Why is this guy uncommon? He's really not good at all! They should've given him reach...

It looked good...then I realized it didn't have infect.

T1: Forest, Glistener Elf
T2: Island, Blighed Agent, attack with the Elf
T3: Forest, Mycosynth Fiend, attack with The Agent and the Elf (Your opponent has 3 poison counters)
T4: Forest, Triumph of the Hordes, Mutagenic Growth for 2 life on Mycosynth Fiend, attack with everyone. Your crappy 2/2 is now a 7/7 infect with trample, and you won on turn four.
I'll be throwing him into my infect deck.

This thing is a monster in limited with the right deck. As others have pointed out, he loves Triumph of the Hordes.
Leave a swamp untapped when you attack with him and listen to the gears grind in your opponent's head.

The idea behind this guy not having infect just baffles me. Would have been an otherwise SOLID card with great art. 2/5

It actually seems pretty decent in an oldschool poison deck that doesn't run infect. In those, standard life diminishing is a viable secondary win condition, one that this perfectly compliments.

I'm not sure what to think about that card. As mentioned multiple times before, it's an interesting design, but a hybrid deck doesn't seem too powerful, and there are better targets for Grafted Exoskeleton, Tainted Strike or Phyresis.
Pity it doesn't get the boost from any player with poison counters, then it would synergize with cards like Phyrexian Vathmother or Ichor Rats...and it would be a pretty card against infect decks as well, obviously.

What would happen if you played this in a red green white weird strategy deck against control and you have a strategy of losing a lot of life early on so you can play Phyrexian Unlife. You take some poison counters, let's say 7. Then you drop this guy & your opp laughs at you like you're a fool and loves you for it as he steals your 9/9 3 drop but little did he/she know that your next turn you would be stealing him back & swinging. If you steal him back at instant speed & swing/fling, does he stay 9/9 or the moment he changes sides does he drop back to a 2/2? Yes I'm stretching far down this limb I'm on, I'm very aware.

I'd prefer this as a 0/0 with infect.
