Since then, weve gotten several expansions that have introduced strong cards like Arceus ex, Dakrai ex, and Sudowoodo (if you can believe that)
Not only do you get absurd cost reductionespecially considering how big green creatures are these days (look at the 4-mana 6/5 with upside in Colossal Rattlewurm)but also a potent finisher effect with the attack trigger
If you already have enough stuff to get you to five mana then Thragtusk is a good final nail in the coffin in the role of life gainer while also rarely being a dead spell in any match up
Instead of looking at the expensive side of Magic , I want to look at those who do yeomans work for your decks
During your next turn, you may play that card
We also have a very aggressive deck as the default deck of the format, one that you dont want to actively lose life against, which isnt the best sign for Ruin Raider
