There are no comments yet for this card.
I run this guy in a faerie tribal edh deck, and I`ve just played against a "grouphug-draw plenty of cards-just to lose that much life at your upkeep" kinda deck... (with cards like Black Vise for example...) And of course, this little guy here, just saved my ass and made me win the game, by letting me discarding my hand, to not lose that much life...
It´s everything but obviously, but his discard ability is really great in a lot of situations...
For example, apart from the already mentioned possibilities, his discard ability also comes great with the Ensnaring Bridge. The Bridge is an awesome protection against fatties of all kinds, and fits perfectly in any deck with mostly only weeny creatures, like a faerie tribal deck.
And while others rather use stupid spells like One with Nothing, I just use my Prowler to have a better control over my handsize. And who wouldn´t rather discard a card, than to have a Primeval Titan o... (see all)

Question, if wilt-leaf liege or Loxodon Smiter , which both have the ability if an ability an opponent controls would cause you to discard this card from your hand, put it into play instead, is discarded using the ability of the prowler, does it go into play (assuming it is not yours of course)?

No. If you control Oona's Prowler and another player discards Loxodon Smiter to the prowlers ability, they control the ability, not you. Therefor Loxodon goes to the graveyard.

This is just so good. Either you get a 3/1 flier for 2, or you get a 1/1 flier that causes card disadvantage. Both are awesome. I want 4 for my MBA deck, alongside Nyxathid.

This simply has the curse of being one of those cards that gives your opponents decisions with mostly perfect information. Its saving grace is that it does a very nice Aquamoeba impression.

This is usually a 3/1 flyer for 
. If your opponent thinks to discard a card to make it a 1/1 just so they don't take an extra two damage, then:
1. They think Healing Salve is an amazing card, and
2. They don't have any Healing Salves in their deck.
Jokes aside, this card is amazingly aggressive and perfect for a casual Rogue deck. If they don't want it to deal damage, they need to discard two cards, and if you have Noggin Whack in your hand, then they've pretty much just given you what you want for free.
It does give some interesting situations when they have a 2/2 or 2/3 flyer to block it. Will they lose the creature, or discard a card?
Trick question: You have Vampire's Bite in your hand.
