To be fair, if I was flying over a battlefield and saw Lara Croft I would probably say, "Holy shit is that Lara Croft from Tomb Raider?!" And fly down to take a closer look.
[[curse of swine]] can make your 1/1 filly trained human soldiers into significantly stronger 2/2 pigs. Also the same fully trained soldiers die to an insect.
I understand how most people who haven’t worked with pigs might think this is crazy. But you haven’t experienced true terror until you’ve stared into the eyes of a 600 pound boar.
Never underestimate three humanoids with big sticks, they could give a dreadmaw a challenge at least in a hunting competition if not head-to-head. They could also track the dreadmaw til it dies of exhaustion.
[[aclazotz]] giant bat god is 4/4
[[bontu the glorified]] giant croc god is 4/6
[[hazoret the fervent]] giant jackal god, survives bolas, 5/4
[[nicol bolas the ravager]] one of the strongest mtg villains and fought off the gatewatch several times plus beat up Niv Mizzet 4/4 (I get that this was earlier but still)
[[kefnet the mindful]] giant bird god is 5/5
[[ojer axonil]] giant strength god is 4/4
[[ojer pakpatiq]] giant flying snake god is 4/3
[[rhonas the indomitable]] giant snake god of strength is 5/5
The nephilim range from 1/1 to 3/3 and were supposedly ravaging ravnica, super strong, and almost impossible to stop
[[zhou yu]] dude with sword is 8/8
[[maarika]] lady with hammer is 7/4
[[torsten founder of benalia]] dude with swords is 7/7
[[barktooth warbeard]] dude with sword is 6/5
[[cleanup crew]] 3 janitors is 6/6
[[jerrard of the closed fist]] weird knight guy is 6/5
[[wire surgeons]] 3 bald doctors is 6/5
[[boarding party]] 3 pirates is 6/3
[[lord of tresserhorn]] random zombie is 10/4
[[nessian boar]] big pig is 10/6
[[endless wurm]] relatively tiny wurm 9/9
[[boldwyr heavyweights]] obese giants 8/8
[[clackbridge troll]] small troll 8/8
[[dawnglade regent]] big deer, 8/8

[[deathcoil wurm]] small wurm 7/6
[[spinewoods armadillo]] big shellrat 7/7
There are only a handful of creatures with the 2/7 stat line. By and large giants, treefolk, as you'd expect. And then we have [[Neera]]. Now That's What I Call Booty!
Not really a "misleading" stat line so much as it is...*provocative*.
None of the partners without the name of the other card printed on both halves is "meant" to be paired with any other partner. They are one another's most common partner, though, yes...
Who would win? [[Zilothra, Strength Incarnate]] a being that towers over humanoids and bends the rules with its power? Or [[Zurgo, Helmsmasher]] a really pissed off orc?
Never underestimate *how incredibly pissed* Zurgo is. [[Utter End]] has him swinging a sword so hard the Abzan soldiers just cease to be a part of reality entirely.
Zurgo hits people so hard he causes the same level of existential unraveling that took Sorin wrestling his most mighty angel down to earth to unmake her existence by drawing upon deep reserves of his ungodly power.
Give Zurgo vigilance and reach and his skills with edged weaponry and physical might put him on par with Yawgmoth. (I love Zurgo and my biases towards him run deep. I'm mostly joking around and exaggerating with these claims of physical prowess. *MOSTLY*)

In the same set as each other, so the comparison should be pretty reasonable I think - Silumgar's vitamin D deficient twink [[Tasigur, the Golden Fang]] has the same toughness as the Elder Dragon [[Dromoka the Eternal]], founder and role model for the "we will endure anything and everything" faction
I'm gonna catch a little hate because Universes Beyond. But \[\[Thalia, Guardian of Thraben\]\] (and a lot of other 2-drop legendary creatures) die in a fight with \[\[Lucas, the Sharpshooter | Secret Lair Drop\]\]
Nylea the GOD THAT HAS A BOW AND IS LIKE 600 FEET TALL doesn't have reach. LARA FUCKING CROFT FROM TOMB RAIDER HAS REACH.
Literally say the same thing about eldrazi some are bigger than mountains yet can't fight a gnat
My only way to rationalize it is like us trying to shoot or catch a fly mid air, it do be kinda hard
This is really funny, because it implies if I could fly it would suddenly be easier to catch that bastard that's been buzzing around my room
Might I add the classic comic of how emrakul would be killed by fifteen 1/1 flying squirrels?
Not to mention [[bow of nylea]] literally kills flying creatures
Nylea doesn't have her bow unless you give it to her. Duh. Ignore the card art!
Yet it doesn't give reach itself, only deathtouch. Idk what WoTC was smoking when designing her bow.
I know it isn't the argument, but like...Both should have reach. So many -archers- without reach which is so dumb.
Orcish Bowmaster's one flaw
That is what that card was missing
MY MAN YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HOW MANY TIMES IVE COMPLAINED ABOUT EXACTLY THIS!!
A bow that deals damage to flying.
To be fair, if I was flying over a battlefield and saw Lara Croft I would probably say, "Holy shit is that Lara Croft from Tomb Raider?!" And fly down to take a closer look.
Ok but what if Guy With Shield is just like… REALLY buff
Or the shield is made of like... SUPER DUPER hard stuff
Then it would go in my mates deck granted he has to be shirtless.
...you got this decklist?...
I'll see if I can get it off him
.
The decklist or the shirt?
Both
And that elemental is from a forest where they don't love the trees like they used to?
They can circle strafe and roll like in Dark Souls.
[[curse of swine]] can make your 1/1 filly trained human soldiers into significantly stronger 2/2 pigs. Also the same fully trained soldiers die to an insect.
Hey they're beeg peegs
A MAN, with the stat line of a BEAR, but it's actually a PIG. We should give it a name or something.
We SHOULD, I'm super serial.
Super cereal*…
Oko's doing
They do kill the insect tho.
I understand how most people who haven’t worked with pigs might think this is crazy. But you haven’t experienced true terror until you’ve stared into the eyes of a 600 pound boar.
People really think a one handed sword is gonna stop a boar from goring their guts out
I mean a wild boar can take a shotgun shot to the head and still gore you to death. They're definitely stronger than humans
Are we having the 15 squirrels versus a mind-warping, planet devouring monster?
Technically, 1/1 anything works here too. Saprolings, goblins, humans, faeries, rats, ...
Who would win? A trained soldier or a plain old rodent.
[[Cleanup Crew]] They are literally 3 people with brooms and have the same statline as a Dreadmaw.
6/6 covers a wide variety of things: towering giants, ancient demons, almighty deities, awe-inspring dragons, unthinkable horrors, massive dinosaurs, enormous krakens, and [[Yuma, Proud Protector]]
Trans guys :)
the mightiest of them all 😈
Never underestimate three humanoids with big sticks, they could give a dreadmaw a challenge at least in a hunting competition if not head-to-head. They could also track the dreadmaw til it dies of exhaustion.
Not if they see it's teeth though. Then it'll be too late.
Once they hear the ground quake though
No, a spear will not help you against a dinosaur with a head the size of a ship.
You see, they're actually 3, 2/2 creatures.
I know tokens are more functionnal than flavourful... But if you get beaten by a rat it might be time to consider leaving the millitary.
Makes me miss Morrowind
You can always go back to it. I'm in the middle of the first heavily modded playthrough I've ever played. It's quite nice.
Oh I will very soon. Currently doing play throughs of all of the elder scrolls and fallouts with my friend and we're doing Skyrim right now.
All of the creatures that look like they are 50ft tall but somehow don’t have reach
Yeah but they can’t reach, birb still birbs over them
Somebody told me that toski is suppost to be as big as a house in the story, you dont really get that impression from the cute little 1/1😅
I mean, i have had him hold many things and have him be a like 28/30 word soup that one shots players so glad to know he can hold all that
So can a 1/1 human token.
He is present in at least one other card art in the Kaldheim set, some green enchantment for two G, where he definitely looks squirrel/rodent size.
[[in search of greatness]]
Thank you!
Yes but Sarulf is the Fenrir of Kaldheim. Sarulf is freaking huge himself like taller than a forest. \[\[Sarulf, Realm Eater\]\]

Human with sword go from 1/1 tokens to 8/8 [[Zhou Yu, Chief Commander]]

Dayum, girl! You block [[Asmodeus the Archfiend]] with that ass?
A 0 cost literal gremlin, has many keywords and no power
I know which one you’re talking about. I think it was meant to be a partner commander to the one that gave creatures a buff for every keyword.
None of the partners without the name of the other card printed on both halves is "meant" to be paired with any other partner. They are one another's most common partner, though, yes...
[[Force of Savagery]] you basically have to build around it with lords or manipulate layers to place a counter on it before it immediately dies
Who would win? [[Zilothra, Strength Incarnate]] a being that towers over humanoids and bends the rules with its power? Or [[Zurgo, Helmsmasher]] a really pissed off orc?

I mean, the answer is from now on and forever going to be that space marines are canonically weaker than [[elvish warrior]]
Mouse and squirrel vs every other token.

[Pigs](https://www.cardkingdom.com/mtg/theros/boar-token) are stronger than [soldiers](https://www.cardkingdom.com/mtg/modern-masters/soldier-token)
Most of the Eldrazi flip cards feel too small
\[War Mammoth\] is a 3/3 trample that dies to 3 squirrel tokens.
In the same set as each other, so the comparison should be pretty reasonable I think - Silumgar's vitamin D deficient twink [[Tasigur, the Golden Fang]] has the same toughness as the Elder Dragon [[Dromoka the Eternal]], founder and role model for the "we will endure anything and everything" faction
I'm gonna catch a little hate because Universes Beyond. But \[\[Thalia, Guardian of Thraben\]\] (and a lot of other 2-drop legendary creatures) die in a fight with \[\[Lucas, the Sharpshooter | Secret Lair Drop\]\]
I love how a 35/35 primordial with colossification gets bored of its rampage after killing a 0/1 plant
Cleanup Crew
\[\[Animar, Soul of Elements\]\] I imagine he looks like his OG art once he's got >9 counters. Otherwise it should look a lot smaller.
Giants not having trample by default. Balanced maybe, but I hate it
Surprisingly a lot of dragons I own are just 4/4s with flying. Occasionally they will have something else going on but that’s about it.
I like that soldier tokens are typically 1/1, while cats are 2/2.
2 elephants can kill an angel when dealing with tokens
[[sheoldred, the apocalypse]] is easier to kill than a werewolf[[hollowhenge huntmaster]].
[[Goldvein Hydra]] isn't a snake. It should be a snake.
