Awesome card. And T&T always has them for about the cheapest I've seen anywhere, so grab some if you see them in stock!

Oh, look! It's an Ophidian...but it's actually a good card! Cool! I can tell you that this is a really, *really* annoying card to play against. if your opponent gets a turn 1 birds/elves/hierarch and this turn 2, they can have a hand pretty much filled with counterspells, and all the time you're getting beaten down by a little 1/3 with deathtouch (but with moldervine cloak and/or a jitte and/or a sword of fire and ice, it's just amazing). If you can support the two green mana on the third (or second) turn, go ahead and get a playset, if you can afford it (I can't, hehe)

Best creature card made in the last 2 years. Voracious Cobra and Ophidian mixed into one easier to cast creature.

An amazing card. A win-win situation, kill a creature or draw a card. Just add Umezawa's Jitte or Slagwurm Armor for more casual fun! If you opponent blocks with his Thorn Elemental you just remove a couple of counters to give it +2/+2, kill it AND your Viper lives. And if your opponent doesn't block, remove all the counters on the Jitte for a game winner, or a game swinger anyway. Im so putting this guy in my snake deck.
