So obviously this guy's gonna be in a red Battle cry deck. That being said, Battle cry decks are fast; Memnites, Signal Pests, Goblin Bushwhackers and Kuldotha Rebirths abound. So the main weakness of this type o' deck? The fact that your creatures, while usually swingin' with a big amount of power, more often than not have one toughness. Even if they all get +3/+0, a few 1/1 Myr tokens can stop and kill them. That's where this guy comes in. Tough to burn before he gets his hit off thanks to Haste, this dude pops in and contemptuously brushes your opponent's defenses aside without a second glance, lettin' through all your 4/1 tokens to pummel him into submission. Worst case scenario for you, he has to sacrifice a bunch of relatively valuable creatures to stop them, since it's unlikely he'll have anything with enough toughness to survive blocking one of your guys. One of my favorite cards for this set. ... (see all)

I had 2 Wall of Denials, 1 Wall of Frost, 1 Guard Gomazoa, and 2 Perimeter Captains out, along with Leyline of Sanctity and a Norn's Annex. It was only a matter of time before my opponent decked himself. "Nothing can pass this defense!" I thought...until he played Hero of the Oxid Ridge and killed me. :(

Pretty devastating, can actually just win the game the turn you drop it.

Ok thats better... I read over the card 5 times and for the first 4 times I thought it said only creatures with power 1 or less can block ... I was thinking to myself thats not overpowered... then I realized what it actually said... Decent card too

Ironically, the only creature that can block this guy without ever killing him is Karn, Silver Golem himself.
(well, and bushwagg, goblin elite infantry, and slinking giant... )

Lightning Elemental on serious steroids. Haste and Battle Cry are very good together here too, red/green token decks could run off of this guy.

He's riding a horse made of twisted metal and lava. Mythic status deserved.
Awesome card, very red.
