Rare!?? After all the uncommon legends, I thought this one had to be downgraded. I generally like this set, but jeez, couldn't we have had Doran or Gaddock Teeg from Lorwyn?

It is a disappointing rare for sure, but a 4/4 lifelink with a repeatable instant-speed damage ability (that gains life) would be...a lot for limited.
I keep toying with making Brion my next commander, maybe a foil one of these babies with that watermark will be what finally convinces me.

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

I feel you. Doran, is much more “Lorwyn” to me than this. I’m sad not from a value perspective but from what I think each set should be remembered for
They already did a Giant deck in C15 (Wade into Battle), granted the tribal components/emphasis weren't as strong as the last set of Commander decks, nor was his brother in it (more surprisingly, neither was Brion).
All the talks about how broken he would be at uncommon for limited. You know what the best solution to that would be? Not.Putting.Him.In.The.Set.
Did anyone REALLY want him reprinted?
The mentally insane possibly?

They seem quite determined to not reprint relatively recent judge foils (Ravages of War, Overwhelming Forces, Imperial Seal, also before someone jumps on me, Imperial Recruiter's Judge foil isn't relatively recent) and considering Doran and Teeg were within that timeframe...
If packs were 4$ a piece I wouldn't feel bad about opening one of these. And that's the problem. I love the card, but the cost of getting one in a pack is brutal.

True. I did think about that, but then immediate forgot in my annoyance at this 25 cent rare.
Okay, I checked, and Brion actually hasn't had that many printings. I thought he was one of those cards they reprinted in every commander release.

Nice reprint, Good limited card
