Okay, Draining Welk, Phyrexian Devourer, Sawtooth Thresher, Tetravus, Triskelion and this are the creatures with p/t 1/1 for CMC 6 in magic as of now. But Nut Collector is the only one who probably stays this way when he enters play.

yes it's mana cost is very high, it's one of those balanced rares wizards releases which ends up just beings bad. it's almost a joke. come on u couldn't have made it a 2/2? a 1/2? a 0/2? something that can't be instantly pinged? he's a rare for petes sake, 6 mana 1/1 is common card cmc. but he does give a 1/1 squirrel every turn, and if i have thresh hold they are 3/3s... oh i get it now. yeah 6 cmc is reasonable, but he should at least be a 1/2 green is known for it's toughness after all

when threshold, you have squirrels of monstrous size!
Awesome card, green has enough mana ramp to get this guy out quickly enough to produce an army of 3/3's in no time. Imagine winning by overrunning your opponent with squirrels^^

Pitiful joke of a card unless you spend a lot of time and effort making him work (and survive), in which case there are a dozen cards that are better and dont require as much energy.

Might be one of the most expensive 1/1s ever printed, held back from the auspicious title only by stuff like Gigantomancer or Scornful Egotist. At least it has squirrel synergy.

This card is too funny to dislike. If you're worried about removal, there's Slagwurm Armor and Snake Umbra.

If you already have Squirrels on the battlefield Nut Collector is an instant +2/+2 to your army (provided you have threshold), then continue to pump out more. Since the pumping only works on Squirrels you have less chance of running into another deck that can benefit from it.

this doesn't seem to have much synergy with cards like acorn harvest which annoys me

I simply can't envision a single squirrel killing a grizzly bear.
If he was revamped for todays powercreeped world, this is what he would look like
Mythic 2GG Generate 1/1 squirrel your upkeep Squirrels get +2/+2 4/4
Rare 3G Generate 1/1 squirrel your upkeep Squirrels get +2/+2 1/4
This was very bad even for its time. For 6 mana, your getting a 1/1, and then a 1/1 on your turn. Threshold is a not so reliable mechanic unless you fix your deck to make it work. Then you would have to fix your deck with ramp to make him work, and you would have a 3/3 generator probably around turn 6 or so. Just to have him eat a zap to the face.
