The art looks amazing, but couldn't the croc at least have a second ability?

Or, perhaps, not be so small. What up with the 1/1 croc?

I only count 42 teeth on this croc and it lacks any sort of disabling ability such as Wither. It's almost like the flavor text relates in no way to the art or functionality of the card. D:

@vizzerdrix 80: you do know this card was made before wither or deathtouch or any keyword dealt with disabling abilities, right?
anyway it is simply a generic one drop.

Flavor fail. OTOH it's the only one drop in the game with Islandwalk. Just sayin'.

You people expect too much from a such an easily castable card. It's 1 mana for a 1/1. That alone should make you happy. Islandwalk makes it even better!~
@Blackworm_Bloodworm You forget that crocodile is far far far superior subtype compared to Merfolk.

From a real-word perspective, Earth gharials have jaws that are far too narrow and week to come close to harming a human, even though they can grow to be pretty large (more than twelve feet).
However, their speed and agility while in water is unsurpassed among their kin, so the Islandwalk is strangely fitting.

I'll be honest. I love this card.
The flavor on the other hand... Just admit the damn thing lives in a f*cking sewer and has a mouth full of sh*t.
Generic Godhead to bring them all down to your level but... there are plenty of more combos. Generic Coat of Arms for a really poor tribal, perhaps use some shapeshifter tribal or Mistform Wakecaster to make all your creatures something. Go UR and spam Bravado because you're into that sort of crap.
Something incredibly lame like that.

Why is it that a freaking CROCODILE is equal in strength to a squirrel token?

Gharials aren't crocs. :(

@NeoKoda: But they're closely related to crocs, so that makes them count as one. I'm pretty sure that for tribal purposes, alligators and caimáns would also be considered "crocodiles".
