Armadillo Cloak - Invasion. Common
1GW: Enchant Creature
Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 and has trample.
Whenever enchanted creature deals damage, you gain that much life.
Don't laugh. It works."
-Yavimaya ranger




Auras should never be played. OH WAIT! except for this card and Rancor. 3 for +2/+2 as well as giving it trample? genius... Spirit Link? This card makes life gain look good.

The Duck's Rating:4/5

This card is broke beyond belief. Like Rancor, it should never have been printed. I need to get three of these for my G/W deck instead of those Loxodon Warhammers (which are still very good.) You can also put this on your opponent's creature, rendering it practically useless if you don't have a Fetters handy.

4.5/5

And it's a common, not a rare. O_O

 

[Shadow Trainer]

A good aura. Pump, trample and spirit link for just three mana, very nice. 3/5

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

3 for 2/2 + Spirit Link. What more can you ask for? 4/5

oh man.. my bad >.>

we can all agree it should be rare along with rancor

Well, it's so old it's pretty hard to get anyway. I think.

G/W? Beware Selesnya fans owners of Armadillo Cloak everywhere...

Well, it's so old it's pretty hard to get anyway. I think.

I was able to obtain Primal Rage, Albino Troll, and Mirri, Cat Warrior (2 of each) in a card shop and theyre in older sets then invasion...

I doubt obtaining armadillo cloak isnt that hard, especially since its in a precon deck as well.

It depends on area, country and other stuff of the like. My area, the minute I turned up as a beginner with an Urza's Saga starter deck(albeit in horrible condition), everyone practically jumped on me. Ask Ski for the details.

Indeed... Gragh.
Hmm... I have to ask MH whether he has one, but never mind.
The precon deck from Invasion, I think I can source one out with fifty bucks in hand. If I had Selesnya I would get it.
