Trygon Predator - Dissension. Uncommon
1GU: Creature - Beast
Flying
Whenver Trygon Predator deals combat damage to a player, you may destroy target artifact or enchantment that player controls.
Held aloft by metabolized magic, trygons are ravenous for sources of mystic fuel.
2/3



This is a really cool card. First of all, a 3 for a 2/3 with a decent effect is nice. Now, being able to destroy artifacts/enchantments for each swing... hello! Bye Jitte, Greater Good, etc. I'm loving it.

The Duck's Rating: 3.25/5

 

[Shadow Trainer]

A 2/3 with flying for three is great and the effect is not bad either. 3/5

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

Not bad. 3 mana for 2/3 + Flying is pretty good. Chuck in artifact/enchantment destruction, and it's as imbalanced as Nullmage Shepherd. >_< Ownage.

3.5/5.

 

[skiboydoggy]

Umm... Nothing is as imba as Nullmage short of a pair of Beacon of Tomorrows.
Anyway, 3 mana 2/3 Flying is a decently good mana -> Body, and the ability is effective to the nth degree without becoming haxed... Yeah, I like it.
Reminds me of things like Rustmouth Ogre if memory serves.

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

But Rustmouth doesn't eat enchantments.......And it doesn't have Trample, making it hard to hit the player and destroy an artifact.

 

[skiboydoggy]

Bloody REMINDS me of.
Oh, never mind.
At any rate though, it's still not as hax as Nullmage and her destruction of my nth Magemark.

 

[Runeseekermew]

eeh, predator is a good card, ill give it that much, but then again, its only good in Simic or rainbow decks, so 3.5/5

 

[Felix Feral Fezirix]

Though a Jitte in a Flying deck will have a hard time being destroyed....
