^^^Right.. nothing says BE AGGRESSIVE like smashing trees. If your opponent is running a saproling deck, Game Over.

ill just say that dropping a 2/2 GRIZZLY BEAR for 1G has got to be considered a great deal. you guys up there are talkin about dropping a kavu and crap but honestly would you rather have that lame kavu hiding behind the trunk of a tree or a GIANT GRIZZLY BEAR roarin at your opponent and SMASHIN A TREE IN HALF?? really people...i can't believe the depravity that's befallen the internet at this dark hour in magic history. to the nay-sayers who don't appreciate the true value of this card: take your miserable pessimism somewhere else, far away from the greatness of these bears. they are undeserving of such treatment. grizzly bears FTW!

Nothing inspires more fear in your opponent than a big 'ol grizzly bear so dont try sayin that some stupid kavu thats bad is better, cus it just isnt.

Definitely THE card for mono green. This is simply fact. No card says "I'm running a mono-green fatties deck" like this classic creature. Thank you Wizards for printing a card this amazing.

Indisputably the best card ever

try woodland changeling. same cost and it fills in a lot o creature type requirements or like the above said kavu predator

Kavu predator: Same mana, trample, and the potential to get huge.

or at wild mongrel, river boa, etc... Grees creatures are generally much better or their casting costs than those of other colors (except white).

well if you think that a 1G casting cost is so great, you should look into pouncing jaguar, or skyshroud ridgeback, or any number of comparable or better cards for only G

I know that this seems a little high for a 2/2 no special, but lits look at afew other 2 mana creatures first:goblin raider 2/2 for 2 mana, but can't block second:Morgue Thrull 2/2 for 2 mana, but puts the top 3 cards into your graveyard third:Rabid Rats 1/1 for 2 mana, it taps to give target blocking creature-1/-1 so I think that next time you look at a this card then come pair it to other cards for the same cost
