Rather sad I've lived to see the classic Force of Nature obsoleted by a... naked-mole bear-pig? Don't get me wrong, it's amazing card, and you ARE going to wreck someone's day when you play it, but it just seems like someone said "Let's take an awesome but still reasonable card and just cut that whole "reasonable" thing."
I suppose Force still has one thing going for it - no one in their right mind is ever going to use mind control on it.

Jesus Christ... reading through these comments gave me a headache. This card is NOT overpowered, for the love of God. Not even close. Even while Blue was completely dominant in standard a short time ago, enough so to warrant the first Standard bannings in many years, this card never saw play at any high level. This isn't really power creep, either - yes, it's almost strictly better than a card printed a long time ago, but that card was trash anyways. There are creatures far better than this printed years ago, so it's really not power creep.
Force of Nature was jank, and this is too. What does it actually DO? Nothing. It doesn't fit in any good deck. It amounts to a gigantic, french vanilla beater, which isn't what any competitive deck needs unless it happens to cost 2 mana (Tarmogoyf). Any sort of mono-green ramp deck is much better off using the slots for Primeval Titan or any other acceleration which will help further you into playing game-ending Eldrazi that are far harder to answe... (see all)

its uncounterable and really big with trample for 6, defintley not to shabby, good solid card. While everyones complaining about the art work I actually don't think much of it either way, looks fine. At worst I can make fun out of it by telling my opponents they are about to be trampled by my evil naked mole rat o' destruction. > : )

with the power ramp pushing sky high, it's not surprising. just look at primeval titan...now THAT thing is $60 and rising still. i'm almost thinking a person from the R&D team was pushing to add shroud for the stomper.
but agree with sancrosact, how the heck is this valued at 50 cents?? blue must be very underpowered in standard/extended for people not to even consider stocking up on this.

Dera Terra Stomper,
Thanks so much for helping me to kill all those stupid U/W control decks that are freaking everywhere now. I'm your #1 fan!

Ridiculously awesome efficiency for the mana cost... but there just isn't much that's special about this guy. If you're playing a fatty green deck, he's simply one fatty that can't be countered. Trample isn't all too special in said deck either.
For one more generic mana, I'd much rather trade anti-countering and trample for the uber-shroud of Plated Slagwurm.

Really surprised it didn't see play, considering how it curves so well from Asceticism.
