mtg card value app Creator Launch Day! CardStream iOS app:

Pair it with something that removes -1/-1 counters or adds +1/+1 counters when it comes into play and a free sacrifice outlet like Ashnod's Altar and this creature goes infinite in so many ways

With this costing less and being value rather than a closer when compared to Purphoros you are far less precious about it and are happy to expose it to exile creature removal in order to get into combat with it

Origin of Metalbending Toph makes metal really flexible and Origin of Metalbending puts a +1/+1 counter on your board, because you know green decks love those counters

Its a perfect 2/2 bear for 2, who has ward accompanying vigilance, reach, and trample

I love this card for any green-splashed Standard decks, and it has a ton of value in lots of other Constructed formats
