They see me trollin', they hatin'.

I feel like regenerate on a common doesn't really fit NWO. Even experienced players mess that up..

whats wrong with savage silhouette

Really wish they reprinted Dungrove Elder along with this. One of my favorite combos to run.

Bonesplitter included

@gamemaker443: This is flavorfully cooler than Savage Sihouette. In M14 it looks like they did a cycle of "make your own monster" enchantments for each color that gives enchanted creature the abilities of a well-known or influential creature of that color.
This turns your creature into a troll, example Skyshroud Troll.
Red has Shiv's Embrace, which turns a creature into a Shivan Dragon
Black has Mark of the Vampire, which turns your creature into one of the various lifelinking vampire, I would guess Vampire Outcasts
Blue has Illusionary Armor which turns your creature into one of the powerful Illusion creatures, like Illusionary Servant
White is kind of tougher to see becuase the two possibilities Blessing and Divine Favor don't really give an iconic bonus. I guess you could say Blessing turns a creature into a Shade of Trokair, but that is really basically a colorshifted card from Time Spiral. Divine Favor is a mirror version of a black card, but I guess you could say Divine Favor turns your creature into Tireless Missionaries, but that card is not iconic and I think most players would prefer to forget that disappointment of a card. I would probably say Blessing is White's part of the cycle, but it is less defined than the rest the cycle.

@ Xycolian

There are two troll cards with hexproof, both of which are ascetics (Troll Ascetic, Thrun, the Last Troll).

There is one troll without Regen, Rendclaw Trow. And that still comes back. So yeah, this is Trollhide.

Roll tide, Trollhide!

@DaLucaray - Yes, but look at troll ascetic and the fact that it was the reason "hexproof" used to be called "troll shroud". It was iconic enough that it made it's way into magic slang. Could you really blame someone for thinking that something called "trollhide" should give hexproof after knowing that?

@DaLucaray - Not to mention that the green card that gives all your creatures "trollshroud" is named... Asceticism.

So being a Troll doesn't grant "trollshroud". Being an ascetic does. "Asceticshroud" doesn't roll off the tongue so well, though.

4/5. In standard, mono-green has exactly two permanents that can regenerate a creature: Experiment One and this. Unless you're playing Green-Black, those are your choices. This is a KEY card to any standard deck that is two-colored, green and some non-black color, IF it is creature-based AND it wants to keep its creatures around after Supreme Verdict. It's hard to imagine not having 1 or 2 of these in your 75 if you have such a deck. At it's best: against aggro, you have an impossible-to-deal with blocker; against control, you have an impossible-to-deal with attacker. On a Witchstalker or Gladecover Scout, this thing is incredibly effective at keeping a body on the battlefield.
