A card that gives a creature haste, trample and an awesome goatee? I'll take 4!

I like the card, but I hate the flavour. So apparently being a messenger means you trample through people?

****ing retarded.

The card is well-costed and I really like the combination of abilities. Good, and fair - at common rarity as well. Just hate that they gave it this stupid name and art.

I don't think ancient Greek knew that sound travels at a finite speed, that is, they wouldn't think the archer's insult was something that could be outrun. Those Izzet people, however... (See flavor text of Quicken)

Now maybe someone will take savageborn hydra decks a little more seriously. Slap one of these suckers on, add in some bloodrush, and bammo. Dead opponent.

I prefer giving my things haste without spending extra mana, like fervor. This does have trample tacked on, but has a 2 for 1 disadvantage.

I wouldnt run it but can make some noise in limited.

Cheap for all the benefits in this set. One red mana to trigger heroic, give monsters the punch of trample, or pull the surprise of haste. More and more I'm liking Red as a support color in draft.

I've drafted Theros eleven times so far, haven't seen it used yet in 33 matches. Seems it might be playable in a GR deck with the heroes getting +1/+1 counters. Considering the name, art, and very marginal playability, I think it should have been given "Flash" - for flavor and utility.

For one mana you get haste and trample, and a red trample at that. Great for early game haste and great for trample when you need it. And its an enchantment. 4/5 if this were an instant it be still a passing 3/5. I see tons of synergy with this and heroic.
