This happens when humans try to become druids (rather than Elves): Hippies!

I see it has a powerful ability. But which combo makes this card particularily broken?

Great card. And one of the few that has realisitic looking art.
Gives you another land, and helps get threshold.

The reason this card demolishes people is because there is a lot of things you can do once your entire deck is in the graveyard. (Having purposefuly put no basic land in your deck)

You can reanimate Your Iona, shield of Emeria and shut them down

You can Play Yawgmoth's Will and all but declare yourself the winner

You can Kill them with Dredge Deck staples like Bridge from below, Dread return, Narcomoebaand Flame-kin zealot.

Lots of possibilities.

Haha, who thought this was a good idea? I guess milling yourself out in one turn only recently became a good idea, but still :P

The look on your opponents face when you casually plot your entire deck into the graveyard has got to be worth something, even if it's not part of some master plan. And is this seriously a Green card stating that nature makes you loony? Funny enough in a game that already has some pretty hippie connotations to it.

I'm happy to just use him to ensure a land drop every turn :P

Anyone else think he looks like Dolph Lundgren's "Street Preacher" character from Johny Mnemonic?

even if he wasn't a veritable machine in dredge, a land per turn is absolutely nothing to scoff at.
Often overlooked as a simple card advantage creature...

Goblin Recruiter slaps every Goblin in your deck on top of your library.
Hermit Druid sends them all to the graveyard.
Patriarch's Bidding returns them all to play.

If you're playing a 250 deck, that can be upwards to 100 creature cards being sent at your opponent.

this almost makes me want to make a black green deck.
I love turning seemingly negative sides of an effect into positive effects, and this is awesome as it lets me dredge stuff AND gives me a free land!

If you are unsure of the combo, you run all non basic lands, you mill your whole deck putting 2-3 narcomeobas in play, flashback dread return targeting suture ghoul and removing lord of extinction getting a 40-50ish power trampling ghoul, dragon breath comes out of the graveyard to give it haste. It is a one card turn 2-3 kill, and that is why it is banned in legacy.

Goblin Charbelcher reminds me of this; Somewhat poorly designed and somewhat easily exploitable

For some reason this is still legal in Commander.

...alright, combo peeps. you know what to do. :)

Lol, no wonder why this is banned. In legacy it reads, Green, Tap: Put your library into your graveyard.

This is fair in a perfect world where not a single player avoids basic lands like the plague. Fortunately, we do not live in a perfect world, and this guy is busted as all hell. Thanks, Dredge, thanks Cephalid Breakfast.

Step 1: make sure your deck has no basic lands in it.
Step 2: activate this card's ability.
Step 3: cast psychic spiral.

I took one look at this card and thought "Yep, that's banned in Legacy."
