Hey look! It's Vengevine's older brother! And he heard all the mean things you were saying about Vengevine!

Eat too much spicy Elvish food and you get Gaea's Revenge.

Kind of moot, I suppose, but it can be Mindbreak Trapped. I don't know. I'd rather play Avenger of Zendikar for the same price, I think.

"Falls to Doom Blade, .5/5"
"Baneslayer Angel has first strike and can block, .5/5."
Those are the only two statements I've heard about any decent cards.
Luckily, this can't be affected by the Blade, so I haven't had the need to hear about it.
Are people really starting to compare these guys based soley on its comparison to a few cards?
Let's face it, this guy is a solid card with solid abilities.
Are you going to cry about the fact that all you need is the classic Giant Growth to get around BS Angel?
Or, do people forget that green has some of the most cards that bump up a creature?
Let's face it, BS is good,
But you can't compare it to every other card.
Next I'll be seeing "Falls to BS" on every other card with toughness <= 5.

8 hasted power for 7 that screws blue...i have been waiting for a creature like this for a long time. That 5 toughness will cause a lot of trades, but that doesn't mean this won't be played out the wazoo. I just hope that it doesn't end up being 50 bucks.
Anyone else think that they made so many ridiculously powerful green cards in m11 because green will be royally shafted in scars of mirrodin?

This guy is like an avatar of me when I'm playing against Force of will and damnation and such.
I want to KILL YOU NOW so I can get on to playing against a more fun, less predictable opponent...

Blue decks could still Clone this couldn't they?

I absolute love this card, it is amazing, and makes me happy =D
And lets face it, if you're playing green, there is no excuse this thing should stay a 8/5. I can see no reason this thing would ever have an issue with any white card ever, aside from Jareth.

Looks like it will beat out Pelakka Wurm for the 7-mana slot. With this ridiculous protection from everything non-green, I feel like reprinting Putrefy would have been a clever nod.
@Artscrafter: yea, this is one of the strongest protections I've seen on a creature aside from Troll Shroud. However, you left out a couple of things: he's susceptible to any sort of board wipe, he can be killed by anything with deathtouch, you can be forced to sacrifice him, and so on. I'm not saying he isn't ridiculously powerful, but Wizards is giving us some obvious hints as to how he should be dealt with, namely the lack of trample and the 5 toughness.
