Excells with graft cards obviously. Although I would probably play this guy turn six with counterspell in hand if I was playing it with other graft creatures. I would rather have a late game powerhouse that can be protected then a mid game middling that might easily get killed. The flavor text on this guy is always fun to read but hey what can I say, the Simic are my favorite guild.

Definitely one of the main attackers for the simic guild, especially useful because the simic excel late game and this card can force your opponents to go on the defensive for a few turns. As well, great art and flavor text and, just like SavageBrain, the simic are my favorite guild as well

A great card, especially since flying and trample are a great combo. The low mana cost helps also since it can help lower your opponent's life total in mid-game.

Good beater but I think there are better options for blue green these days.

I agree, it's great for graft decks (that's where I play it). I also like to use Murkfiend Liege in the deck, which instantly turns this in to a 5/5 and that's before activating any graft effects.

You want a 4/4 flying trample for 4 mana? I'm sorry, this card is from the days when Magic still had some class and didn't make you shell out $100 for "mythics". That said, trample on a mid-size creature like this is not very useful, and otherwise it's just a multicolored Phantom Monster. Graft makes it better, but I wouldn't do that unless I had a Plaxcaster Frogling out.

@True_Smog: Because 4 mana commons with two abilities are lucky to get 3/3 instead of a 2/2. The multicolor adds to both colors; blue gives flying, green trample, all on a creature with one of the coolest pictures I've seen in Magic. This isn't the best card ever but I've always loved it. It might just be small enough to avoid being taken out by your opponents until it's too late.

I love this card! Great with graft or any little combat tricks that green and blue might have. A great mid to late game beater that puts pressure on your opponent while having great art.

Toss some equipment down, guys, geez. It has two of the abilities you need, so just slap on your Ogre's Cleaver or something.

Those of you complaining that it isn't 4/4, please note that the only 4/4 with flying and trample in the entire game is Emberwilde Caliph from Mirage

@ metalevolence - I like flample too, but I am also partial to deathstrike, which is much rarer...

I wish that the Zeppelids had returned in the Boros or Azorius guild affiliations in the return block
