I have a mean Jund variant with these guys in it. Wild Mongrel, Basking Rootwalla, Fiery Temper, Zombie Infestation, Taste of Mayhem, Putrid Imp, Jagged Poppet, Gathan Raiders, etc. I throw in Necropotence + Ivory Tower in casual games though it doesn't pop as quickly as my 1v1 variant, but I can gain life and stay in the fight in Multiplayer format, then amass zombie tokens for the kill.

Even without the Madness, it's still an attacking 3/3 on your second turn unless you cast a Wild Mongrel!

What does maddness mean on cards??

This card is hands down the best one drop creature in the game. but even better you can just wait till you can discard it and in an instant you've got a great creature on the board.

This card is insane. You can quickly cut down your opponent's life total and it works well in combo with other cards. Especially in Torment, with all the discarding going on, you're going to come out on top.

Overall, it's the best commen in the set, Faceless Butcher is a close second.

great with circular madness decks or anydeck with pitch creatures like wild mongrel, aquamoeda, or even a grotesque hyprid.

this card is a great combo card. its a common, that on turn two can hit for three. decent. plus combine it with wild mongrel. you pay 0 for the madness and the mongrel still gets +1/+1 and a color choice. also, try the mongrel with arrogant wurm and drop that 4/4 trample for G2.

Its easy to see why this card is making such a fuss. anything that can hit for 3 second turn should be looked at twice by anyone with open slots in a green deck. rancor him, and pump him for added mayhem. plus, just for fun he has a madness cost of 0which opens combo possiblities and may be a good sideboard against black.

great crad against a dicard deck or big creature deck..........or both

This card is amazing. You can use it with cards like sonic seizure and nostalgic dreams to pay for the discarding effect and get a creature with a decent ability and still get the effect from the card you used it with.
