I don't see any reason to print a card like this. If you want fast mana, there are much better choices. And since it doesn't have a combat-relevant ability beside trample, it's overall underwhelming for 7/6.

@Everyone saying how fast you can get this guy out
Why even bother? It seems like you're trying too hard to make him useful when he isn't *that* useful. In most of the combos, you use 5+ cards just to get this guy on the battlefield for minimal real benefit. While we're playing make-believe, how about this scenario. Slightly more believable, if you ask me.
(Quoted from Exender, works with any of these "turn 3 Vorinclex" plans though)
"Turn 1: Forest, Arbor Elf"
Turn 1 - Opponent: Swamp.
"Turn 2: Forest, Wild Growth on untapped Forest, Tap Forest for 2, Untap with Arbor Elf, Tap again for a total of 4, cast Explosive Vegetation to get 2 more Forests onto the battlefield."
Turn 2 - Opponent: Swamp
"Turn 3: Forest (you now have a total of 5 Forests on the battlefield one of which taps for 4 mana thanks to Arbor Elf), Cast Vorinclex, Voice of Hunger and watch you opponent(s) cry!" By my calculations, you now have 2 cards left in your hand. I sure hope they're really good and cost enoug... (see all)

Vorinclex, dumb muscle of the Praetors. As Beast as they come, but lacking the brainpower god gave a goat. Still, think of all the fun you can have in a beast deck! Or a Red/Green Dragon Deck! By the time Vorinclex is out, the game is basically over, but the fun is just beginning!

How is this not 5 stars? The only problem I have with it is that it's only 7/6. There are better cards for around that much. (see Worldspine Wurm) However, the land ability is game-winning. Just imagine, both of you playing mana ramp decks, you get this out turn 5-6, and they have even more mana then you(IMPOSSIBRU). Then, you play this, which is essentially the magic card form of the term "screw you."
And it has trample. That's a nice touch.

Ehhh...a bit unimpressive for how late it comes out. Still, not too bad.

Possibly the most viable Praetor, solely due to greens mana ramping. Should be showing his ugly mug turn four consistently.

This plus Omnath, Locus of Mana = win

This card isn't much of a praetor... but it's still one of the best cards I've ever seen.
