So Garruk, Primal Hunter is no joke. Yes, he isn’t as flexible and fast as the original Garruk or me in bed, but beggars can’t be choosers who say, “Hey, I love you but I think I want to make you feel like crap, point out all the bad things about you and tell you how and when you’re going to fix them.” But yeah, this isn’t that kind of article. New Garruk still stays true to green with his abilities for one more green mana. In my honest opinion, he allows for better board with his first and final ability. If you really wanted to, for example, you can crank out a beast every turn without losing him, unless your opponent destroys him or goes all out to kill him. The last ability is also very relevant considering you’re going to be playing green (most likely, but if not, you should get some kind of trophy for pulling that off right….RIGHT?!?!?!?!) and you’ll probably have some kind of ramp going on, hence, lots of wurms….8====D ^1000. Also, the synergy with other cards makes him very relevant. His role as a token generator makes cards like Polymorph, Mass Polymorph, Doubling Season, Eldrazi Monument, and Akroma’s Memorial his posse.
The second ability is my favorite personally (see now you know what to get your favorite admin for his birthday). Because it’s something we don’t see very often in green: card draw. And it’s not just your everyday bland card draw like Harmonize (not saying this is a bad card AT ALL), but rather one that says to the color green, “You like playing fatties? Well let me reward you with--”
“SEX?!?!?!?!” asks the color green.
“Um, what? No, no not now.”
Rather, the bigger the fatty, the bigger the card draw. Imagine having a Kozilek on the board with Primal Hunter. That’s just wrong guys. Just wrong.
