"Plant Hound" has to be one of the weirdest creature type combinations ever seen.

It would have been nice if its ability actually related somewhat to the original Mossdog. I recognised the creature and name immediately and then felt disappointed at the lack of mechanical connection.

That Mossdog appears to be a slime mold or fungus of some kind. I call shenanigans on the "Plant Hound" type line.

I honestly had to give this guy a 4.5 because of the good memories I have with this guy. I used to have a noobish dredge deck that had rotwurms and golgari germination and so on, and had so many ways to use this recursive hill giant, either sac him to the rotwurm, or power him up with a moldervine cloak, and then keep getting him back when he dies.

Actually, moss is a plant, not a fungus. Which means the flavor text line is wrong, but still, it's less wrong mechanically.

Can't say that paying four for a 3/3 is good, but it can be explicable since it does have dredge 3.

I dunno, it seems like the dredge is only useful if you don't have any better monsters to summon. Otherwise you're just paying the same cost for the same sub-par efficiency. The computer generated art is a bit... Interesting to see on a Magic card. What a funny little creature in general.

Well, late game a 3/3 can often be better than a random card (which is 40% a useless land), espcially you're both in top deck mode.

Yes...yes it is 0_o Seems like the plant type on it in the original printing was a bit of an oversight on their part...
