sigh, reminds me of the days Voracious Cobra dominated everything and ate any other creature for breakfast. this doesn't quite have the same punch as the cobra, but it's way more balanced and and flash lets it work as removal instead of just locking down the board until your opponent drew a kill or burn spell.
You gotta love the deathtouch snakes

@Jacksjokeshop I'm glad it isn't white. It's a solution to Malakir Bloodwitch and other pro-white creatures in my Knight of New Alara deck.

"Destroy any one attacking creature."
In two colors that can't usually do that (though they're both mutual allies to the king of attacker destruction.)
I love it when they do things like this. The effect is off-color, but the way it's accomplished is not. Flying and flash are very blue, while deathtouch is not uncommon in green. Combine them, and you've got creature removal!

the first strike idea would make him like pestilent kathari, but better

Excellent card, very playable. It's basically a kill spell -- and a good one at that -- in the two colors that almost never get kill spells. 4.5/5.

I like Ambush Viper better. Not for the cheaper removal, but because of the surprise swing with Rancor.
