Only until it was too late did Wizards of the Coast fully realize the abomination they had created. When they swung their mighty Banhammer of the DCI at the cursed Thragtusk, it just laughed and made a 3/3 Beast token.

I like this card, but it seems like a creature this green should be a little less splashable than it is. 3GreenGreen would've made more sense in my opinion. But whatevs, it's awesome.

That aside, green is supposed to get good, under costed creatures like this, because it's green.

The flavor text says, "always carry two spears." Is Wizards trying to be clever and suggest Searing Spear?

Probably so. Their multiverse ids are only one off: 249685 and 249684

The Beast token from Liliana vs. Garruk looks just like the smaller beast in the art.

someone give me a holler when this bull**** rotates out so i can play Magic again. on turn 6, my opponent is now at 30 life, has a 5/3, a 3/3, and a 3/4 flier, after wiping the board with an uncounterable wrath of god. thanks.

there is NO response to this card in the standard format right now. you can run solid blue 4 essence scatters, but then again, he might have a cavern of souls, THEN YOU'RE (@#*^$@$.

*sighhhh* breath, toasty.

I call power creep. Overpowered card due to the simple fact that it read "leaves the battlefield" instead of "dies". Shouldn't be splashable either. The fact that this is seeing play in 75% of the top decks is rediculous.

Make it 3GG and change the "leaves battlefield" clause to "dies" and it would be at least a little closer to balanced.



That said, I do not hate-rate cards because I don't like them or they are OP. 4.5/5

Thragtusk is a great card, not just because it's strong, but because when this is the defining card in standard, the format is actually in good shape.

Just remember what standard looked like in previous years...

Lorwyn/Alara - faeries. Imagine playing against tempo except even worse.
Alara/Zendikar - jund. Bloodbraid elf into blightning ggwp
Zendikar/Scars - cawblade. The first standard bannings in years, nuff said.
Scars/Innistrad - Delver. Get bashed with 3/2 fliers for 1 mana while all your spells get mana leaked and creatures get vapor snagged.

Would you rather have one of these formats, or a 5 mana creature that stalls the game out?

My Worldspine Wurm gets hosed by Oblivion Ring, God Forbid that Thragtusk would to so lets put leaves the battlefield instead of dies.

He can't be countered safely with cavern of trolls floating around.

Outside of a 3 power first strike (which they can use their own removal on), there is no way to deal with him without the opponent getting 5 life and a 3/3 creature, most mana efficient creature in history.

Big fatty that is hard to kill and that gives you something directly when it's on the battlefield.

Green is getting better and better.

A bit too color-light I think. It's a little sad that most green creatures that see competitive play are because they are/were splashable and not actually enough to make green do it.

I do like that at least his abilities are green. Funny to note that he saw loads of play and the most complained about black cards (Obliterator for example) didn't. Color weight at work people! I for one love hiding power behind color-weight; it clearly shows the difference between this guy (for example) and Leatherback Baloth.

With the new Dragon's Maze mythic Progenitor Mimic, we now have another reason to hate Thragtusk. Why? Because the perfect follow up play to this 5 mana monstrosity is a 6 mana clone that comes pre-enchanted with Followed Footsteps. That's right kiddos; you get a free Thragtusk every turn, complete with 5 life gained and a creature token should you manage to kill the Thragtusk *token*.

I'd be surprised if Progenitor Mimic doesn't see play thanks to Thraggy being so good. Heck, even if they kill Thrag in response and you have no other decent creatures to copy, at worst you're producing a 3/3 beast token each turn off the Progenitor Mimic.

Not to mention, if for some reason you decided to run a populate spell in this UGx theoretical deck (probably Bant given Resto Angel), then you'd be able to populate... Thragtusk tokens. o.O

The most played card in standard and has shaped the format. literally, the only card that can take it out is Boros Reckoner

This is a card that green needs, imho. Simply because look at all the other colors and the delightful shenanigans they have.

White- has one of the top contenders for both spot, and board removal
Blue- card draw and counter spells up the yin yang
Black- the OTHER top contender for spot/board removal
Red- blows A LOT of crap up

Since Swagtusk has an answer to not just one color, but ALL of the colors, frankly makes the game more fair, balanced and overall, more fun.

P.S. I seem to notice that the people who complain about aggro/midrange cards are almost always blue mages. :-P

It looks like green and red (Thundermaw Hellkite) finally got their Baneslayer Angel with this M13 Core Set.
Who will be next? Who will be getting the next in getting an extremely overpowered 5-drop? Black or blue?
