You'll notice Rubblehulk (aka molimo 2.0) is missing trample. It's because he's gruul and it's REALLY easy to get it granted to him. And that 4/4 elemental is for 3 mana is just PAINFUL. Man I don't want to see this across the table from me.

This card is exactly what Gruul needed... I don't even like R/G lately but this card is just absolutely incredible... it's in the list of top 3 guildmages from the RtR block and it's not difficult to figure out why...
For starters, in the RtR cycle the guildmages were all useful but generally overcosted for their actives. especially the second active, the game changing one. Looking at Nivix Guildmage, Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage, Kordoza Guildmage and even New Prahv Guildmage you get one decently costed ability and one ability that is expensive and only moderately useful. Rix Maadi Guildmage isn't worth talking about since its cheap costed but also less than useful 50% of the time... Those 5 guildmages sit at what i like to call semi-usefull(if they're useful at all), with Vitu-Ghazi being the best and Nivix being #2.
Now take a look at the mages from this set... unbelievable, all of th... (see all)

Mr. Vakyoom,
I do agree that the Gatecrash cycle of guild mages is far superior to Retun to Ravnica's, but if the trample for all ability is much nicer for swarm decks on Legion Loyalist, who is just bonkers, or in the case of werwolfs Full Moon's Rise. While this guy is still very good he has some reasonable competition and I would not call him an instant playset in all green red decks.

Gruul may have got the shaft for constructed in this set but this card is SO sweet. It could easily steal limited games and his second ability has me drooling. I want to animate a Halimar Depths, swing with it, then champion it with Supreme Exemplar.

Not what I was hoping for personally, but he is way better than the original. Love his art too.

I love how this and Rubblehulk have direct interactions with lands, but it didn't end up being the Guild Mechanic. It as probably something they pondered in early development.

Not-Garruk here is definitely one of the best guildmages, if not the best.

Great art, the ability to make a beater/ bloodrush target, trampler for everybody, not entirely sure why this guy got less than 4.
