either the activation cost - or even better: the mana cost - could have been slightly lower. double-black wasn't really necessary for this card, also in terms of flavor since sacrificing doesn't really belong to any color. would have done as well.

Expensive, but fun, fun, fun until Lightning Bolt takes it away.

Needed a smaller mana cost, needed a cheaper activated ability, needed better toughness to keep it out of Lightning Bolt and Lightning Helix range. It didn't live up to its fullest potential which is a real dissapointment.

All in all it's just far too expensive manawise, both the ability and the casting cost. And the p/t is too low as well. On the other hand I still have him in some commander/edh decks because he can get rid of regenerating and especially indestructible creatures, and help my commander/general to punch through for lethal damage. 3/5

Was a pretty good card in the slow Ravnica limited, especially since you usually had to play 3 colors, and mixed with GW, this card was pretty boss.

the ability is epic, but not as epic as the price intails.

Every time I play rav limited both players end up swarming the board with something. Saproling tokens, bat tokens, guildmages. This guy is a powerhouse in that scenario.

In my experience, there are no kinds of Groodions other than drooling ones.

Since it wasn't already posted: Consume Strength on a stick. An expensive, card-heavy, stick, but still. Not fantastic, I'm okay with the cost on that ability since there are many ways to get saprolings in {G}{B}. I would have liked a bigger body though. I would pay for a 5/5 at 6CMC with that ability. As it is, 4/3 doesn't cut it.
