I, personally, lurv this card as a one shot, so many ways to give it trample and reincarnate it, I have won so many games with him, he is sooooooooooooo underrated
4/5
EDIT: This just broke in half with Melira, Sylvok Outcast
4.5/5

Back when he came out, I didn't like him, or see any flavor in him... now I can kind of see flavor, maybe he's so noxious that he instantly corrupts any creatures or spells in the vicinity, making them infectious or something.
My liking of the card has grown though, since New Phyrexia. With Melira printed, this guy can be an almost indestructible death-dealing poisonous threat, almost on par with Blightsteel Colossus, and certainly a lot easier to cast.
Bottom line, this guy could do some SICK things with Melira in a casual infect deck (or maybe even competitive? I dont know.)

gives its blockers infect, very interesting. while it does not have trample and will get chump blocked multiple times, its high p/t will probably cause it to take a creature with it each time. 5 mana is a good price for this guy. just consider him green mass removal.

I just recently started Magic. Went to the local dealer with a bud who has been playing magic for YEARS. the guy suggested this new deck that came out to me. tried it and got my a$$ kicked. it was the new infect deck that came out. So i went back up to the guy looked at all the infect cards he had on display. Just won my first tournament tonight with it. Lets just say this card plus a few flying enchantments really helped. busted out 4 of them that were in my deck. got 1 to actually stay on the field. this guy laughed at me for having such a weak card. then i paid 5 mana for my Soaring hope that i added to it and he died. yes infect is incurable like aids. once you have it your dead. had some 1/1's and 2/2's on the field before and got him 4/10 poison counters. then he took the lead and kept beating me down. until i got my 4th Hydra out. then that flying perk. he literally did this; Screamed some curse words walked out without his deck. i think he was mad that I a new... (see all)

I love making things fly inappropriately via U/G cheese. I wonder know why more people don't play that color combo. They should start soon, with all the proliferate effects.

Horribly bad. But what should we expect from a Precon Rare...
It's sad how "Intro Pack Rare" is almost synonym to "bad Card". I even got my hopes up with the SoM Phyrexian Poison Deck featuring two good rares...
Even Trample alone would have made this card ok~good.
