A 1/4 wall that you can attack with simply by having him get -0/-3. Good deal for 2 mana. And if something gives creatures you control vigilance...

I don't like how the solid common creatures all have terrible card ratings, the above-the-curve bombs are the only things better than 3 stars it seems. Well listen people, your decks aren't going to be made entirely of 4-5 star worthy creatures so you better start appreciating the the workhorse two drops that keep your ass alive!

If you think this card is worth only two stars than please explain to me now because this guy is pivotal in bringing a blue player to the late game where they want to be.

Well Tommy, the thing is, 1. 3/5 is a good rating (0.5 demented, 1 unplayable, 2 bad but playable, 3 good, 4 great, 5 must-have at all costs) and 2. This is not good. It just isn't good. You have so many more two drop options, heck, just run Mana Leaks or at least Plated Seastriders.

@Tommy9898:
Because not everyone likes Limited.

Because workhorse 2-drops in real formats include Bob and Tarmogoyf.

Because your life total is less useful than card advantage.

@DacenOctavio

But a limited card should reflect its rating. And your definition of "real formats" is stupid.

I was wondering if magic featured any turtles. Now I know.
