He's broken and tanking fast right now

Dudecore

It's likely from reprinting, not a dip in power. Jund midrange won like 5 tournaments in a a row, and Naya won the 2 before it. {Thragtusk} is alive and well, with better mana fixing and new support.

And that's why im trading my {thragtusk}s for some much needed shocklands.

If he was broken, wouldn't that make him one of the best?

If you pay attention to standard at all you would realize  {Thragtusk} is dead the only people who play lose to every card i posted as the best cards in standard

Gorzo

Thragtusk is still a top card. I'd at least put him above silverblade paladin for sure. I saw more thragtusks in Cincinatti last weekend than any other creature. Even boros reckoner. (Granted, not by much.)

Mikefrompluto

I agree with Gorzo. Five life and two chump blockers in one card is pretty tight.

Alright, I'm gonna teach you a few things about standard.

1. Thragtusk is the MAIN (you heard me, main) reason that restoration angel is so good in standard.
2. Thragtusk is automatically better then every creature you posted up there, just based on the fact that there is so much removal/board wipes in standard. You still have board presence even after he dies! Not to mention 5 life!
3. Thragtusk is EASY to play, even in a deck with only a little bit of green. With all of the three colored decks going around, so many have easy access to the beast that is Thrag.
4. Thragtusk should honestly be a mythic, but if he were, he'd be worth as much as all of the cards you listed combined.

And in summary, if you truly think thragtusk is dead, take a trip over here to Pullman so me and all the other respectable standard players can whoop your ass with them.

I'm no standard player and I'm not saying {Thragtusk} isn't super good, but I can think of about a thousand ways to use {Restoration Angel} outside of Thraggy.  I'd honestly put the Angel over Thragtusk.

Wsuryanjeska

Restoration angel is amazing, but I don't care if you can think of a million ways to use it, still doesn't take away from my point.
