The new "Gouger" isn't a 4/4.... he's a 4/3 and has unearth..... he's fantastic..and uncommon obv....
This is Zesty's quote from the Bolas thread. I thought it deserved its own thread.
From the creator of the Bolas thread, his friend said it was the new gouger and costs some combination of red and black. So I presume it has a CC of 3, but I don't know if it's 1RB, or RRB, or RBB.
Doesn't mean it can't block just cause it's a gouger. Toxic Iguanar could mean that you lose 2 life when it comes into play, making it hurt more with unearth......
Infectious Horror sounds like it has an activated ability beyond Unearth.
Also, this is all still speculation? The drawback could be terrible- I'm sure by Gouger, he just meant RB 4 power creature for 3, not so much the Can't Block part. (not saying it can't happen, just saying it sounds a little overpowered still...)
He doesn't really say that it is a gouger so being a thrinax is a possiblity.
Here is my stab at the card.
Scarland Thrinax
:1mana::symb::symr:
Uncommon
Creature - Lizard
At the beginning of your upkeep sacrifice Scarland Thrinax unless you sacrifice a land you control.
Unearth BR
4/3

Unearth BR
4/3
Sacrificing a land is not better than can't block, especially since his 3 toughness doesn't make him the best blocker anyway. I could maybe see a one time sac, but not every turn.
Scarland Thrinax
:1mana::symb::symr:
Uncommon

When Scarland Thrinax comes into play, sacrifice Scarland Thrinax unless you sacrifice a land you control.
Unearth BR

Unearth BR
4/3
That makes him kind of bad if you ask me. This drawback seems like to much.
So it's just:
Grixis Slave Driver 1BR
Creature - Zombie Giant (Uncommon)
Grixis Slave Driver can't block.
Unearth BR
4/3
?
Taking the name from another thread of a card similar to this, name may be wrong

Don't know the name either.
Update (Thanks Zesty!):
Shambling Remains :1mana::symr::symb:
(Creature - Zombie?) (U)
Can't block
Unearth :symr::symb:
4/3
Awesome New Gouger
:1mana::symb::symr:
Uncommon
Creature - Horror(?)
Unearth 2R(?)
4/3
If his Unearth is any cheaper or perhaps something like :symb::symr:, it would be out of this world good. Blightning Aggro FTW!

Iguanar says lizard says red. Toxic says black. Toxic also says some sort of disgusting, poisonous ability ... like rising out of a graveyard.
Infectious Horror could fit the flavor just as easily though.

That's a nameless inversion that didn't hit ram gang or FoD and with unearth he still comes back and beats. Seems good.

Awsome Gouger

Uncommon
Creature - Elemental
Awesome Gouger must attack each turn if able.
:symr::symb: Unearth
4/3
If Scarland Thrinax would be dealt damage, instead it deals that damage to you.
Punisher effect? and less hasseling than not being able to block....
No, that would leave the creature on the board still. If anything it would be like the Jackal Pup effect.
Whenever New Gouger is dealt damage, it deals that much damage to you.
Brainfart. Yeah, that's what I meant... I couldn't remember the templating on the pup
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice a creature you control. Whenever you sacrifice a creature this way, put a +1/+1 counter on ~.
Enjoy..... and yes is exactly like a Gouger!!!
Zesty;)
So it's just:
Grixis Slave Driver 1BR
Creature - Zombie Giant (Uncommon)
Grixis Slave Driver can't block.
Unearth BR
4/3
?
Taking the name from another thread of a card similar to this, name may be wrong
