Uhh, i am not sure how much EDH you guys play, but it tends to go long, and get into areas where a butt-ton of mana is available. This check makes all of your eternal witnesses and sakura tribe elders scale up into the late game. In addition, the plusses given by her have a huge synergistic effect with the general and Vish Kal, making them HUUUGGE.

Phyrexian Dreadnought. Chorus helps you build up the requisite 12 power, then you can sink all your mana into the Dreadnought for a 20+/20+ trample.

A pleasant inclusion in Ghave's deck.

A bit unnecessary in a deck where the general is a mana sink, but you'll notice that my complaint is NOT that this is too expensive.

Since it is part of the cost (the reason it works with convoke), it also is nice with the Bannerets and other cost reduction triggers, like the commander-printed generals Karador, Ghost Chieftain and Animar, Soul of Elements, although it is off color for Animar. So you can effectively get free counters. But sadly doesn't work on tokens because they worded it that way.

If you are so unimpressed, why were you inspired to make your useless comment? If you can't see this for what it is, a very late game mana sink, then just move on and like the grown ups talk. This was not costed for it's power/toughness. It isn't an aggressive creature, period. The only reason it had the 8 toughness is to help it survive and give you a sizable wall to hide behind while you send out your extremely pumped creatures out on the offensive. Honestly, I think the only reason it has forestwalk is for flavor because of the creature type.

Am I the only one that thinks this isn't a good card? :/
You pay freaking 8 mana for a 3/8 forestwalk, and then from then on you can pay 1 for one +1+1 counter? Jesus. I am not impressed.

as a 3/6 for 6 mana... huh. still pretty unimpressive. A 3/4 for 4? that would be good, right?

this creature is....odd. Personally, I think 3 power is weak. No, I understand that the card is not really overcosted, and it's also not even supposed to be aggressive. It's one of those 'this creature is actually really an enchantment, that also happens to be able to block' cards. That's cool.
Considering Dryads are kinda like Elves, and they're green to boot, I would say you don't even have to think inside the Commander box to realize it's quite playable. Heh-heh: two words Doubling Season?
But, really, the 3 power is still bugging me. Isn't this supposed to be the Guildmasters of the Selesnya? Just like the Forestwalk was clearly a flavor add-on, I think that the flavor of 'Legendary creature cabal that heads the guild' should be worth 4 power at minimum, maybe even 5. Still keep the toughness end much higher than the power, so that people know they are better off blocking with it. But when I block stuff, it would be nice if they actually killed whatever attacked. :p
