This card+ a hero's resolve= a 10 damage dealer for a total of only 5 mana. Or throw hero's resolve on a little 1/1 weenie of yours and he become a 6 damage dealer.

Doran makes any extended deck question their 1/2, 2/3 or 4/5 creatures. Deckbuilding does have to at least question the Doran factor.

great card. Animate wall is a 7/7 wall for 3 mana and is great. But a 7/7 for a grand total of 4 is unheard of. only thing is you would need to splash blue along with white black and green but for most decent multi color decks it shouldnt be a problem. also gotta love nerfing a nova elemental. oh you have a 10/2. wait nvm you only have a 2/2. makes big early threats useless due to a normally low toughness but high power. blistering firecat is another nerfed by his ability. your 7/1 trample just became a 1/1 trample. there are dozens of ways to use this card effectively. just think of all the white cards that pump up toughness. well now they are pumping power also. amazing card.

I think this card is great just get this out and play glacial wall for 3 mana a 7/7 is great for three mana only drawback is its a wall

Turn 1: Birds of paradise from murmuring bosk. Turn 2: Virtually any land, Doran. Common plays in standard for a while. Although blind sighted by faeries, don't forget how powerful a turn 2 5/5 can be. Still a force to be reckoned with, even in extended. Fear the tree.

wow...it's a 3 mana 5/5...that makes your opponents' 2/1's do...1! In a treefolk deck (I guess in any deck..) If you start out with a Forest or something Forest-like, a Swamp or something Swamp-like, and a Plains or something Plains-like (Caves of Koilos) and a Treefolk Harbinger, pus some other good stuff, then play a first turn Harbinger, fetch another one. Next turn, draw the 2nd, play a swamp/plains and the Harbinger, get another one, 3rd turn: draw the 3rd one, play it to fetch one last Harbinger, play a Plains...4th Turn: Draw the last harbinger play it and get a Doran. On your fifth turn you have 4 3/3's in effect and a 5/5! Better yet if you play Timber Protector, somewhere in there...you've pretty much won especially if you play TWO Timber Protectors and Wrath of God...xD

This card is amazing with Llanowar Augur. She is a 0/3 for one mana and if you sac her she gives a target creature +3/+3 and trample. But I mean a 3/3 for one mana... Well you need doran too lol :]

This card i think is i think is under rated by a grip.. its basically a 5/5 for 3 and makes cards like tarmogoyf stronger and makes cards like ohran viper a 1/3 a 3/3 deathtoch , draw card if it hits ya... hence why this card was in worlds.... defenitely a playable card

This is as close to a 5/5 as you're going to get. And it works well with the other treefolk with high toughness but low power (*cough* most of them *cough*). It make treefolk harbinger A LOT better.
