Its antlers are MUCH too wide to effectively navigate those woods.

Agree with the point made about it being a good card and those made defending it's flavourful elements. I'm actually impressed they reached a little into Herculean myth. Bravo.
Fae needed a little nerfing. Mind you, the comment that control will suffer is not too inaccurate- blue doesn't have an answer to this at all, save, perhaps, Evacuation-like effects. Blacks a little more fortunate with Damnation and forced sacrifice- though I can't recall much of any of this in current standard. Black could....double-Infest, maybe? Cruel Edict? Is that still around?
Oh well. Control is five-colour for now anyway, so this is sideboard material until blue control makes a comeback. And it will, no doubt.

Soldiers are real, swords are real, bears are real, land is real. Better get rid of all those too! Stags are perfectly acceptable as fantasy creatures.

Stags have a huge presence in fantasy literature. Okay, huge is an over-statement, but they are rich with historical symbolism. Especially "Great Stags." Look this stuff up. It's actually pretty cool.

Furinic: "Can't be countered" means you can't use a counterspell (like Cancel or Soul Manipulation) to stop me from playing Great Sable Stag. You can still kill it once it's on the field, but you can't use a Blue or Black card (since it has protection from them). If you need more information on how abilities work, I would make a list of things you aren't sure about and ask them on the MTG forums, you'll have an answer in no time.

I love the flavor on this. I support green getting animals from the real world as creatures, perhaps animals with a dash of supernatural power.
Real does not equal boring. Sometimes, ordinary things with unexpected powers are the most exciting and fantastical of all. Excuse me if I don't want to be summoning 'fantasy' creatures that are completely random and look like Pokemon.

A 3/3 for 1GG is solid. A 3/3 that cannot be countered and has blue and black hate for 1GG is ridiculous. Faeries have got nothing on this guy. Too bad he can't fly, though. And I kinda wish he could survive Lightning Bolt. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers, I guess. Overall, he's a REALLY good creature

solid creature, 3/3 for 3. the double green is a very slight drawback, considering its abilities. impervious to targeted destruction spells, as well as bounce/other nonsense blue can do to it, serious advantage. making a player waste a path to exile or some such card on this creature is an advantage in the long run. only real downside I can see is its vulnerability to cheap burn. I think there is a one mana instant out there that could easily burn this stag to the ground... oh right, lightning bolt. Not bad though, certainly a SB card, wouldn't recommend 4 maindeck, but a few, sure.

Another bullet hewn for faries. It'll be good until it (hopefully) kills them.

this is a pretty awesome card
1gg for a 3 power creature is alright... but with those extra powers? against most blue or black decks, itd be pretty hard to chump
