This card isn't supposed to be an "aggressive card" it's a midrange card that punishes aggressive decks. It's impossible to beat someone if they resolve one of these and either clone it or flicker it.

Would everyone stfu with the whining feedback? I understand that this is put into every green deck in standard and that it is an amazing card, but it didn't break the format. Have you guys heard of dreadbore? How about mizzium mortars? And Abrupt decay for the tokens? As for the 5 life, I guess you're on your own. I'm not gonna whine about the beast, I'm gonna deal with it.

Awfully and lazily designed, and stupidly overpowered card.
I'm literally considering quitting standard because of this *** card, not even Jace the Mind Sculptor ***ed me off this much when he was in standard, which really says a lot.

I hate this card. Every standard deck has green now just for this card. I believe that's pretty much the definition of broken. On it's own it's overpowered. With everything else they printed around it, it's absurdly broken. Maybe if it was less splashable it'd be okay, but with only one colored mana it just ends up in every single deck.
0.5/5 for making standard not fun

@majinara
Yes you do appear to be somewhat blind. at 5 mana, a 5/3 and 5 life is a pretty good deal. Throw in his added ability of making 3/3 beasts simply for LEAVING the battlefield (not dying as you stated), and this guy is so far above the curve you'd be crazy to rate him anything less than 4.5. With the plethora of flicker spells in blue and white, this card will be abused thoroughly. You are rating this card as if it were simply a green aggro creature, but it isnt, its a green COMBO creature, and there are far too few of those nowadays.

I don't see the point of the lifegain. There was literally no reason for that part of this card to exist. If they wanted to encourage flicker so much, and if they wanted to make it more fun flavorfully, they should have made the token a 5/3 and dropped the life gain (it doesn't make any sense that the second thragtusk is smaller). Either that, or make it heal when it dies, if you want to get the whole "i'm eating it" flavor. The current way it works makes negative sense.
Oh, and its OP'd.
