Hm... seems like a worse version of Elephant Guide at first glance. Depending on what you put it on. Guide on a 1/1 gives you a 4/4 and a 3/3, while this gives you a 4/4 and a 1/1. Guide on a 5/5 gives you an 8/8 and a 3/3, while this gives you an 8/8 and a 5/5.

It's a Better Version of Oakenform though, in that it costs the same and gives the same bonus, but can take a hit for killspells...
Yeah the totem armors seem dull. I'm sure they will be okay in limited and some will even make it to standard, but they're as exciting as a vanilla creature.
Rancor and armadillo cloak are not aura's, they are actually their own card type, aurasome's
still, depending on the removal in rise, seems decent for limited, not quite as good as hyena umbra though...
By the way, aren't most boars in red, not green?

But nothing compares to Tarmogoyf. He was an anomaly, like Neo in the Matrix. In fact, one time I saw a Tarmogoyf stop bullets in midair, then fly off the table around the room a bit before winning the game.
It's understandable blue control players would be shocked and in denial at the notion of this card, since their decks have been dominating multiple formats for an eternity yet they've curiously never once had to deal with any counter-hosers that weren't ineffectual, narrow CRAP.
This is excellent. The +3/+3 for 3 green aura with the card saving ability. I like it.
It may not look shmancy now, but assuming there's no Path/Swords variant in ROE, this will be solid post rotation.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

A quick search says no, actually.

Maybe if it gave Trample...if only...
I suppose they're green now, since Garruk.

Moldervine Cloak saw a lot of play in standard. this one isn't quite as good, but might be playable depending on what removal looks like post-Scars.
on second thought, with all these huge Eldrazi running around, the amount of awesome removal available might not be going anywhere for a while.
Moldervine Cloak had a good run back in the day because he had very solid evasion creatures to go on. He does not have that currently.
Aw, you're cute! You were too young to play magic when Rancor was around weren't you!
Are you saying this is worse than that white common? I don't understand that at all.
