This is one of my favourite beaters. He isn't too flashy, but he gets the job done. Are opponents overly dismissive of him because of his five toughness? Maybe. Then they realize that you are just going to keep attacking and regenerating with him; a nice replacement for the upkeep costs you saw with things like force of nature and child of gaea. I keep him in my saproling deck since he is obviously a thallid devourer with 'roid rage. (It doesn't hurt that he makes overwhelming stampede worthwhile when omnath is busy hiding out somewhere in the bottom of my deck.) Sure, he can get dismembered, or whatever, but every creature should have its weaknesses. Folks shouldn't have to resort to mass removal to deal with a card that looks likely to kill them in a few turns. Shroud is boring and hexproof is boringer. Long live terror and disintegrate.

Child of Gaea: Dude, you should really call home. Mom's worried about you.

Great card, works wonders in EDH. Easy to get that win by commander damage with this trampling behemoth, 5/5 for sure

Who wouldn't want Swamp Thing in their deck?

I'm not sure why people complained about power creep when Terra Stomper came out, even though Silvos is easily more powerful.
