Definately the best of the 3 non-green Forestwalkers. Still needs to be at least 3/4 to be playable.

Despite it being so terrible, it might just be the best non-changeling serpent ever made.

@A3Kitsune: l disagree with you. I believe the Boggart Loggers are slightly better than this Serpent.

Because when you're playing against green and using blue/black a flyer isnt gonna get through.

It always amazes me how brutally horrible Wayne England's art is.

@ Drewsel: it's not actually bad, it's more that he used to recycle the same tongue-sticking-out-to-the-left creature on all his monsters. He's stopped doing that, which is a good thing.

Urborg Drake is in the same set. It's the same size and is about as likely to be blocked by a green deck as the serpent here, but for one mana less. It's not bad but it's not that great, either, so... yeah, this fella leaves a fair bit to be desired. Blue and black were a very powerful combination in Invasion, so I wish they had some better gold creatures.

Oh yeah, and Vodalian Zombie. Same set, common, half as much mana as the serpent, same power, still unblockable against green. Oh yeah, and it could block Blastoderm and live. What were they thinking?

...What? This is... really terrible. And it doesn't make much sense either.

Actually, it appears to wind its way through the underbrush much more easily than the shallows.

@Tommy9898

Tolarian Serpent is totally a good serpent (in a graveyard-based deck).
