I had this and Lotleth Troll in a draft once, and Guildmage turns out to be the pick over troll. Uber limited card.

@oefi: Giving a blocked creature intimidate does not change how it's blocked. If, somehow, blockers were changed after being declared, then that's a different story.
At the very least, it's a slightly-hard-to-cast Bear. Add a few useful but niche abilities, and you have a candidate for a Golgari mage's two-drop.
I want to make a big creature through Scavenge, sacrifice it to this guy, then, with Blood Artist in play, run all of the saprolings at the opponent. Improbable? Maybe. Awesome? Definitely.

I've managed to have this Death's Presence, Corpsejack Menace, and Abhorrent Overlord all out on the field before. Throw in Blood Bairn, Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, and Golgari Charm for good measure, and go to town. In general this card is just deadly with sac mechanics.
The great thing is, when you're done building a massive creature, if it doesn't already have evasion you can give it some with Korozda's first ability. You can also pull shenanigans with a sac outlet (like Blood Bairn) and Death's Presence to move your +1/+1 counters over to an unblocked creature, something that's fairly useful when you have a bunch of saprolings, or better harpies, in play.
Some might question the addition of the Charm to the list. The charm allows you to quickly consolidate your saprolings with Death's Presence, or regen your swarms after a swing or chum block. It's als... (see all)
