Any more updates? I'm looking to build a Ravnica cube and am looking for ideas for what cards to have in and what not to from both the ravnica blocks and from the upcoming Dragon's Maze Stuff. All the guild champions?
On turn 1, Bloodhall Ooze is a 1/1. On turn 2, it's still a 1/1. On turn 3, it's still a 1/1 because they killed your Deathrite Shaman. So maybe, by turn four it's a 2/2 or a 3/3. This card is going in the Bloodbraid Elf slot. Is such a pathetic card really the right replacement for that card? I think not. It's a passing fancy that will be replaced the moment an actual good card gets discovered.
If your argument is that deathrite can be killed on turn 2 or 3, so can any other decent creature out there. Rendering your argument irrelevant
Yeah, I didn't think Huntmaster of the Fells would be a good replacement. With a blue deck rising to the top (WUR Midrange) and a deck full of sweepers gaining ascendancy (Tron), it's no surprise that a hexproof regenerator that can't be countered like Thrun, the Last Troll is becoming the go-to 4 drop atm.
Thrun would also be balanced out with Falkenrath Aristocrat. As Aristocrat can escape by sacrificing another creature which would otherwise be board-wiped
When you name is Thrun, the last troll people must believe that. He's now $10 on SCG. I know it's half that on TCG but sometimes it doesn't take long for the price to rise.
what is causing this price increase?
Now that Bloodbraid elf has been given the banhammer, Thrun is one of those new stand in 4 drops along with Olivia Voldareon and Huntmaster of the Fells.

Uh.....where did you find this? Cos the cheapest shocks that I can pick up are at about $10-ish barring winning bids on shocklands on ebay
If I recall properly (tell me if I'm wrong) Tarmogoyf and Bob are used in almost the same amount of deck types right?
