Reviews

Just like I said for its black counterpart, cheap creatures are always nice to see. Attercop even doubles up as a somewhat aggressive creature for the early turns of the game. I like this a fair bit, and it should be a good way to start your in most green decks.

Attercop's vulnerability to X/1 hate is a pain sometimes, but it's still better than Wargling or Guardian of the Halls.

These will mostly come up to punish you for playing colors other than black.Good cards like Attercop, The Queen of Dale, and Long-lake Nuisance will randomly find themselves dying en masse, which of course frees up the rest of your board to die to Crude Bent Blade. Ouch!
