@Rigorousbean normally, you can only discard at the end of your turn if you have more than seven cards in hand, but with you can discard for this card's effect whenever you need, since it says "discard a baru fist of krosa: put a...", if it said "when you discard baru, fist of krosa..." you would need another way to discard it to use it's effect.

Things like Nature's Lore, Quirion Ranger, Elvish Pioneer, Krosan Wayfarer, Wood Elves and Silverglade Elemental make some really good Baru-buddies too...
And thanks for that Scapeshift-idea. Just what my Baru-deck needed!

This guy is absolutely amazing in EDH. Sure he doesn't impact the field as soon as you cast him, but hey that's fine. Ramp up with a few ETB effects or simply dropping lands fast enough and he'll be rolling fast enough. Never under-estimate the value of the Landfall ability as it were, it was early days and trust me from my own experience, it has paid off!

Freaking great card here. Good commander, good in a regular deck for the big token... Hell, if you go by regular drops, you can get a 5/5 worm token for a discard. Combine with Genesisfor worm tokens every turn.

This guy really loves Gilt-Leaf Archdruid . Firstly, he's a druid. But once you start taking lands, you can put a massive Wurm into play.

My friend made me make an EDH deck with this. EDH. That was quikly the worst deck I had ever made.

Today, I went downtown to my local game store, Get Your Game On and finished my Arcanis the Omnipotent EDH deck. Having done some previous tests with it, I knew it was pretty decent, seeing as it had a 4-0 win ratio.
So I ran into a an acquaintance who happened to have a few EDH decks on him, and got a 1v1 game going. He had this guy as his general, and I arrogantly assumed I'd have no problem winning, as he couldn't even use the Grandeur ability, and his Baru's triggered ability didn't look so scary.
I arrogantly assumed wrong.
I had stalled him out quite a bit, and overall was fairly confident in my ability to control the game, because up until that point, (turn 7 or do) he only managed to do 5 damage against me, not very much for an aggressive build. He had 4 or 5 small creatures and this guy out, but nothing too extreme. Of course, that changed awfully quickly when he cast Boundless Realms, tutoring for about 11 forests, and proceeded t... (see all)

A must for wurm decks. He makes wurms at instant speed, gives some of them trample (the smaller/cheaper ones) and.. is really cool
.. just like wurms?
EDIT:
You can still use his ability in EDH if he's not a commander. Cemetery Puca, sac him, copy him, granduer whenever you get him back to your hand (easy to do with your black!) There are others who can do something similar; but this seems the easiest way.
