I'd like to see this guy and Garruk Wildspeaker in a fight.

Well Garruks a planeswalker and Kamahl's a trained barbarian that sat in the forest for a year meditating.
I think it's a blowout.

I think his over run ability is a little over priced but many things in the onslaught block were over priced it was a theme, he would work well in a deck with Jolrael, Empress of beasts, using jolrael to turn all your land into creatures then using kamahl to pump them up, hell throw in Garruk and pump them up more

With enough mana, he's basically a one man army

How is his overrun ability overpriced when it costs the same as the Overrun spell itself, but with the advantages of being usable any time, not using any cards and not being counterable? If anything it's UNDERpriced.

SO much better than when he was red...

A very green legend. My nomination for the next green core set legend. Don't forget his ability can be used at instant speed so if they pyroclasm all your tiny creatures on their turn, pump them up with Kamahl in response.
The best hero from the magic storyline, this guy destroyed a goddess and set in motion the events that would alter the planeswalker spark to what it is today. Went from red to green, did all kinds of things with the mirari and he killed a lot of creatures. Seriously, he killed a lot of creatures.

This guy makes for a fun and devastating EDH general. He gives you a reliable Overrun source (at instant-speed) which let's you base your deck around him.
PLUS!: Punish your opponents for Wrath of God-effects by keeping some green mana open to turn their lands into vulnerable 1/1's. All of the sudden nobody will want to Earthquake, Mutilate, Evacuate, Day of Judgement...

Combos well with Kamahl, Pit Fighter (they don't cancel each other out, don't worry), because this guy can make their lands 1/1 and Kamahl, Pit Fighter blows them up. Of course, this guy combos with any red pinger.

This is nice. If RDW tries to Earthquake, you can kill their mana base if you have enough untapped lands.
I think for the purposes of card advantage and balancing, the overrun ability should either cost more or involve him tapping to produce the effect. Otherwise, this version of Kamahl is much better than the red version; Kamahl, Pit Fighter has become irrelevant.
I don't know which Fist of Krosa I like better for my general: Baru, or Kamahl?

@paslode3: i was unaware that Jeska had Plainswalk. Totally missed that part of the card. Oh wait...you meant PLANESwalker, right? Yeah, you did. Why don't you READ THE GODDAMN TEXT. Ugh...that's one of my pet peeves. Seriously. L2 use correct terminology.

@Ratoly: Before you post any comment, I suggest you know what you are commenting on before you develop a smug sense of superiority. Read my comment again and realize that there is nothing wrong with the "terminology" Quote: Jeska had a plainswalker spark, which is something inside very few people who have the potential to ascending into a plainswalker.
Additionally, if you think that I am simply referring to Jeska the card, I suggest you do research that goes beyond to just reading cards. The entire MTG series are based on novels and anthologies published by HarperPrism and Wizards of the Coast. Go *** yourself.
@Paslode: You used the term "Plainswalker" where you should have used "Planeswalker". That is wrong terminology.
Oh, and the novels and anthologies are based on the game, not the other way around.

This guy is the power of my Druid deck, the best deck in my playgroup. By the time I drop him I have enough mana to Overrun, so he laughs at burn, and many times he doesn't even have to swing with the crowd to finish the game. Combine with Llanowar Druid and you can get a whole lotta Overruns. I've once managed a thousand point swing even after my opponent Traumatize/Haunting Echoes'd me. Solid 5/5

His flavor text combos quite nicely with his power/toughness total.
@Temple_Garden if they pyroclasm and you have 5 green mana open, forget saving my little creatures, they're losing 5 lands.

My favourite green legend. Apart from the usual kill-all-their-lands hijinx, I like this as a Mossbridge Troll enabler. Kamahl and one mana dork can send that 28/28 tramply auto-regenerating troll barrelling towards a very sad opponent. 5/5
