Random Generator gave me Wasteland Viper and Riptide Mangler. Hole-filling, I could use a green rare, so I pulled them together into this. I figure that by the time the Mangler player can exile a crazy 12-power creature and swing, you've had enough time to respond to this creature. Maybe I'm wrong. This reminds me of Vitenka's question of "At what cost is deattouch for players printable?"

Discard...exile? Surely this isn't supposed to be a no-op in the absence of an effect like Rest in Peace.

Oops. While typing out the ability, it changed from discard to exile, when I realized it would be easier to keep track of the Mangler's power that way. Fixed, and thank you.

Nifty!

I'm unsure about it being a 0/3 for though. I might rather see 0/2 for or 0/3 for (more closely matching the Mangler).

Really? I figured rare status was good enough for a 0/3 with deathtouch. To be honest... I kind of don't know. it's a weird p/t for rare, to be sure.

Oh, I don't think it's actually overpowered at for 0/3 (Wall of Wood); it's just a jolly effective wall very early. I'd enjoy playing a constructed deck with 4 of these to function as early defence, removal in conjunction with pump spells of some kind, and finishers all in one card. It's a fun card... which actually sways me the other way to say, yeah, you know, let's leave this at the more efficient size to make it more playable.
