A really good card on paper, but it suffers from the same thing every creature other than Simic Sky Swallower suffers from: there is a plethora of good spot removal in the format. How often can this guy actually hit?
That isn't to say that he won't be very good or that he shouldn't see play. It's just that Ophidian was good because it hit all day, this guy won't be able to do that. |

Uhm, wait a minute...*looks through green box*...I have Shielding Plax and Priviledged Position here for removal, not to mention Naturalize against Pillory of the Sleepless or Faith's Fetters. I got Fists of Ironwood and Lure to give it evasion. Oh look! Blanchwood Armor, Wurmweaver Coil and Moldervine Cloak boost toughness too! Sad to see that all these are mono-green playable... Look things up before posting nonsense. |

Good card, both abilities are nice..
And whatever for the spot removal - each targetable creature suffers from it..
As a UG Snakes deck player i can see this card beeing good as just stopping an early aggression or generating a nice card advantage.. |

| This card is at least a 1 for 1 trade, putting it on par with the -fy spells. If it hits anything, though, it's card advantage is nuts. Awesome card, definitely something I want for of for my green decks. |
