Quote from DJK3654 »Perhaps auras, for instance, that have a spell on the back that gives a similar effect to all your creatures temporarily or that gives it only to one temporarily but for cheap or with the bonus of cantrip say.
Quote from The Lord of Tresserhorn »Now recommended by The Professor as one of the top 5 Modern cards in the set.
Quote from FlossedBeaver »I'm not convinced Myriad Construct is a good card either, but I would argue that its ability is better than hexproof (what do you have that's worth protecting on a medium-sized vanilla beater?).
Quote from wallycaine »Quote from Lectrys »Quote from sleeper agent 2.0 »Quote from Lectrys »That combat damage to player bounce own land clause blows fairly hard. Whenever I play Burn, I'm significantly more likely to lose whenever I'm stuck on one land all game. This will pressure people to not play it on Turn 1, which removes some of the point. Maybe the power of a 2/2 haste trampler on turn 1 (that doesn't draw the opponent cards, like guide sometimes does) is enough to make it worth restructuring the build of aggro decks a bit to use this most effectively. A much lower curve (mono 1-drops?) could be quite happy with it. In modern, how about this, goblin guide, and swiftspear along with all the one-mana bolts you can get? In Modern, I already basically play Guide, Swiftspear, and almost every 1-mana Bolt I can get (Shard Volley went out of fashion some time ago and can't really get along with Wayward Guide-Beast). Then Eidolon of the Great Revel wins too many games by itself to not include, and Boros Charm's 4 damage instead of 3 has actually been quite helpful. ...You can see how, at the very least, Wayward Guide-Beast gets in the way of casting these 2 cards. Say I play Wayward Guide-Beast on Turn 1, always watch this guy deal combat damage to my opponent, and play a 1-mana Bolt every turn starting on Turn 2. My opponent is on 3 life by the end of my Turn 4. That's not a way to win (e.g. against Green Tron).It's worth pointing out that if you hold your land drop until your second main phase on turn two, you get to 2 mana on turn 3, which I believe nets you a dead opponent on turn 4 in your example. It takes some finagling, but it's fairly easy to maintain 2 lands in play with this beastie, though going any higher is probably out of the question if you're hitting every turn.

Quote from Neuroticneurok »So what happens when you target this with Unleash Fury?
Quote from Ritokure »Um... okay? It's just a decently sized body that's good against spot removal and really bad against Wraths. Unless you're playing Commander, the Kicker clause might just as well be flavor text, because I suspect any scenario where you have 7 mana and would want to spend said mana on a big dumbo without evasion is the exact scenario where your opponent is sitting on a Wrath. That said, in Commander it does scales up to the nonbasics each opponent controls, so if you have a cheap Instant speed way of triggering this, this is a huge army on legs.
