mmmm, the art is awfully similar (on a rapid pass, based solely on color scheme) to Strangleroot Geist. I'm going to be frequently disappointed shuffling through the cheap bin at my local card shop.
I was actually a bit surprised to see that there are almost no common 5/5 for 4G green cards... I guess this is, therefore, as good as many other awful green vanilla creatures, but only on your turn. Otherwise, even durkwood boars outclasses it

I'm fairly certain a 5/5 for 4G without any drawbacks wouldn't have been too overpowered--especially since in the previous set Hollowhenge Beast, a 5/5 for 3GG, was printed and saw little play outside of Limited. I just see no reason whatsoever to give this card such a harsh drawback.

I think somebody forget to add the undying on this one, R&D should be notified immediately.

Me when this card is on the field:
"It's my turn! It gets a boost! Yay!" "oh, it's your turn... it loses the boost... aww..." "yay!" "aww..." "yay!" "aww..." "yay!" "aww..." "yay!" "aww..." "yay!" "aww..."...
and so on and so on...

This lets you see the actual edge of common green creatures. {3}{G}{G} for 5/5, {4}{G} gets you a 5/4, or a part-time 5/5.

How about it gets +2/+2 just because you paid 5 damn mana for it?

how......disappointing. Could've just been 5/5 for 5. or if it got +3/+2, then it'd actually be decent.

It's a common! Stop expecting rare quality from a common card!!!

A 5/5 for 5 in green isn't good. A situationally 5/5 for 5 in green is just terrible.

Because green just needed a simplified Homarid variant so bad. I'm with everybody else in saying that this is a sucky disappointment and barely even Limited fodder.
