This is a real game changer in sealed, one of the best commons. With all the walls, spawn, and high toughness low power creatures in the set, this guy can really swing through.

I love that crazy little badger! SOOOOO good with totem armour decks! Get lots of totems on this fuzzy little sack of dynamite and even Eldrazi can't touch him!

This is a very underrated card in this set. A beast in sealed with so many umbras. I run a type 2 deck with these guys and I frequently win in 4- 5 turns. Obviously anytime you can play a sovereigns of lost alara and with a con***ion and the gnarlid on the field its scooping time, but this guy can end a game before you can even cast sovereigns with a few umbras and a bit of mana excell. The fact he cant be chump blocked makes him ridiculous because he ramps up so fast that your opponent will rarely have a creature with equal power early in the game. Not to mention any exalted you might have. Opponents often overlook the fact that the gnarlid benefits from all auras on the battlefield. I believe this is the best card in eldrazi period. 5/5

This is really good. Stick a few Umbras on him and watch your opponent sweat.

I don't think this is meant to be enchanted by auras directly (unless we're talking about umbras or canopy cover, which offer protection). Just like yavimaya enchantress, this card is a stable beater that hits the table hard and fast (via Wild growth and utopia sprawl) without giving an obvious target for card disadvantage.

It can be backed up with Oblivion ring, journey to nowhere, crystalliztion for creature/permanent control; and Greater Auramancy for protection.
Dosan the Falling Leaf is like City of Solitude against control decks. He also ensures they never bolt your Verduran enchantress or Mesa Enchantresses. As mentioned before, Canopy Cover is a must, and maybe Shielding Plax for enchant... (see all)

Some of these commons are better than some of the RARES in this set. Lordy!
