If it just was a 2/4 or 1/4 for 2GreenGreen it would have been played so much, it would have been up there with the likes of Hand and Skittles.
I was so sad I can´t play it in my Green/Black aggro infect that I have made him his own mono Green deck full of mana acceleration and Mortarpods

6 CMC is slow? Have you guys even played green before? I've seen 6 mana out by turn 3 in mono green, and on numerous occasions.

I can't lie:
People are right when they say this is moreso a "win more" than anything else.
However, one of green's major problems is lockdown,
And I know how problematic infect decks get when their board is consistantly killed off.
If this guy sticks, even for at least a turn, you should win very soon after for the board presence.
Also, this guy is one of the few creatures in infect that aren't hit hard by Melira, Sylvok Outcast.
If your opponent has at least one poison counter, you'll still be getting a creature each of your upkeeps.
However, to end this rant of approval,
He's an honest-to-goodness bomb in multiplayer, and nobody can deny that.
4/5, 'cause he's board presence, he's in green that can ramp very easily, and he's Lightning Bolt and Slagstorm resistant.

seems badass. but i have to agree with @Names_Suck. i foresee green infect becoming very fast and aggressive.

but if u do get this out and your opponents not dead, they will sure wish they were.

This thing can be Arrest'd and still kill you. That's power right there.

A bit slow for how green infect tends to work. Especially with the new Glistener Elf.

I like it, but I also agree that green infect is meant to be fast and deadly.. and with phyrexian hydra at 5 there really isn't a great place for this card. It's also too obvious. I'd rather play spine biter, than play this, and hope my opponent doesn't remove it. By comparison end of opponents turn spam out a carrion crawl can catch someone by surprise.

Still complete casual fun, but don't expect more from it than that.

This card finishes on its own, but when M12 comes out, Infect Insect tribal will be playable, mark my words.
