That's way too powerful, if it were three mana then at least Consume the Meek would hit it, but I doubt we'd get a 3cmc troll-shroud 3/4, his p/t would have to be tweaked.
The near certainly that he's a legendary creature already pretty much limits his power level. They really should swing for the fences with this guy, especially in a color that's going to heavily favor the Phyrexian faction.
Let my ignominy build walls thicker than iron and stronger than darksteel.
I'm imaging something pretty epic with that quote. He bares the shame of not participating and dying in the battle that consumed the rest of his people, and now he finally has a means to partially atone for it, something like:
Thrun, The Last Troll
1G: Regenerate Thrun, The Last Troll.
Troll-Shroud.
And a mana activated ability that turns him into a legendary planeswalker creature until end up turn with two planeswalker abilities. One that adds loyalty counters and another that removes them. All with a reasonable 3/4 body.
Am I the only one hoping Koth of the Hammer is the mythic rare? Throw in Hammerheim at rare and I could be talked into buying a deck. Otherwise, I may skip this one like I happily skipped the Coalition Vs. Phyrexia deck.
With Grafting Exoskeleton's preview (Equpment +2/+2 and infect)
if you equip it to a creature that already has infect... does it had infect infect? or just infect? I would assume only one instance of infect and the creature would only get the benefite of the +2/+2 correct?
You usually can tell if a keyword ability uses the stack is within its definition "when" or "whenever" is used. Other keyword abilities that don't directly use when or whenever have a number directly following it, for example "Fateseal 2".
Yes, BUT that equipment + indestructible creatue = win.
Infect and poison are in actually different things... funny how many still don't get that.
I have a gut feeling not many infect decks are going to go out of their way to run a few indestructible creatures just for this card, it just doesn't sound efficient to do that.
There is almost no reason to have a card that grants a creature infect. If you are playing constructed, all of your creatures will have infect already, and the effects do not stack. In limited, your infect creatures will effectively be fighting with your non-infect creatures to see which ones kill the opponent first. In a deck with infect and non-infect cards, infect serves as simply wither and reduces all damage done to players to 0 for that creature.
There's better more efficient ways to pump your infect creatures. The only reason I can see why you may want this equipment is if we get the second coming of Morphling in the foreseeable future.
Green needs a ways to deal with indestructible artifacts. How can it be the color that hates artifacts the most but not possess a reliable way to get rid of indestructible stuff is beyond me.
No, it doesn't. Both change the form of damage to creatures into another form, but they don't stack with each other. They both make every 1 damage to a creature = one -1/-1 counter. Just like lifelink no longer is cumulative, because it's not a triggered ability, it just modifies how the damage works.
I didn't say they stacked, they are both separate state-based effects and are applied separately.
So ridiculous. Guarenteed had someone submitted such a keyword in the custom card forums it would have been destroyed by critiques. It should have just been Wither, Infect, where Infect is dealing solely with poison. There is no reason to obsolete Wither. It was cool and flavorful.
Wither is not obsoleted because of Infect. There's enough slight variations between the abilities to have different rulings, that and a creature with Wither AND Infect delivers twice as many -1/-1 counters to a creature damaged by something with both abilities.

But, its not protected from the two -1/-1 counters.
I'm also giddy that green infect creatures aren't limited to Trigon Of Infestation and the tokens it produces too!
I'm going to remember you as a brilliant Magic The Gathering mind, or someone to selectively ignore in the next few months.
This was an off-the wall, nutty, yet hilarious comment. Well done.
