An amazing combo card that can easily be the centerpiece of a deck. Before it rotated out of Extended, it was easily my favorite combo/control deck.
A Blue/Green/White Hunting Grounds deck is very powerful and fun. Use cards like Tolarian Winds to reach Threshold quickly. Run Sterling Grove to tutor for and protect your Hunting Grounds. Use bounce cards like Echoing Truth and Evacuation to clear the board after Hunting Grounds is active to force your opponent to have to play spells. When your opponent finally gives in and plays a spell, you get a free Simic Sky Swallower or Akroma, Angel of Wrath. If they try to use Wrath of God or Path to Exile to get rid of your fatties it will trigger Hunting Grounds and you can use Mystic Snake or Draining Whelk to counter their removal spel... (see all)

Its threshold because its CMC is so low.
If you wanted something without threshold with a higher CMC you're looking at Lurking Predators which does something rather difficult to control in comparison.

Can you please speak about Hermit Druid ? Fix your mana and activate the threshold.

@ArdentEternal: Brilliant. Then use this to bring out a Lhurgoyf or two after the graveyards are full.

I tried this once in a WUG deck using Eratai's Familiar and Memory Sluice to get Threshold.
Hilarity ensues if you have a Mystic Snake and something to bounce like Trusted Advisor or Vedalken Mastermind.
"Awesome card. Terrible art. Why does the wolf on the right have wings?"
@allmighty_abacus: Probalby because this is the artwork from a card of a game labeled Magic: The Gathering, and not Bear Grylls: Wild Nature ;)

5/5 for my Black/Green/White Deck! Dredge can fulfill the Threshold ability easily and there are many powerful creatures to abuse with the card. Since they are not being cast as a spell, counterspells can't do anything to it either. F*** Blue!~And with cantrip, you can almost sure no opponent is going to play any spells, or even play with you ever again. . .

@allmighty_abacus: Isn't the better question "Why don't all other wolves have wings?"?

This Is a Pretty good counterpart to Lurking predators, my favorite card. so even if you get a creature into your hand, you can easily get it out when they play a spell, and maybe get a second one from the top of your deck.
