Shouldn't something dubbed "Rhox Fists" supply the Rhox effect?
Something like "If target creature is blocked, you may have it assign combat damage this turn as though it weren't." (Instead of the trample clause.) It'd be one of those educational cards that teaches players to cast their instants at the last moment.
Not necessarily, these days. Rhoxes have been around for a while now - consider Rhox War Monk - and not many of them have had the original Rhox effect.
You know, I never realized Rhox wasn't the first creature with that ability. But clearly Lone Wolf came first.
Nonetheless, the Alara Rhoxes should be ashamed of themselves. It's an ability that would've made a good deal of sense with Exalted.
The wolf was the first to use the ability, but it's the Thorn Elemental that wins the "iconic use of the ability" honors. People tend to remember the 7/7 rare before the 2/2 uncommon.
At any rate, my goal was a modest P/T booster that WA particularly good in heavy aggro decks. I'm totally okay with it as is.
No, I must amend that last comment. I am not okay with it as it was, and have edited it accordingly.
