Angered by the fact that Beast Within rotated out a year ago, the 3/3 Beast token broke out, hungry for revenge...

Trained Armodon lost one colorless! I remember feeling powerful back in the day casting a 3/3 Armodon on turn three. Now it's on turn two and people still say "Meh, could be better." Spoiled brats...

This card is amazing to play with an all green agro deck. If you have a few Advocate of the Beast cards in the same deck, this card could easily become a 4/4, 5/5, or 6/6 creature! Thanks to WoTC for making this core set.

well, these seem like a staple in a devotion deck, a solid 3/3 that adds 2 to your devotion.

Answers early aggro like Rakdos Cackler, Rakdos Shred-Freak, Soldier of the Pantheon, Ash Zealot. Competes with Burning Tree Emissary and Scavenging Ooze for my green 2 drops. I love dropping Boon Satyr on this guy.

Watchwolf, are you feeling alright? You look a little more green than normal...

It's clear that Kalonian Tusker and Watchwolf are very similar creatures, but which card is easier to cast? Honestly, it all depends on your decktype.
Disclaimer: Keep in mind that the example decks below will be working in a vacuum, so they're basically just 24-card decks where every card is a land - the Tusker and Wolf are in your hand by default. Although having such controlled circumstances might make all of this seem insignificant, the purpose of these examples is to illustrate which of the two 3/3 creatures would be better under each manabase listed here. I believe that the results should be transferable to an actual 60-card deck because both the Tusker and the Wolf would be under the same probability disadvantages caused by having other cards in the deck with them. Somebody please correct me on this if I'm wrong, probability isn't my best or favourite field of math.

Wonderful card. May it stay in core for a long while. And, actually, this is better than the Companion most most of the time. That 3 toughness goes a LONG way.

No one else is excited this is a beast? Yes, Garruk's Companion is awesome, but printing cheap beasts is something special. This also works better with Contested Cliffs.

If only they'd reprint the other Tusker so I can play it in modern, my life would be complete.
This will do for now :)
