And the new guildmages start appearing, now in gold and with multicolored abilities! The first ability looks like the most useful one, allowing a big creature to punch through unhindered. The second ability, if you have the mana for it, looks good for a getting the most out of a creature that's about to be killed - and you may get to scavenge it! The Golgari fit perfectly into the "waste not" philosophy of life.

Cant wait to use the second ability on a grave troll after a lot more creatures are in my graveyard. Get a lot of saps, dredge him back up (really tempted to swap in a psychotrope thallid for some fun, sac based dredging) and play him bigger.

Mmm.. the whole Golgari deck is fundsworthy, is my favorite color combo anyway, and this is probably undercosted for all it can do. There are a lot of possibilities for this outside the deck, too: powerful, well supported tribe, easily splashable in two colors, and a token generator. So much for just 2 mana. Great card if you like multiple uses - and who doesn't?

Interestingly both abilities work against each other. The first ability needs to to have a lot of large creatures while the second ability lets you get rid of them... Both are very GB, but each seems to go into a different deck?

The first ability does not need to have large creatures and there's something called a second mainphase.
