{blinks a few times} Um...I can see "true nature" being willing to rip faces off (THREAT DETECTED! ABOLISH! ABOLISH!), but wearing skins as trophies? THAT one doesn't sound too natural to me, unless nature as green usually knows it is actually a latecomer compared to the Utmungr/Utukki, and THEY dealt in that.

Gruul is my favorite color combo in Magic but this card is bland by every definition.

This is awesome. Moorland Inquisitor was a high pick in AVR limited and this gal is just as good.

It's a bear with conditional first strike. At least it's better than all those vanilla 2/2s.

Obligatory comment about the art. Other than that, solid Limited pick if you're drafting Gruul.

Something's gonna be getting torn off, all right. My guess is it's her clothes.

i always seem to enjoy new grizzly bear replacements... idk why. maybe because i still love the idea of a 2/2 for 2 mana + and ability as a viable card. i.e. Izzet Guildmage

This *** caused me so much hassle at the prerelease.

This lovely lady won me three games at the prerelease, once by blocking a Spark Trooper controlled by someone who forgot about her first strike, and twice by being bloodrushed by a Wrecking Ogre.

Gruul definitely got the best art in the set.

Friends, that's the MEANEST cowlick I've ever seen!! Can you even imagine how much product it would take just to make it budge?!? O_O

Is her weapon of choice a nod towards Garruk's weapon? Wonderful bit of hidden flavour there. And speaking of flavour, I absolutely love that flavour text. A solid card at common as well. This is an excellent card. She could straddle me anytime...

She was a decent average card to play in the prerelase. No one really cared/paid attention to the optional first strike which made it that much more fun. And its X-23 in Savage Land how great is that!

Not bad for limited. But bad everywhere else.

Gruul gets a "bear" with first strike capabilities and savage hotness.

Damn, I love this guild.

I don't know where this X-23 business is coming from. She's pretty clearly inspired by Machiko Noguchi from AVP. There's more to the image then just her claw. Which isn't from inside her skin and much more like the predator blade. Along with the Improvised armour and the fact she's Green and a jungle fighter. Its pretty fair to say its a reference to Machiko.
