Our legendary Peasant is recurring flavor text character and shady traveling merchant, Old Rutstein. His effect reflects how he gets his wares and contraband from across Kessig. No idea how to build around him, but it will be an interesting deck to see.
Goes all the way back to Dark Ascension. Hinterland Logger confirms them to be a merchant. And we know he sells anything from Neglected Heirlooms to Ominous Bottles. I like the showcase version because its illustration looks more deserving of the monicker "Old".

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.
[thread=239793][Game] Level Up - Creature[/thread]
I know this is a really fun card... but I'm gonna admit I'm a little disappointed. The "Legendry Creature - Human Peasant" is the spoiler I've been most excited for every since MaRo's cheat sheet as I expected it to be a powerful white 1 drop. And this is something, but it is definitely not that
I want to add that Merchant is a creature type I long hoped they would add to the game eventually. And now we get the a definitive Merchant legendary, but it's a Peasant after all.

This would have been a very interesting self-mill Commander if the second half of the ability was more open-ended and not tied to the etb and upkeep triggers, along the lines of the legendary Frog in this set. But not every legendary creature has to be for commander, and that's fine.
I like the artwork on the showcase version. I hate the artwork on the regular version. He looks like a 20 something year old with a receding hairline. I mean c'mon he has OLD in his freakin' name. Artwork FAIL.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Clearly he has a good skincare routine. His products must really work! Wow!
He kinda behaves like Druidic Satchel. Dunno if blocking better, swinging for 1, needing no mana input to get stuff, self-milling, a triggered instead of an activated ability, and easier ability to retrieve him in Modern compensates for dying to creature removal and having a coloured mana cost.
He also kinda sorta looks like Grist, the Hunger Tide, except face it, you tutor for Grist to off creatures and planeswalkers the vast majority of the time.

I also imagine on a plane where there's demons, zombies, werewolves, and vampires all over the place, life expectancy on Innistrad's gotta be like 23. So anything over 18 is probably considered retirement age.
I love pretty much any legend that can self mill, so I'm sure I'll try this in Standard.

Good try but nope. Flavor fail on the artists part.

To me, it came across as all those wards and holy objects he carries around to not-die having some... positive side effects.

And that's fine if you want to think that. I don't. Its a flavor fail on the artists part. They need to be called out when they do and WotC shouldn't have let this artwork be on this character card. Nice artwork, wrong character, wrong card.
