I love Silvos. First and most relevantly, he is a relatively cheap immense trampling beatstick that is hard to get rid of (
isn't going to break the bank), but secondly, the flavour is hilarious. Most pit fighters are human, but imagine you have to fight this in the pits.

Maybe this could get a reprint in M12? It sits about right in power level for a rare and it'd be cool to have legends in the core sets again - after all, we have planeswalkers.

For those who don't know, this is one of the five legendary pit fighters from Onslaught. They all cost six mana total, three colorless and 3 of one color. They are:
Jareth, Leonine Titan, Arcanis the Omnipotent, Visara the Dreadful, Rorix Bladewing, and Silvos, Rogue Elemental

@LeoKula: actually he's an elemental legend, and costs 6.

The "It can't be regenerated" clause that was so common in it's environment weakened Silvos considerably at the time. In a modern environment, he's all the more formitable. I just love it when old cards gain new value.

This is like one of my favorite cards of all time. Awsome name, pic, stats, cost, everything.

"It's a six-mana card that doesn't end the game right away. That is weak... often-irrelevant regeneration."
So your saying a 6 mana card should end the game right away? Are you mad? I can't think of a single 6 mana card that gives you an insta-win. Regeneration also isn't useless. What kind of game would Magic be if every other 6 mana creature was so absurdly powerful it won the game for you?

8/5 Trample Regen for 6 mono? Umm 5/5.

es cheap to play, and hard to get rid of, as well as a splasher. Hard to get better.
