I absolutely love this turtle! I made something like him in a custom set that made all creatures durdle like this when they attacked. This is one bad rare I'll be glad to open!
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I can't wait till I can play my bicycle land out, thus making me heckbent, while I have Nessie on the field. You know, so I can attack with my Pervert.
funny thing is your opponent knows that they will die...eventually. He is strong defensively and an interesting "clock" that includes at tick and tock. Love the flavor, turles no move fast.

Alright, THAT one is worse. I'll totally agree about that.
Durdle Turtle is ONE of the worst rares in MTG history.
One with Nothing, Moonlace...there are a LOT of really bad rares if look hard enough. I'd say Durdle Turtle is simply just bad, nowhere near the worst rares ever.
Why do people act as though the Durdle Turtle says "must attack each turn if able"?
Well, an earthbound 5/9 wall for 5 mana isn't the greatest thing either :/
I can totally see this being one of those special cards that particular people would want to collect hundreds of though. I can't wait to see someone's durdle turtle binder.
I read through the idea of using Whip of Erebos or the Termur Acendancy with this to great effect, but what happens if you Clone this guy and then attack? I imagine the Clone will go out, but will it come back? and if it does will it come back tapped and attacking as whatever you want as you just copied anything on the field you wanted?

Not a judge, but...I think that's correct. The self-exile and return is all one single ability that triggers when you declare attacks; it doesn't care about anything that may change about the creature after it goes off. And since the Clone re-entering the battlefield is a new object, it doesn't retain any of its old characteristics (same as with any normal blink effect).
I predict I'll end up opening between five and nine of these things between sealed, draft, and purchased product. Still, nice flavor...though I wonder why it's Sultai and not Temur or Abzan.
I'd play the hell out of this card in limited. A 5/9 body for 5 is still solid as hell, even if it takes 2 turns to attack.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)
I felt the same way about Perplexing Chimera as some people do about the turtle. (They don't know why, but they cannot resist it's charm). I must own about 10 Chimeras.
This guy can actually be tricky, attack with him, he gets exiled for a turn, on the turn he's gone, use Duneblast pick one of your better creatures, next turn he comes into a clear or mostky clear board and dominates.
Well, people like me aren't big on opening a whole bunch of lands. Sure, they're essential for competitive play, and they help smooth out the mana for Commander decks, but they're not nearly as exciting or fun as unique spells like Towershell here. So, if I end up with a bunch of fetches and nothing like Turtle here, I'm gonna wanna trade some fetches in. Which means, if you don't open the fetches you want, then trade for some! We ALL win!

Same. I want as many of these as I can get my hands on. I'll buy every single one of these opened at my LGS.
