Well Vorinclex, i would say this is in need of some further evolution.

Vorinclex has no plan for the future of phyrexia, just the natural evolution of his minions, and this is what he has to show for it. Somehow I think he won't be taking over anytime soon...

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I was raised on the belief that for vanilla dorks, the formula for a casting cost should never exceed that set forth by this formula:

Power + toughness divided by two.

Ergo, this should be 4cmc.

I dont think it deserves such a low rating - its unusable in Constructed, but its gonna see play in Limited, Dinosaurs are pretty popular strategy already

Shall we agree that this is strictly better than Nema Siltlurker?

Won't see play in limited dinos since there are already so many much, much better dinos in the block. Hell, even red got one with their Beta Tyrannax.

When I saw the name, I thought of my ex-girlfriend's crotch.

I don't think I like these new Phyrexians as much as the old Phyrexians. The old ones were a lot cuter. E.g. Phyrexian Gremlins

It's just an expensive vanilla dork.

No bigger insult to magic players than printing vanilla creatures (why shouldn't the creatures you use in draft have abilities? Vanilla is the worst concept ever, I hope it's a last resort cause of closing deadline thing).

Maybe you should have had a plan? Vorinclex?

I have two foil Goblin Dirigibles and I couldn't be happier with them.

The oil did its own work, evolving creatures into worthy predators... however, this is not one of them.

I wish every vanilla creature had this much flavor. Then vanilla creatures could be cool in their own way and less of a downer.

Moss Monster was overpriced and useless all the way back in Legends, and creatures have generally gotten a lot cheaper since then. What on earth were they thinking?
