Hey, they reprinted Wall of Regenerating Snake! Cool! I remember running 4 of these in my Wurmageddon Deck back in the day. Pound of pound one of the best blockers early game. Or attackers, if you wanted to go that route in a Stompy deck.

He wins games. Period.
So good to see you back, old friend.
Great new art for one of my favorite creatures of all time and it will be totally nostalgic to have this in a deck again.
I agree with these comments. The river boa has always been a dominate green creature. It has speed, versatility, and sometimes evasion. It is a strong early game attacker, then a awesome mid and late game defender. Play your mana correctly and you can ignore lightning bolt and doom blade, and if your opponent is playing blue they must deal with it or die a cheap death.
River boas of old had rancor for even quicker deaths. Those days are gone but Extended decks can now double up the fun with both the mire and river versions.

This card is good even against a non-blue deck.
One mana regeneration with 2 power for 2 is no joke.

excellent point about the skeletons... I'd like to see a few more interesting skeletons.

River Boa: such a fighter in many a deck. I like how the snake kind of hung in there throughout magic's sets, it just feels right. This is a great looking card too, great artwork.

Probably one of the best green picks in limited. I hated playing against this guy. I'm not sure if he's constructed material but if blue decks are common then its possible...

Compare this with Druge Skeleton, and you'll know why it kicks ass.
