This card just won't die. As long as you have mana open to regenerate him, he can "die" four or five times over AT LEAST before he actually goes to the 'yard. And then he comes back next turn so he can take five or six more killing blows. An absolute champion.
5/5

Ruling: "If an effect puts Golgari Grave-Troll onto the battlefield from your graveyard, Golgari Grave-Troll counts itself as one of the cards in your graveyard and gets a counter accordingly."
"Why are you so big? Don't you feed off the dead?"
"Yup."
"But nothing is dead."
"There's one thing."
"No, the graveyard is empty."
"I'm dead."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am."
"You're talking to me."
"I WAS dead."
"But now you're not."
"Nope."
"So why are you so big?"
"I ate myself."
"You ate yourself?"
"Uh-huh."
"That's impossible."
"No it isn't."
"It would make you smaller."
"I got bigger."
"How does that work?"
"Magic."

Let's face it, Dredge was incredibly abusable, and the Grave-Troll was one of the best at abusing it. When it dredges, it feeds itself!
I might also be the only person who actually likes the art. It looks like it's backlit by sunset, which makes it look more peaceful and relaxing before it tears your arms off.

Trygon, you are NOT the only one. Though I was hoping for new art, I DEFINITELY want this guy to stay PINK forever! :D I was hoping maybe he'd look like Ivan Ooze if he was the Face Mythic of the Golgari Box :3

The coolest thing about this print? The updated Golgari Signet.
Seriously. Practically makes it a collectible just on that factor.
That, and the card is bonkers when you play him. And stupid when you play him right.
Yay Golgari reprints!

The really funny thing is, when they first printed this, they probably thought that a higher number on the Dredge made it worse.

I'm gonna pretend the art for Loleth Troll is the new art for this. Its not bad, its just kinda underwhelming compared to the card itself

In my country, a novice like me simply does not troll a troll without pay a troll trolo toll. This you can understand? Not a fun guy because he does not die to the removal spell from Mono-Black controlo deck!
