Nice card. I like this kind of mechanic. It would be even crazier if they branched out, for example this lion got some kind of bonus if you control a swamp. But I guess that breaks the color rules. . . maybe in a future set. . .

Beauty of mine, sit before me. Let me peruse you and remember you... always like this.
Nothing in this game is degenerate or completely dominant. They haven't banned anything in standard in a long, long time. Hell they should have banned affinity right away, but they didn't until boxed sales collapsed too. Hasbro had to come in and fire people.
I'll enjoy watching all the whiners eat crow monday.
Strange. I thought he'd be called Graypelt Lion since that blue Merfolk that gets better with a Plains is named Sejiri Merfolk. But then again Summit Apes gets better with a Forest too and is not a reference to anything (though maybe he's not in the cycle).
That sounds like a much better name than Loam Lion.

wow cool another card for my turbo tempo mono blue counter burn aggro control deck!
eh?
Well, I've always liked Kird Ape, so I don't see this ever being bad. Just depends if WG aggro will actually be good enough for std.
Also I personally don't think there is enough room in zoo for it to run Kird Ape and this version. I might be wrong, but it depends if you want Zoo to change into WG/r aggro.
Not terribly impressed with the design, but I am kind of interested to see how many different types of aggro decks a single format can support. Naya burn, now active.
I like it it makes standard naya alot better. 4 steppe lynx, 4 loam lion, 4 nacatl, 4 goblin guide with quasaili pridemage and hellspark for 2 drops, and knight of the reliquary, and wolly thoctar for mid game. Then bbelf, ranger for CA and baneslayer for late game. Then you have bolt, pte and burst lightning for burn. You laso have a lot of nice sb options against control in luminarch ascension and ajani vengeant. I think ill go make a naya thread...

I believe WoTC's new policy is to make sure that every color can enjoy the exciting gameplay mechanic of making undercosted dudes and then turning them sideways. Clearly the future of magic.

I agree, it seems kinda lame, but whatever. A white cat kird ape, whoo.

Yeah, seems pretty redundant with steppe lynx in the format, I guess this blocks better in most cases.
Or maybe they'll reprint kird ape in m11 so standard zoo will be viable for a short time.

And don't cats usually have P >= T?
