In that card's defense, they did that four years ago:
Well that certainly weakens my point!

Well that certainly weakens my point!
I actually really like this guy, but my players don't know what Food tokens are...
Life gain support AND payoff, with a real cost. I like that he isn't evasive, making it harder to utilize his own lifelink to crank out Demons.
I though this was the strangest grave hate I'd ever seen, but it only works on your own creatures. Still, solid body and cool effect. Shame green 5s are so competitive, it's neat.
Another support plus payoff for life.dec, but green 6s can do a lot better than a massive ramper, even at pretty low power.
Life gain payoff with a notably decent body. Not much downside here if you're trying to enable that sort of thing.
Hogaain? Looks pretty cool to me.
I've been looking at tokens and life gain lately. I likely have Labyrinth Raptor in the list and have sac themes, as well. Potentially checks a lot of boxes.
5/5 for 5 on its own. Pumps the team. Triggers life gain. Will have to see how it compares to my green 5s, but this does a lot.
Flexible way to flood the board. Could be too annoying, if anything. Something like blow up 3 things, make 6 blockers, eventually gain 6 life is a huge road block.
This could be a sweet bomb. Almost surely is if you can afford the life, but I am skeptical that an extra 1-2 mana and 6 life may be a bit much vs my usual 4-5 mana single reanimators and I wasn't big on Ever After.
Sigil of the Empty Throne-style of do-nothing. Looks likely to be too slow, but maybe the lower upfront cost works.
Seems like too conditional of a wrath. A lot of life gain is going to be generated by the controller's creatures, anyways.
This reads like it's cool, but it likely isn't accelerating much. You already have 5+ mana in play. You could wait one more turn to cast an Ultimatum and skip the 3/5 flyer for 5.
Pulse of Murasa, though...
I feel like there has been a lot of that going around these last few years.
I'd imagine it's better because the worst case scenario is better than those, a 5/5 trampler for 5. The average to best case scenario is on par with those two, a huge attack. It does lose out on the immediacy that Overrun (or 11 mana Kamahl) offers.
It feels like the beast fits into more decks, as it's somewhat generically strong without any support, but bolsters the life gain and go wide strategies as well. The latter two feel like I'd only take them in a go wide type of deck.
Looking at your list, because I know that I'm unfamiliar with your power level, it's probably on par with Ant Queen if I had to speculate. Nice, beefy body with an effect that can become problematic if left alone. Could definitely be something you're interested in, but I'd keep an eye on it.
All that said, despite being a "5/5," it does die to red spells.

In 2021 this would have been a 6/6
and you wouldn't have to pay for the ability...
Wait, maybe a 6/6 would be too big...
That one has ‘Partner’ though
In 2002 it would have been a 3/3
And in 2001 it would have been red, be a 4/1 and tap to Shock target creature or player
wow finished strong. lorehold and witherbloom got the best expansions. I like Yedora as a vile redeemer
Having a better worst case is totally fine with me, as a 5/5 trample for 5 is not exactly a great card, even though it's far from ebarassing in my environment.
I just have a feeling that this might be a larger removal check than Ant Queen. If the opponent can untap with at queen, at worst they will get four or five 1/1 insects out of the deal. But with this guy, they might just straight up win after untapping once. Even with three other creatures, which have 1 power, the bogbeast adds 11 trampling power to the board.
If you guys don't mind, I'd like to turn this thread into a fight club for a moment. How would you all say these two cards compare with each other?
VS.
Onderzeeboot
Ecstatic Orb
These two are only alike in casting cost. Blossoming Beast is closer to Overrun... with buybackHow would you all say these two cards compare with each other?
.I don't feel these are comparable other than being Green Baneslayers with useful abilities. Ant Queen is better in token-based or defense-oriented strategies where hiding behind an army of ants is a reasonable course of action. Meanwhile, the Bogbeast looks to be better in decks that are focused primarily on attacking, especially if they have cards that can gain life.If you guys don't mind, I'd like to turn this thread into a fight club for a moment.

I think these cards will play well together, but they don't fill the same role, and they are at their best in different strategies.
Yeah, they're pretty different, it was just the closest power level comparison I could get. Boggers definitely outshines Spore Mound, for example. Both of them feel a bit removal checky, with Boggers probably being the worse offender because the threat is usually more immediate. Boggers could also be seriously problematic if you Pulse of Murasa, or something, on turn 6 and then swing for a billion.
Does anyone know the difference between a (example) 'foil' Demonic Tutor from Mystical Archive and an 'etched foil' one?
There is a huge difference in price where the foil is more expensive than the etched foil. Links for example below.

Wow wow wow...
I know I'm super late to the party, but when I first saw Fracture I saw it in the original spoiled version, which was in French and I immediately rushed in here to spoil it for you guys. But the picture I uploaded, I took from www.mythicspoiler.com which had the Italian version and not the French version. As a Danish speaking person with English as my second language, I didn't notice this change.
Now the story gets good
This resolved in me going like this upon spoiling
But only today I saw that the card wasn't printed like the original French version I first saw.
Imagine my surprise when I realized Fracture couldn't kill creatures
