A 2/2 creature! for FREE! this almost makes up for the fact that they didn't continue the hybrid one-drop cycle.

Bloodbraid Elf's distant cousin on Ravnica, apparently. But yeah, note that that's an ETB effect and a not a cast effect. Why hello there, half of Avacyn Restored! Naya could be verrrrry nasty here. A creature-based ritual sounds like fun to me!

Absolutely phenomenal. Despite her colouring, Boros may find a touch more appeal. 2 red for a 2/2 on turn 2 is acceptable, but then getting to throw out another 2 cost means on turn three you've got a few battalion's triggering. A super-fun card to play, no question.

It's a Gruul-themed "bear" that you essentially get for free. What's not to love?

Also, I'd Tap that.

"T1: Champion of the Parish
T2: Burning-Tree Emissary, into Lightning Mauler. Souldbond these two, swing for 7.
T3: Rally the Peasants, swing for 13.

T3 win in standard. I'm ready. "

T3 win if you get your god hand and your opponent is RETARDED.

@Psychrates
People aren't making pot jokes because we aren't all children. The "Burning-Tree" Clan is the most powerful clan in the entire Gruul faction. It is the clan of Borborygmos. Like the Burning-Tree Shaman (Great in EDH, by the way. Sure you can spin that Sensei's Divining Top. Enjoy the ping.) Or the Burning-Tree Bloodscale.

This card is strong. A bear that can potentially chain into explosive turns can be brutal. I'm not a fan of red...and this thing has caused me many headaches. It isn't a finisher by any means, and is quickly outclassed by other creatures later in the game. But it is such a key part of Naya and Jund aggro openings, and allows for such offensive power as early as turn two...well, props must be given where props are due.

@Doaj

Not to bring you down, but... if you play a Champion of the Perish turn one you won't be able to cast this guy on turn two.

This + Deadeye Navigator + Training Grounds = infinite mana.

I have no intention of playing Gruul, but if I did... it'd be because of this card.
