Cutie! But the ability seems pretty black, and is rather narrow too. It's just 2/2, they can probably block or kill it if their graveyard contains something important. And it's just creatures - sometimes you want to get rid of a noncreature card too.

This card is one that really sucked when Homelands came out, but now has more use. With all the blocks that have graveyard abilities (such as Threshold), this card's playability has gone up.
Still only mediocre though.

That's one angry badger. I wouldn't go near that thing.

Please reprint as a common in M11!!!

If we were going to see a reprint of this in M11, it would lack the "if you do, ~ deals no combat damage this turn" clause most likely, since this is an outdated restriction. Wizards noticed that having a simple ability that gets triggered when a creature is unblocked is normally nothing to worry about even if the combat damage is still dealt. I also only remember Ophidian being a playable creature of that sort...

Decent sideboard against a threshold and/or reanimation deck. Only one in the casting cost means you can stick it into a multi-color deck and support its ability with other spells.

I think people are missing the most important part of this card - that this little guy will kill you, eat you, and then play your skull like a drum. If this is reprinted, I want to see this art again.

Win condition/body doubling as sideboard hate against Survival which also gains life. Wow. I'd play this online... but alas it is not there. BROKEN.

They still hadn't quite gotten over the "give up your combat damage to use your ability" nonsense from Fallen Empires, apparently.

Seriously guys, the art is of a BADGER using a SKULL as a DRUM.
Anyway, another little sleeper card which isn't really powerful but can be used well today. Whispersilk Cloak, and let him go nomming!
Too bad about the loss of combat damage though... Later, they did the opposite, the creatures had to successfully deal damage to actually trigger the effects...

Someone at Wizards must have been mad this was on the Reserved List. And so Scavenging Ooze was born.

This card is the only legal card that will show up if you do a text search for "bad ass."

Heather Hudson awakes. Rubs eyes. Starts pot of coffee. Shuffles to bathroom. Brushes teeth. Checks email. The rest is known only to the Elder Gods... Are we all Rysorian Badgers?
