    Honestly seems like an EDH card, but I’ll at least try to make something silly happen with this and Bedrock Tortoise in Standard.

    Is this not a bit op? Seems like 11 toughness for a green deck isn’t that hard.

    I’m a noob so I may be misunderstanding.

      It’s not hard if the opponent doesn’t have removal, but if your creatures don’t stick on board this is a dead card in hand. It also doesn’t do much on the battlefield except block, and needs more mana to attack at which point it still only has 3 power and does nothing if blocked (or removed).

      It Is not a bit op. 10 toughness is hard to put on the board without killing the opponent before this becomes relevant. Less to cast only reduces generic mana costs.

      4 mana to activate means this is too expensive to be played.

      Edit: you can force the enemy to deck themselves. Might be top tier jank. Can be activated any number of times too.

        I don’t think you can make your opponent draw. It says “target creature you control”.

        Agreed that this is overall too slow to see constructed play. There was a time when this would have been a powerful card, but not in 2024.
