Obviously better in multiplayer, but less obviously sneakily likely to succeed even with high numbers. And quite a good 'hail mary' throw.

Hm. Like Six-y Beast, but benefits choosing low rather than high. So the value of X doesn't really matter, as most people will choose 0, 1 or 2.

Ooh... that is cute. There will be times when this card when you where X will be your opponent's life total, but that probably makes the card more charming.

Huh. That is nice. Yes, your opponent will usually choose 0 or a low number, but sometimes they'll be desperate to stop you guessing right and pick >=2, and you'll have to try to double-bluff.

Since there's a disadvantage, this can probably be X+1/X+1 or have trample or something?

Well, the value of X does matter, because a big X makes it bigger, and gives you a bigger range to choose from (and you can bid high if you've got more life than them to force them out)

And yeah, I guess you're right - green is probably allowed something better than a hydra, native, isn't it? Powering it up now.

adding trample and haste

Remind me not to tick off guys with monocles and top hats. Those guys totally flip out.

If they're sentient trees, there might be a bit of a hint there too.

Indeedy, you have to be tough to harvest from apple tree folk :)
