use this in a deck and combo it with disciple of the vault in legacy or vintage play to give megatog +3+3 and trample for each artifact you sac and each artifact sac will also do one damage with disciple of vault.
play a bunch of low casting cost artifacts and those 2 creatures and you will end the game with some big hurt

The combos surrounding this card, ESPECIALLY with four disciples of the vault are crazy good and crazy fun! but there are SO many, is isn't even funny. add a pentavus in for extra artifacts, and that's just the beginning. My favorite card would have to be the nuisance engine becauseit just bangs out pests for your megatog to devour and, with a discple or four, it doesn't take much to wind down your oppenents life total. Theoretically, you don't even have to swing with a megatog, you just have to eat things with it. This creature is true a beast!

@Mudbutt_on: Yes, because no one ever played Psychatog.

Block was basically a battle between this, Arc-Slogger, and Affinity.
@Aidan_McDermott: Yes, it was used as a finisher in one deck for a little while.

A bit more expensive than his brethren, but he can get positively scary, especially with some Myr Servitors in play. The fact that he gains trample makes him great. Seriously, that's something Atogatog needs pretty badly.

So I hear in the magical land of fair this card and psychatog don't co-exist in any deck. Mainly because psychatog doesn't exist. But that's the magical land of fair.

What's with Mirrodin and ornamental teeth? Because metal is so hard to chew anyway? I'm referring to this and Engulfing Slagwurm, by the way.

How on Earth did the Mirrans lose the war? This brute could have munched his way through the Phyrexians...

@Trygon_Predator: Perhaps they had disappeared with the mass exodus at the end of the original Mirrodin block?
@NeoKoda: It's not that far-fetched, actually, as natural evolution won't necessarily remove traits which aren't beneficial, but not actively harmful either. Thus we see a great collection of tangential traits in modern, real organisms, and I would assume it would be the same for fantastical creatures. I mean, after all, if you're big enough, you could indeed just scarf your food down and let your powerful stomach acids do the rest.
I'd argue that Megatog should have pro artifact. Hard to imagine an atog that big would fear any artifact.

Just in case this needs to be said, this is an evolved, more powerful Atog, down to the art. Trample is highly relevant, and prevents it from being chump-blocked forever, and in Mirrodin, there are tons to sacrifice to it.

Arc Slogger was 4/5 for 5 mana. At its time, that was basically the biggest creature you could get in red for that mana efficiency and it would just end the game if your opponent got to 8 or less life (you start with 53 cards, how many games last 12 turns with a red deck?) I'd definitely play a card that said "Opponents start at 12 life, your library is smaller" in a red deck.
Also, the actual card: Depending on your opponent, 3/4 by itself is huge, not that it won't be at least a 6/7 in most combat. I've played a lot of decks that feature Atog-like creatures (Wild Mongrel w/Rancor being my favorite) and having higher toughness than power is really awesome. Surviving Lightning Bolts is a big deal and there is an extremely short list of creatures that survive this in combat if you can pump it even just twice. Myr Servitor, Myr Sire, Myr Retriever, Myr Reservoir, this guy loves myr.

There are better atogs, but I strongly prefer this one. He loves Thopter Assembly. Enduring Renewal and Ornithopter works as well, but isn't as classy since it goes infinite. You get bonus points if you summon a Blightsteel Colossus and then feed it to your hungry lad. Interesting, and stompier than most. 5/5

All you folks referring to this card as "he, him," or "this guy": How many dudes do you know named Meg?

@boneclub - people used Arc Slogger competitively?

She's Meg Atog. Clearly.
