@Lotsofpoopy : The fact that you say you're a pro in every one of your comments leads me to believe that you are, in fact, a noob.

Pros like me know how great this scorpion can be. Use him as a deadly chump blocker and then scavenge him for cheap later. Sounds like a 2 for 1 to me.

The Sluiceway Scorpion has become the official Gatherer fan page for Poopy. I've found myself looking out for LOPs comments - why no 5 star ratings?!

Would it have been too much to give him reach? Trestle Troll is ok, but I think this would have been a much better choice and would have helped deal with the problem Golgari has dealing with flying creatures. Ah well, he's still competent and versatile in his own right.

@LotsOfPoopy: i'm with @Subtle_Kay - your sarcasm makes the gatherer better. Do you have a tumblr, twitter, blog or something like that?

Garbage.
5/5 stars of Garbage.
Golgari is Epic :)

More limited material. Four mana with two colors for a bear with deathtouch is too much, no matter if it can be scavenged or not.

To be fair, Typhoid Rats was a bomb in Limited. A 4-cost deathtoucher is by no means bad, because it becomes a 4-cost kill-spell and if has an extra power bonus stitched on.
When you're drafting Golgari, you should look for Dreg Mangler's, Golgari Decoy's, Korozda Monitor's, and then these. Slitherhead, as cheap as it is, is extremely underwhelming, and all of the other scavenge cards have too high a cost or are not good-costed creatures (terrus wurm? What's that??)

@Subtle_Kay: Indeed. The Gatherer does appear to have a few too many literal minded teenagers for its own good. Lotsofpoopy's ironic, but not inaccurate, optimism brightens up many a comments thread.

Pretty much the most efficient common creature Golgari has right now. I suppose that makes sense given it's multicolor, but the guild could really have used even slightly more efficient monocolor creatures. Overload and Cipher have Goblin Electromancer as an excuse, but what about Scavenge? Drudge Beetle in particular was a missed opportunity.
