Not the final rules text...

More's the pity :P

Heee! You can (accidentally) put {t} in as a mana cost!

on 16 Aug 2011 by Alex:

Heh. So you can. Perhaps I ought not to allow that.

See Terastodon for a large stompy destructive elephanty thing. And Primalcrux for a lots-of-{g} cost :)

STOMP. You'd BETTER have a sneaky plan for keeping control of it. but if you do, it's probably about 10/10.

I like it. Simple, stompy, destructive yet straightforward.

Sadly similar to Lord of Extinction, but different enough in flavour that I think it's okay.

This one has trample. And the upkeep cost is also a sneaky 'gets bigger' benefit. In fact, let's make it less sneaky.

I fear this is now insufficiently iconically stompy. I want the original rules text back!

on 16 Nov 2011 by Vitenka:

Original wording was something like "The mere presence of THE ELEPHANT in your deck causes all lands to be destroyed, all creatures to flee screaming, and your eyeballs to melt"

How about power multiplied by number of elephants in play?

EVERYTHING TRAMPLES RARGH!

I think this needs to move to the rare slot.
