i got a foil of this, I LOVE IT. gotta love Nils Hamm. I don't see why there is so much hate on a common. he's a beast compared to some of the other scavengers. for example look at drudge beetle that is a lot of mana. it's not that much of a cost does anyone want to play the game anymore or do you all want everything handed to you?

2/5. A 2/1 swampwalker for 3 and scavenge for 3. Not bad but it wouldn't be my first choice in draft and its unplayable in competitve constructed. Casual may find a home for this somewhere.

I was Golgari at RTR prerelease and I decimated my opponents. I only lost my last match due to some bad draws.
This is one of the best scavenge cards out there if you can grab it. Evasion and cheap scavenge cost is amazing.

This guy is great and I'm so sad to see him with such a low rating. 4/5 from me.
I play 4 of them in my deck because he's great Lotleth Troll fodder, and he has a cheap scavenge cost. I'm never afraid to use him as a blocker either. In the occasional circumstance he even turns out to be a great evader.
You have to consider how these cards synergize with other cards in the set, and compare all the Power/Mana ratio scavenge costs. This guy comes second, right after Slitherhead, and tied with Sluiceway Scorpion.
Throw those scavenged cards on a swampwalker that your opponent can't remove and you're smacking them for lots, throw them on a Lotleth Troll and you've got an evil trampling regenerator.
@RAV004: I don't know what games you were watching, but Golgari was the best deck at RtR prerelease and drafts. Sure, Golgari deck has its weak points, but every deck does and that's what's great about them.

He could of used another point of Power or Toughness, but he's perfectly serviceable thanks to the reprint of Contaminated Ground.

This isn't too bad, in fact it is one of the better scavenge cards. Most scavenge guys are either too expensive to play or provide a really crappy bonus, sometimes both... 2 1/1 counters for 3 is acceptable (though would be better at instant speed) and 2/1 flyers are usually 2-3 drops.
