I love this! If they take it, they take 1/5th of their life total, but if they block, they likely lose a weenie and an artifact or enchantment! It puts the choice into the opponent's hands, but still an unique and fun ability

Strictly worse version of Trygon Predator. Too costly and inefficient.

Use Swarmyard with this for epic beast mode. Also this art is Godzilla level awesome.

A nice way to maindeck artifact and enchantment hate without having to bend over backwards.

Completely obsoletes Indrik Stomphowler, which makes me sad.

Great P/T and an ability that is relevant more often than not. Good card, and I love the art.

Stomphowler is a CiP effect, this is a "when it's blocked" effect.

It's like a way shittier Trygon Predator. Slap a Lure on it, idk.

I dunno, I tried running Trygon Predator in my mono-green deck and also a red green deck but somehow he just wasn't as good. No idea why.

Between this and battalion, my baton of morale has found many new friends!

I definitely use this in my casual GB deck with Deadly Allure :p

It would be pretty amusing to give this beastie Intimidate if you weren't playing vs. Green. The only way they could block would be with artifact creatures : - /. And this guy should solve that problem.

That's right, folks... Worship rusts.

I have this in my Simic EDH deck and I love how often my opponents choose to let this one through. It's been the decisive stroke of a number of games.

Not the best of cards, but it's big enough and it's ability is good enough that I give it 3.5/5.

Definitely handy to have around, and in a creature heavy deck saves using a card slot for something like a Naturalize instead of a critter.

Rust scarab + infiltration lens + liquimetal coating will give your opponent some serious headache about should he/she block or not. Just to make sure it is really annoying, throw in a triumph of the hordes aswell. You know.. For fun! =)

Significantly more powerful in Theroes. Destroy all the things!
