With either Sword of Vengeance or Basilisk Collar, this guy holds Vengevine and Bloodbraid Elf at bay. A fetchland and he's 5/5 or more, bashing through them even if they double block. And if they kill him, he's cheap enough to just redeploy with a Grim Discovery - and hey, why not grab that fetchland while you're down there! Thanks, synergistic cards.

In a red green landfall deck playing Plated Geopede playing this on turn 2 followed by a land the next turn together with harrow causes this creature to rocket to a 7/7 on turn 3 with first strike.

I'd like some way to give it trample and then go nuts with fetch lands. Watch out for Fog.

Got this set in my new build. Landfall with Teetering Peaks and you got a 5/3 creature with first strike! Owning!

To be fair, it may be awesome when you get your land, but incredibly inconsistent if you don't, what happens if you play it and your next 2 top deck draws are both creatures or something else? Then you spent 2 mana on a 1/1 first striker.

I like this guy. A lot. RGW Landfall aggro seems like a viable deck idea for the new standard.

How is this even fair? High pick in limited, usually a 3/3 first strike for 2. Then in constructed, with the search lands in standard now, it's a 5/5 first striker for 2! Only drawback is the 1 toughness on the opponent's turn, but you wouldn't expect it to survive a Bolt anyway, so it hardly matters. In short: WHY is this a common?!?!

I beat one of my friends in six turns because of this guy. Absolutely amazing card.

This killed me in every pre release draft game. I never got one. :(
