This was obviously named by a Mirran. A true Phyrexian would have named it "Perfect Leonin."

IMO Lost Leonin sounds cooler than Compleated Leonin.

I'm sort of ***ed that this and one another card I fail to remember are the only two white creatures with infect in New Phyrexia.
I think.

Phyrexia sure knows how to desecrate noble lives, turning them into unfeeling rag dolls. What horror.

I love the art (former player) and the card feels like it wants some Emerge Unscathed and other protection cards to slip in those poison counters.
@MrBarrelRoll This isn't a 4/1. A 4/1 can kill creatures with a toughness of 4.

This is essentially a bit stronger than a 4/1, assuming Proliferate shenanigans.

I love the art. This is pretty subjective, of course, but it looks to me like this is the moment he realized what he had become before losing whatever sense of self it had.

Not sure if I want this'n in my Cat deck. It'd be the only infect creature therein, though I can only imagine the shenanigans if I manage to get him out with an activated Raksha Golden Cub.

They named it "Lost Leonin" because Wizards thought it would be funny for people to put up "lost cat" signs in their neighborhoods with this guy's picture on them.

Ah, finally, we have some nice use out of our 2-drop infect range. I think Wizards was being FAR too cautious around it.

it seems like wizard made a almost cycle of these. 1/1 infectors with a color variant. blue gets unblockable, black gets flying, white gets more power, and green gets a 1/1 cheaper tehn the others. red, i don't know what red gets. red just sits out and cries.

"Hey there little kitty. Are you lost little fel - - OH SWEET JEESUS!"
Seriously, though, it's a very decent card. I'd have no problem running four in a basic white-ish infect deck.

A riddle: You are playing a goldfish, on each turn you play a basic land, you may cast one creature in total, and cannot use the land for anything other than casting the creature. What is the fastest that you can kill your opponent? This kills your opponent turn 7, as can Slith Firewalker and Woolly Thoctar. Is anything faster than turn 7? There are at least three shades that can do it by turn 6 if you allow use of the land. But is there another way to get under 7?

@Kiseki Tempting Wurm kills your opponent on turn six, assuming your opponent is as stupid as a goldfish and doesn't drop anything that will stop it.
Aside from all that, I like this card, though it doesn't get as much love as the others due to a lack of evasion. That is fixable though, I could see a straight white infect using things like armored ascension.

As a stand alone creature not particularly dangerous. However, First turn. Reveal a Chancellor of the tangle to get one green mana. Play a plains and lost leonin turn one. Second turn. if he's unfortunate to have no creatures on his first turn assuming you go first, two invigorates. 10/9 infect you win. Even if he goes second, if he doesn't have a creature its over.

I am not a fan of infect, unless I dedicate my deck to winning with poison counters. To me its a waste of time going for two win conditions.

@TheWrathofShane: Wow, did you come up with that on your own, or did one of your friends tell that to you after a failed deck?
Of course you shouldn't mix infect and non-infect. Literally anyone could tell you that.
