I'm not big on tarmogoyf type creatures in cube but this thing will be decent. Can get huge pretty quick and easily but very vulnerable in combat to removal throwing off math vs original tarmy.
Has benefits of being cute, a good lil boy and also very nice looking.
This card seems pretty nuts to me. helping deal with targeted removal which can be a pain for green is a huge bump. Having trample to boot, I'm pretty much begging for my opponent to remove a triplet or two.
Have to decide whether to cut primeval titan or craterhoof behemoth for this since neither of those cards have been doing much lately.
Seems like fine filler for drafts where there are multiple drafters in red aggro but I dont think I would choose to play this in most decks over the options currently available.
I think the effect is fine but agree with asmallcat that this is a tough sell in boros decks. Would be much better as a simic land where counters actually matter.
Only running collonade and tarpit out of the originals and den of the bugbear, cave of the frost dragon, and friends fill the role of lands becoming threats nicely that I don't feel these are needed unless there is one that is really pushed (fingers crossed)
Really wish this gave the counters at the start of combat so it did something the turn you pay 5 mana for it. I feel like this might be too much of a do nothing or win more card.
I'm still torn over this vs krasis. Both seem better or worse than the other at different points of the curve (see below). The extra 2/2 boost on goose really shines at 3 mana where krasis is unplayable. in the later turns krasis can help stabilize nicely but the bigger body of goose also helps stabilize and provides way more of a "must answer" body. How long it will live is questionable... You may never get your cards. But, at least you have artifact density (which may or may not matter) and some life to buy time with. It doesn't have trample like Krasis, but krasis's body is so small on most turns I dont think the trample is going to matter much anyways.
I think you might only keep P&K if you have an artifact archetype.
