It was odd, when Mirrodin block came out, to see this and Brown Ouphe suddenly jump from irritating trash to casual and limited breakout stars... yet strangely gratifying.

Card of the Day - Monday, February 11, 2002
For a period of time following the release of the Revised set in 1994, more copies of Atog existed than any other card beside basic lands.

This guy has always been fairly decent, it was nice seeing him come back in a later editon. Works very well with artifact token generators.

Atog loves him some artifacts. Although it looks like it's having a bad effect on his teeth.

Hey, what are you doing, Wizards. You just made him extremely playable for a period of time. That's not what we want Atog for....

It did live up to it's flavor text back in Mirrodin. At least until everyone replaced him for Arcbound Ravager.

Nice, he finally found a home. I wonder if we will see something from his family during the third set of SOM? I hope so, he is fun to draft and fits red's style on Mirrodin perfectly.

I'm sad that New Phyrexia doesn't have a corrupted version of this, just with infect. :(

I would've loved that! It could've taken Barrage Ogre's place and nobody would have cared...
Maybe it's cos {R} didn't get Infect until New Phyrexia, and even then only 3 cards got it?
