The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I am right i has emerge 6GGG, when yo cast -, creatures you control gets trample and +2/+2. haste and trample. but I am not sure about the menaing of wirkst.
Seems really bad for a mythic, assuming the translation is correct (Which I think it is).
So far the emerge costs seem really expensive, at least looking at limited. I mean, theoretically you can drop this t5 off a 4-drop, but holy crap sacking your 4 drop just to upgrade to this guy seems...very unlikely to be the correct play. And 10 mana is ridiculous. I'm glad we don't have another craterhoof behemoth for EDH, but I'm not going to be happy to see this in boosters.
With elves this doesn't give as much as a blowout as you get with craterhoof, BUT, because of emerge you can cast it way earlier.
With other two elves in play, Tap elvish archdruid for 3 mana, sac Druid, tap 3 lands, swing for 13

This thing doesn't even look taller than the average Innistrad tree, and it's larger stat-wise in a vacuum than Craterhoof Behemoth.
Well, it may be a mythic, but here's hoping it stays the trash Mythic we all predict it to be so I can pick a foil one on the cheap for my Colorless Eldrazi collection...
Calamari still the best Emerge creature in my opinion.
I know we have all of the Eldrazi stuff floating around, but it is a wonder why they just didn't reprint Craterhoof Behemoth...oh wait, that's because it is showing up in MM3 and they want as many people going after those packs instead of these.
After that I guess this is interesting enough, although who knows if this can see any play.
Princess Mononoke reference? Good show, Wizards, good show!
Pretty sure I've heard the same about each new spoiled boar...
Yeah pretty sure this is the only one corrupted in such a way that it almost directly resembles Okkoto in his transformed state at the end of the film... I think that certainly merits a mention here. Don't know what the people in the other threads were seeing 0_o
I'm not sure exactly where this creature fits in. The ability is best abused with a tokens deck, of course, but you would need a 6-mana creature to get maximum Emerge reduction of cost.
ManaCost:10
Types: Eldrazi Boar
Emerge: 6GGG
Whenever you cast CARDNAME, creatures you control gain +2/+2 and trample until end of turn.
Trample, Haste

This beastie is a shining example of a limited atomic bomb... many a game will end brutally and viscerally on the back of this majestic monstrosity

At first I was thinking how it would be pretty good in GW Tokens, but then I remembered Tokens are 0 CMC.

i am currently waiting for some cheaper Emerge creatures so you can emerge them into each other.
Cute interaction in my opinion =)
Correct, I don't play commander. I forget this isn't the standard section. Most of my comments are generally in reference to competitive standard.
