CommanderVolt Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 So this guy was the MVP in my little match against Raeg while I was helping him learn the game Discuss Arbor Colossus and where it sees use in todays game (if at all) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonk Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 I know that Green is known as the Mana Ramp color, but that effect looks expensive to pull off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Origins Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 Mana cost is not that expensive. Five mana on turn two or turn three is very, very easy in Modern for Green. Not sure about Standard. As for the card itself, I wouldn't personally run it (ever), instead opting for the infinitely better Craterhoof, but I guess it may have its uses in the side. 9/9 is NOTHING to scoff at.

(GigaDrillBreaker) Posted December 5, 2014 Report Share Posted December 5, 2014 This is a beautifully costed, highly efficient creature in standard. The triple green in mana cost makes nykthos even better, and landing this turn 5 blocks and kills your opponent's turn 6 stormbreath dragon. As for the card itself, I wouldn't personally run it (ever), instead opting for the infinitely better Craterhoof, but I guess it may have its uses in the side. 9/9 is NOTHING to scoff at. Craterhoof behemoth is genuinely bad outside of combo decks, and does nothing for a midrange strategy unlike this, which, in my opinion, is only bested by the likes of Thragtusk.

Miror B Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 I know that Green is known as the Mana Ramp color, but that effect looks expensive to pull off.without ramp its turn 5 for a 6/6, then turn 6 for a +3/+3 and flying destruction at instant speed. Always worth the cost, even if you never use the monstrosity ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Green devotion in Standard loves this card to bits. Tanky, hits hard, anti-air, has the triple-symbol to milk Nykthos, and can get even bigger. My Jeskai deck loathes to see this card appear due to the incredible difficulty in taking this card out once it has resolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poc Posted December 6, 2014 Report Share Posted December 6, 2014 Guy swats flyers out of the air all day and completely brick walls tempo decks. He can come out on turn 3 in Green devotion decks too. Thankfully the people at my LGS haven't figured out how good this guy is so I can continue to bop them with my 5/5 thopter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
