This would generally be worse than reach, but not when you're using it against something with Forestwalk. Thoughts?

It seems a good idea. I wonder, green doesn't really need this because it has reach and we should probably play reach up a bit when there's a big flying/non-flying division. OTOH, stopping attacking creatures by getting into combat with them (or fighting them) is obviously a green way of stopping them, so it fits better in green than any other color.

You could also make similar cards that cared about fungus (by blocking fungus creatures, or letting any fungus creature have the "G, T: block" ability) if we wanted. But it seems a good card ot have in the set.

I actually thought about having this in red, since red, as of yet, lacks some special blocking. I wasn't sure it made sense, though.

Makes sense in red to me - it's kinda like a tank taunting a boss; "Come and hit me!" Makes sense in Warriors, etc

I seem to recall a wizards article saying red always had a minor anti-flying theme, just overshadowed by green and by red's general "anti all creatures, especially non-flying ones" attitude.

So... this creature can block two creatures per turn? That doesn't really bother me. But, in my mind, that makes this much better than Giant Spider... just not for the turn it comes out.

P/T are just random at this point. I figured I might as well put them on a familiar body. That's not what they have to stay at, though.
Anyway, with all of green's reach, could we pop this ability into red?

I think this is fine in green - we don't need to massively overdo the reach in green; or in white; or possibly in red.

By "all of," I just meant to say that Green is generally the color that gets reach. Not that it should have a ton in this set.
