Total side note but I like how people are discussing running this over itself.
Well, it has to be said that Kolaghan is clearly better than Kolaghan. Considering what BR decks usually want and how stiff the competition in this guild is, there is no way that I would run Kolaghan over Kolaghan! Kolaghan might make it in as the sixth guild card or so. Kolaghan on the other hand ranks several places below that.
It was so funny to me when they described this as a downgrade to the original Zurgo during the Pax East panel. I was thinking if this is a downgrade, they should really "downgrade" all legendary creatures. Haha.
My deck designing is quite concise at this point:
1. Come up with deck idea
2. Realize this idea is somehow fundamentally similar to another deck I have or that is commonly played in my group
3. Decide I don't want to disassemble one of my existing decks
4. Give up and do nothing
I don't see the point of this new shroud mechanic. It's strictly worse than Hexproof. Threshold is pretty bad too, Delirium is a much better mechanic and probably easier to activate.
Otherwise this card is a pretty neat guy. Dodges removal and grows into a Primal Huntbeast. 3/5
Don't worry, you'll be in Blue. Simic, no less. You'll get all these cards, cast them, and still have mana and advantage to counter. Besides, these are all permanents. NEXT TURN IT IS!
Well it IS a deck that includes green, so of course there was going to be a "big things matter" card. Mana cost is a bit steep, but other than that I like it.
Mana cost is not really an issue if you are playing green.
Solid green stomper, either alone or with others.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
Rite of Replication on this guy = 36 triggers, which if put on the original give a cool 4.123E11 power/toughness
Not quite. You’d only get 30 triggers (the original sees five enchantments entering and each token sees 4 enchantments entering plus themselves). While still a rather larger number, 1,073,741,824 is significantly less than 4.123E11

You can now one shot with it. Include Thassa for unblockable.
It takes 3 cards to build a one-shot combo, and a Fog to wipe the smile off your face.
Stinks that Fog is such an EDH staple

You jest, but a single mana to negate fatal damage isn't something to be sneezed at.
Mana cost is not really an issue if you are playing green.

Replenish is on the Reserved List, right? They'd NEVER be so dumb as to reprint that.
Not quite. You’d only get 30 triggers (the original sees five enchantments entering and each token sees 4 enchantments entering plus themselves). While still a rather larger number, 1,073,741,824 is significantly less than 4.123E11
