Oracle Text type says "Summons- Dinosaur".
Poor Pygmy Allosaurus. Summon Dinosaurs? Nah. You're a lizard, ma boy!

Heh, the first time I saw this card I laughed. Its phasing cancels its fading, and makes the upkeep always 1, every other turn. Funny thing is, it is quite powerfull! 2 mana for a rampaging, flanking 7/7 ? Count me in.

I don't know about you but I have won countless games with this guy.
Too bad it didn't have snow-covered desertwalk. That would be a riot.

This card is awesome for several reasons.
1) It is the only creature ever to be printed having "Bands with other". There isn't a single other creature with this abiltiy. And it can only band with other copies of itself, too.
2) The interaction between Phasing, echo and cumulative upkeep is just ridiculous. I think MaRo once said that you have to pay the echo cost when it face back in. I doubt modern rules would function that way. However, the cumulative upkeep works as usual, contraty to what over people have been saying.
3) It's the only dinosaur in Magic.

I do wish they'd bring Homarids back and have them not suck this time. I want to make a lobster deck.

Homarids are back in the form of Changelings!

And I completely forgot Craw Giant so Rampage is new too.

So that leaves only Phasing and Bands with Others as the Oldschool mechanics! Which of these 2 mechanics, both doing their utmost best being complicated as heck, doing their utmost best never to appear again, to be the true Old Fogey mechanic, will take first place in the end????
