Tarmagoofy

[Mattao19]

Is the new Goofy  {Tarmogoyf} about to eat a voice in the card art? Or am I seeing things?

[Kaleo42]

is the set up for a magic meme ending in...

THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE HIGHLANDER!

[imthelolrus]

Nah, just eating a hole through my wallet 😭

[Bozo_Law]

Lol it is eating a stag but not a spectral stag like what {Voice of Resurgence} is.

[EvACiDe]

Isn't voice an elemental, not a spirit? Lol

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

Would someone like to explain why {Tarmygoyf} is so good?

[Bozo_Law]

I guess yiou are right... it looks spectral though. :/

Most of the time it will be a 3/4 at the very least, with potential to be even bigger. I would actually say in formats like Modern and Legacy, ~60% of the time it is a 4/5.

Cuz it can just wreck. It has the potential to be like a turn 3, 2 drop that is like a 3/4 or 4/5. It is super good. And if u give him some sort of evasion on him, he is just retarded.

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

But $139? There are other cards that could be turn 2 and bigger like {Boneyard Wurm} and even a 3/4 or a 4/5 isn't too hard to deal with.

[imthelolrus]

I know it doesn't sound all that impressive on paper, I certainly thought it was overhyped. But then I played with it and it makes sense now. It's hard to deal with and if you don't it's game over.

It honestly loons to me {Consuming Abberation} is better. It'll probably be a LOT bigger, and will constantly grow because of it's 2nd ability.

.....................no. Aberration costs 5 mana. That's three more than goyf. Someone drops a goyf while you go for aberration, you'll lose every time.

[Mlerner12]

Well, goyf attacks T3. Then T4. Then, T5, you'll have Abberation out, and it should by that time be able to kill Goyf. Like this:
T1: Tome Scour (5)
T2: Glimpse the Unthinkable {15 in)
T3: Mind Funeral (Probavky a good 35 in at least so far).
T4: Mind Funeral 2, then Tome Scour again. They've Probavky got a good 50 in? Might be a game.
T5: Abberation, which will KILL Goyf. And Goyf probably hasn't done lethal damage yet, it'll probably be like a 6/7. Not lethal damage. You can then produce to kill them easily.

I am not saying Goyf is bad, I'm saying it's overrated. Certainly mythic worthy. I just think Abberation is better. Also, the above fame, your opponent might have already died. 😉

[Silent1236]

That's assuming goyf is alone. Your opponent will probably be playing bant or (more likely) naya/Jund.  Then goyf has a whole entourage of things to help him. And milling is very good FOR goyf. Mill a bunch by T3?  Cool, goyf is probably a 5/6, swing for 10, {Path to Exile} the aberration, swing for 5 more, {Lightning Bolt} x2 ftw.

I just don't really see aberration as that much of a powerhouse. Too slow.
