Hey guys who need to complain about this: Remember all those spells that destroy artifacts and enchantments that no one uses because no one runs kickass artifacts or enchantments? Well, this is a set loaded with artifacts and some kickass enchantments. Suck it up and grab some Naturalize. And some Revoke Existence.. and maybe Nature's Claim just to be safe.

@Bioprince: Read it again. There's more to Asceticism than just regeneration. None of your creatures can be targeted by the enemy when this is out. Sorry, Grasp of Darkness, your ability to ignore regeneration is irrelevant.

Troll Ascetic was easily one of the most game-breaking 3 drops for green ever printed... and now they're going to give you that power for ALL your creatures? WTF Wizards...

@BioPrince: Every card and deck has their weaknesses and their answers. Don't downplay a card just because it's only $2 for a playset on E-Bay, that just means it hasn't been broken yet.

I, for one, am going to try this puppy out in my elf deck. Redundant with Ezuri, Renegade Leader? Maybe, but that's what playtesting is for, instead of looking at what the "major arch-types" are and automatically saying (with a trolling attitude) that they're going to beat face without seeing some play first-hand.

Opalescence. Your opponent better have a Wrath... And I mean a Wrath because DoJ still lets regeneration through.

Absolutely fantastic enchant for green. While 3GreenGreen looks like a lot at first, with proper mana ramping this can be on the field turn 3 and still have room for other spells. And - as if troll shroud wasn't enough - it gives the ability to regen ANY creature on the battlefield... for multiple creatures, even! Your strategic beasties and any creature on the battlefield that might hinder your opponent can be kept alive for a pretty low cost.

The art combined with the flavor text is very sad, indeed. But it also makes a very powerful card feel powerful emotionally. The trees and surrounding flora don't seem to display a harsh, "metallic" feel that I would expect from Mirrodin's forest, but that's just a personal opinion. Very nice touch with the lighting and proportions, which adds a serene yet daunting feel.
