Yaaaay foreverblocker. "Oh, you're attacking with a 16/16 monstrosity? This thing is now a 1/17. Sit down."

If you can give this deathtouch, it'd be a major deterrent for opponents.

I'd be surprised if I found a better card in Legends. This has use even today, where there are a million cards that could combo with it. For some reason, Heal the Scars is the first to come to mind, because it could save it if your opponent tries to Bolt it. Also, if it dies, you could use Morbid Bloom to make a saproling garden (because the effect is indefinite, it lasts in the graveyard).

Gotta love something that can block Marit Lage. And if you're being attacked by a huge creature of any sort, you could block it, then cast Transmutation and Soul's Fire.

@ Weretarrasque: Mana Drain. That is all.

Also @ Weretarrasque: when the creature goes into the graveyard, it loses effects like toughness changes. For example, a Clone in the graveyard is a 0/0.

This is the best card from the legends set, bar none. there is no better blocker than this.

Everyone forgot about char-rumbler? That's unfortunate, I like him

Now there is a Commander deck with Doran as the commander in the wizards daily decklist stuff. Whoever made that deck was an idiot for not including this card. 5/5 for combos

Oh cool, doesn't end at the end of turn, meaning it'll be harder to burn if they can't do it almost immediately.

Why hasn't this been reprinted since Chronicles? Come on, Rosewater (sorry to single you out, but you are the Goebbels of WotC).

@Narf: To be fair, I don't get how is Sentinel at all necessary in this combo. Darksteel + Entangler would allow you to block infinite creatures even if you put it on a Raging Goblin.
