One of my favorite things about this card is the art. He looks like he's carefully balancing before a fight in a big, wide stance as if surfing on the back of another creature, a perfect image for bestow. Also he seems to be cross-eyed, like he's dazed that you just flashed him in. The enchantment bling on all of these bestow cards that spills into the art looks here like its a bit more integrated than in the others, particularly the three dots at the satyr's eye level. It looks like he's staring at them (and is he cross-eyed?), and, like someone who's just walked into a giant swarm of gnats, he's drawn swords and is ready to fight. And those little bitty satyr calves? He looks like one of the guys at the gym who only does bench presses, yeah, that dude would be a 4/2 creature, too. Nicely done.

That cape...
"What's the 'S' stand for?"
"It's...uh...Satyr. Initially I was going to go with 'Boon Satyr,' but then I would have been walking around with a big 'BS,' and you understand why I couldn't go with that."

This seems like one of the better rares in the set. A 3 mana 4/2 with Flash is solid, and being able to double as a permanent trick makes me think this might see playing in standard at some point.

One of the best priced bestow cards. Only for its Flash though. Most of them are crap.

Heheh, I'm amused by the combination of the card name, ready-to-rumble posture of the satyr and the two booze kegs at his feet.
The card itself also feels it could make it into constructed, which is nice.

How good is this in a deck running Breeding Pool? Very good I say.

Well this is an awesome card. But I have to wonder...
If I cast it for its Bestow cost, then is it still a creature while it's enchanting another creature? Could Doom Blade destroy it while it's Bestowing its abilities? What if I cast Black Sun's Zenith with x at 2... would that kill this guy, even while he's an Aura?
And probably biggest of all... while he's an Aura, enchanting a creature... could I still swing with him?
Perhaps the answer's obvious and has been staring me in the face for days but I'm still curious.

Compare with Wolfir Avenger, which saw a tiny bit of play. I think Bestow makes this slightly better though.
