Is it just me, or is this card clearly showing a Giant intercepting a steam train (thingie)?

A 2R casting cost for a 4/1 that can't block, is not that bad. Just remember to always attack with it early if you can. At the very least, it will probley blow up your opponents creature when they try to block it. Compared to all the other red cards that are out there however...it's not really a tournament staple card. 3/5

Craven Knight sucks. Dis' ain't that bad cuz 4/1 is usually for attacking right?

So maybe 1.5/5, still prefer Lightning Elemental.

This card remains me about one thing I've wondered a long time:

Why does Portal has a symbol that doesn't look like portal at all and why does Stronghold has a symbol that looks like a portal?

"Intercept"?

Who wrote this guy's card text? Shakespeare?

"When thou playest said creature Craven Giant, thou must remembereth that it may not intercept..."

@ipsilont No, but some flavor texts are. Intercept means block. Don't you watch football?

Actually, I've never heard such proverb. The only similar proverb that comes in mind is "La miglior difesa è l'attacco" that means "The best defence is the attack"...

The card itself, is not so bad, quite fragile, but not unlike a lot of other red creatures. Now it's also a Giant, so this makes one of the cheapest giant manawise... I may give it a try, if I had a Giant Deck. And by Giant Deck I don't mean one made of 300 cards, obviously...!

3.5/5
