Well, if there ever was a guy whose gigantic appearance in the artwork didn't fit his fighting stats, it is Mountain Titan. What a pity, because I actually like this card somehow. I bet he would be 4/4 today and his ability would cost

Sad by today's standards, and rather questionable even back when it was printed. It requires a lot of effort to get this thing up to "useful" for its casting cost, and even then it dies to everything... even bounce effects will reduce it back to being a laughably small creature. Perhaps if it had only been able to gain a single +1/+1 counter per turn when you cast a black spell, but there was no cost to activating the ability, it might have been useful. As is... well, Giants have come a long way.

Interesting. Not that exceptional, but definitely interesting.
He probably would be a 4/4; compare him to Brion Stoutarm. You know what guys, I'm beginning to think that WotC might be making creatures a lot stronger recently...

@ holgir: I'm inclined to disagree, 'cause Roil Elemental.

I like the idea of using his ability several times in one turn somehow, then playing a bunch of "little black bastards"

@FragNutMK1: Let's see:
Turn 1: Mountain
Turn 2: Swamp, Dark Ritual, this
Turn 3: Mountain, Dark Ritual, activate this, Will-o'-the-Wisp and Stone-Throwing Devils (he's now 4/4)
That's quite fast.

This guy should be taught in Economics 101 as an example of "opportunity cost". After you're done burning a bunch of mana and chump spells to make him merely mediocre, think of all the cool stuff you could've had instead.
