First Vengevine, now this? That's right, screw you Blightning, your tyrannical hold over Standard shall not stand.

What with the M10 rules about damage as-signments not going to the stack anymore, this is strictly better than Ravenous Baloth unless you're playing casual Beast tribal.
Not sure how many I'm going to maindeck but after sideboarding I'll have 4 against RDW and Jund. Just because I can. And oh boy if someone comes into FNM with that Nyxathid/Liliana's Caress deck...

MasterOfEtherium, sideboards are used for cards like "Enchant red or green creature" or "destroy all islands" or something like that. For example, doom blade against a mono-black deck is useless. You put it in your sideboard so you don' have a useless card with you.

This is not madness 0. This is worse than madness because it has to be an opponent making you discard.
That being said, still very good.

I love this and the Cyclops Gladiator. Not broken, but above the curve, with very useful abilities. Fun, solid, and I repeat NOT BROKEN.
Fauna Shaman doesn't work with this, note the "opponents control" clause. Otherwise, you could easily drop this turn one by not playing a land. Imagine what that would do to the whole of Magic.

So since Chain of Smog says an opponent copies the spell, would I be able to use that as an easy turn 2 way of getting a baloth out, since they technically are the controller of the copied spell?

AWWWW YEAH.
FREE MADNESS COST YOU CAN'T CAUSE YOURSELF.
Very fun card, definitely ties in with the "obstinate" aspect of it's name. It is very stubborn and it refuses to enter the graveyard without having a chance to wreak havoc.
Oh, it's a 4/4 that gives you 4 life too. c :

Hes good enough to be put in maindeck. 4/4 body is great, + u get 4 life with a free madness against opponets. Wheres the drawback? Am i missing something?
Solid sideboard choice makes you not want to play black//red discard in standard. Not only do u negate any damage u take from Liliana's Caress, now they have a 4/4 body threat they are forced to deal with. Probably by burning a nuke or sacking a nighthawk. Such a monster card advantage with no drawback.
Ide put 4 in mine but theres no room.
Plummet to shut down an early Serra Ascendant.
Naturalize To stop myr or quest decks.
Devout Lightcaster To deal with vampires and friends.
And 3 Terra Stomper's against heavy counters.
Feel free to give suggestions for today's standard. Thanks

You know, I don't get why this thing even gives you 4 life. :| It would have been perfect without it. Giving you that extra life rewards you further for something that was out of your control in the first place. So long Quagnoth.
