That card would be terrible! What if the opponent has a Leyline of Anticipation out and kills the troll with a super-pumped Black Sun's Zenith, an All Is Dust, or a reprinted Decree of Annihilation?
Or worse, what if it's casual play we're talking about and the opponent Donates you an Ashnod's Coupon then controls you with Mindslaver, uses the Coupon's ability targeting a large bottle of vodka, and gets you so drunk that you are easily persuaded to concede and throw away your card?
Immortal Troll would be completely unplayable! You'll have to try much harder if you ever want to come up with a decent card design.

Holy balls, this is sick with Training Grounds. Not only does it make that first ability into non-color-specific firebreathing, but it lets you go crazy with that second ability!
And also note the rulings on Training Grounds -- you can choose NOT to reduce the cost by the full amount of 2. Meaning with 1 Grounds out, you can clear their field of 1 and 2 cost stuff, for free, every turn, on top of any additional acitivations being reduced by 2. Additional Training Grounds are only a plus!

This is an Artifact Dragon, people. (This isn't)
A sociopathic one who likes to blow things up, no less.
The second largest flier in the set, and colorless.
The only possible reason for not taking this from a pack, at least for me, is a foil Skithiryx in my colors, which wouldn't happen a lot. Bomb.
5/5

He can only kill the Banesalyer if the Baneslayer isn't available for blocking, cause that first strike pro-dragon will stop the from ever being played.

Noob question: Can you pay 0 to destroy all of your opponent's tokens with the second ability?

this didn't work out for me in pre-release. Turn 6, him. Then Disperse to my hand, then again, then he got exiled...

@mrd8888 Yeah I'm pretty sure you can, tokens are a permanent with a mana cost of 0 so... Kind of like Genesis Wave pumping lands out since lands are a permanent with a mana cost of 0.

Amazing card and works very well in a blue/artifact deck. Turn Asides and other counterspells keep it alive. Semblance Anvil with myr acceleration brings them in very quickly. And for fun, imprinting it on Prototype Portal is just icing on the cake. One of my new favorite cards.
