    This guy makes that card we talked about a few pages back "Target creature becomes a 0/4 until end of turn and loses all abilities" not only viable Green removal, but also pump for your own creatures.
    In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers.

    Doran is awesome - interesting, good design.

    I was very sceptical in the beginning, but it seems that Lorwyn turns out to be a good set with a horrible art style (and probably the gayest Swamp art ever - taste the rainbow:
    )

    I think worth pointing out he allows Birds to fly in for one. That is sweet.

    Also, forbiding watchtower becomes a 5/5 man land with him around. Sort of cool. He makes Boros Swift Blade a lot better (4 colors FTL...) Lanowar Elite becomes a 3/3 for . Pendlehaven become better.

    IMO, you should just play Doran as a three-mana 5/5 that turns your BoPs into attackers. His ability isn't so broken that you should make your deck suck if you fail to find him, resolve him, and keep him in play.

    That would be the best Idea. I think that some cards on the fence could be pushed over. Lanowar Elite is the only one I can think of at the moment. He has the problem of being wretched against goblins. Doran has the advantage of wrecking piledriver.

    Add to the list with BoP, Tarmogoyf. +1/+0 for the win...

    Edit: ALSO! Sir Mix-A-Lot would be a more appropriate nickname.

    I like big butts and I can not lie
    You other brothers can't deny
    That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist
    And a round thing in your face
    You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough
    'Cause you notice that butt was stuffed
    Deep in the jeans she's wearing
    I'm hooked and I can't stop staring
    Oh baby, I wanna get wit'cha
    And take your picture
    My homeboys tried to warn me
    But with that butt you got makes me feel so horny
    Ooh, Rump-o'-smooth-skin
    You say you wanna get in my Benz?
    Well, use me, use me
    'Cause you ain't that average groupy
    I've seen them dancin'
    The hell with romancin'
    She's sweat, wet,
    Got it goin' like a turbo 'Vette
    I'm tired of magazines
    Sayin' flat butts are the thing
    Take the average black man and ask him that
    She gotta pack much back
    So, fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
    Has your girlfriend got the butt? (Hell yeah!)
    Tell 'em to shake it! (Shake it!) Shake it! (Shake it!)
    Shake that healthy butt!
    Baby got back!

    As far as the name goes, R&D named him Gnarles Barkley, not me.

    I agree though, building with him in mind is good. Building around him is bad.

    Forbidding Watchtower is hot, though.

    Re: [Card Discussion] Lorwyn Previews!

    A new card obviously very strong :

    Treefolk Harbinger %G
    Creature – Treefolk Shaman
    When Treefolk Harbinger comes into play, search your library for a Treefolk or Forest card and reveal it, then shuffle your library and put it on top of your library.
    0/3

    Very very strong with Doran...

    Why Gnarles Barkley ? Because of the haircut ?

    Because it sounds decidedly treefolk-ish?
    Trees have gnarls. They also have bark.

    So Gnarles Barkley will be sick with this then:

    Solidarity
    Instant
    Creatures you control get +0/+5 until end of turn.
    Team Fat Man & Little Boy

    I like how the treeflolk is another card that makes Tarmogoyf better.

    What's the term for a plural group of Unicorns? Y'know, like a murder of crows. Well that's what's on it's way.
    ******s?
    While this is close it's still wrong. Every one knows it's an orgy of unicorns.
    Team Unicorn is too hetero for me.

    Maybe this set should be called 'Tarmogoyf"?

    Sweet Bowser on a tricycle, is Doran awesome. It's like this set was designed for GWB Survival. There's also that Shriekmaw card everyone's forgotten about. I don't think there's a possible way to fit all these awesome cards in 60 any more. Chrome Mox seems pretty appealing, for getting Gaddock out on the first turn against those stupid combo decks, and it also has nice interactions with Gaddock and Doran, alleviating their Legendary drawback while making many colors.
    SummenSaugen: well, I use Chaos Orb, Animate Artifact, and Dance of Many to make the table we're playing on my chaos orb token
    SummenSaugen: then I flip it over and crush my opponent

    Everyone has said everything there is to say about the actual card... but what about the art. Call me gay, but I think a lot of the artwork I've seen for this set has been really good. I really like Doran the most so far, I think Mark Zug is one of the better current artists doing cards.
    Si, I like cereal.

    People are upset by the art. Mostly because there isn't a lot of "Random mage swirling lightning and light" stuff. I like it. It seems to get back to the roots (No pun intended) of the game's artwork a lot more.
