Shame it's not blocked or becomes blocked. he would become the living turbofog.

As it is, totally useless. Basically a 4/2 defender without reach. Lame.

I think the idea here is to force your opponent to let the Fogbeast through if they want to dispatch that other attacker with their standing troops RIGHT NOW...

That may be true, but the odds of that are pretty low. In almost every case, what would the defender have to lose by blocking? I know there are exceptions, but most of the time this is a useless card.

I think the idea is to kill all their blockers with removal and have a bargain attacker. Still not great, though.

Trade him away with Bazaar Trader or Donate, then slap on something that makes him attack each turn. Turbofog combo, but still, there are easier ways to turbofog.

Looks like it fell down the ugly tree and hit every branch along the way. But seriously, it was alright in draft, if you happened to also draft taunting elf or contested cliffs

This creature's value plummets so much when your opponent plays his or her first blocking creature. Johnny-style shenanigans aside, this card is just dead more often than it's useful.

I think the point with this guy is cheep damage. 4 power for three. use in combination with Llanowar elves and hes even cheeper. combine with taunting elf and he wont be blocked.
Still not a great card but good for cheep monsters now.

Useful against a creatureless deck, along the lines of Phyrexian Negator
It could be combined with Lacolliths . There aren't exactly that many of the them though.

I thought this was an incredible card at first. Then I noticed it was only when it becomes blocked. I still like it, only because it was one of my very first cards.
Out of the mists comes the dreaded call of the fearsome fogbeast...

At least it has a pretty cool illustration.

"Weird to use for sure, but I gave him a 3; possibly a 3.5 or 4 for combo potential with anything that triggers on attackers. I'm thinking Cyclops Gladiator type cards. Imagine Red/Green control or so, if they block this guy, they can't kill the annoying attackers that keep killing their creatures. If they don't block this guy, it's 4+ they have to eat damage wise."
What about Druid's Repository? Load up on tokens, get trample on something, slap a Bear Umbra on your Fogbeast(s) and swing. They either take a ton of damage, or spare your tokens and either way your Repository is charged for that Biomass Mutation in your hand that's ready to drop whenever you decide it's time to lay off with the Fogbeast and win.

At first i read "Leeroy Fogbeast" :D This would even make sense: it has much power, but if it recklessly runs in, your entire attack is screwed.
You can give Leery Jenkins a Laccolith Rig to make sure it hits for four and survives. But the other party members (a.k.a. attacking creatures) still won't like him much :P
"Shame it's not blocked or becomes blocked. he would become the living turbofog." @thaviel: He'd also become the heavily broken turbofog if his ability triggered when he blocks :P This would be comparable to an upgraded green Ghostly Prison/Propaganda on legs that you could always use as 4/2 beatstick just in case your opponent shouldn't have any creatures.
"Trade him away with Bazaar Trader or Donate, then slap on something that makes him attack each turn. Turbofog combo, but still, there are easier ways to turbofog." @Tovaras: Most certainly. Simply use Dawnstrider, and something for an extra card each turn like Mind's Eye if you want to do anything besides discarding your last card drawn ;)

Aww, how cute, but I've got a Meglonoth, mr fogbeast. How sad is you be cause the 'loth smashed yer boss in the face. Or does yer ability stop my 'loth from triggering? I doubt it, cause it states he's just gotta block and the damage part of combat is inconsequential. If so, I'll need Wall of Nets, Wall of Tears or somethin fancy schmancy.

How to properly use Leery Fogbeast: Play Leery Fogbeast, then enchant him with Lure. Play Beastmaster's Ascension and safely attack with as many creatures as you like every turn to quickly accumulate seven counters. Now all your creatures have +5/+5, and you didn't lose a single one of them in the process.
