still alive by then, that is). Additionally, it would have truly made this card and Cerodon Yearling a “pair” when concerning their converted mana cost, abilities, power/cc ratio, and etc. Overall though, this is still a good card for what it does.

My God Wizards! You have realy earned your name here! this is sutch a beutifull, elegant card from top to bottom! This is my first coment here, but you certantley earned it! the desighners, flavour txt dudes and the artist all deserve a pat on the back for a team effort, makeing the overall feel of this card a single, cohesive mesage, whitch reads "im soo big, and soo fast!" who cares about the high (but fair) mana cost?
If i had a complaint it would be that i onley own one!
for now... h.

@Valakri2040 . . Dude your trippin man this is good already if it was only 5cmc then it would be too good. Or at least it would have been maybe tournament worthy. I think it's fine where its at.

i like ceradon yearling better. the haste and vigilance combo is most affective at the beginning when your opponent doesnt have anythingto block with so u can get a quick shot at their throat. by turn 6 theyll just chump block this guy or remove him. if he had trample it would be better

Works well in a Boros deck, good luck fighting an 8/8 trampling vigilance

It's big, its abrasive and its in your face. I like it, try this with Glory Of Warfare and watch it pull double duty

A fatty in two colors that's not used to fatties (not counting Angels). Although it does have haste and vigilance, the size of the beast makes me think that there ought to be some green mana in there somewhere. I'm not complaining though - I'm happy that I can use this card in Boros colors.

Me: I attack you with a 5/5.
My friend: What 5/5?
*I pay 6, drop Bull Cerodon*
Me: This one.
*He pays 2, casts Flashfreeze*
My friend: Again, what 5/5?
*I pay 1, answer with Guttural Response*
Me: The one over there, are you blind?
Feels good, man XD

OK people. I like this card. Vigilance + haste is a lovely red white combo of abilities, attacking and blocking from the get-go. It's elegantly simple and a worthy creature.
But before my 3.5/5, this was rated higher than Inferno, Frost, and even Primeval Titan. This is a 5/5 that does nothing but attack and block for the same cost.

I've got a 60-card deck using Naya colors. I was thinking about this card. I decided that this card might be worth using in a Boros-colored deck, but for a Naya-colored deck, I'd rather transform one of the colorless mana in the cost to a green mana and play Meglonoth. Meglonoth doesn't have the Haste, but Meglonoth doesn't need it. For 6, it's just a much better creature in most circumstances.
(As I referred to above, the Cerodon may be better in Boros-flavored decks, which, with more Red than Naya, probably have more Haste/burn type stuff, and can probably benefit much more than Naya from a 5/5 with Haste.)

I like it. Should have been 4/4 vigilance, haste, 3RW so it would fit in with Serra Angel and Sentinel Spider. I guess it might have been too easy to cascade into though.
