The prerelease promos have been spoiled and translated as well. The U and W ones are the coolest. The R and B ones are pretty cool too, but the G one just never does what you'd want it to.
i think the green one would surprise you. For example, it works well with {conjerer's closet}

Also, gruul was supposed to have a mechanic were it fights things when it enters the battlefield, but they dropped it because it was too powerful

And if they do pay the tribute, there's a mechanic called trample you can give it. It's playable, you just need to be prepared to work with either discussion

Edit: also, if they pay the tribute. You could always drop a {pit fight} for a garunteed removal, and then steamroll your opponent

theres a difference between the ragebeast and this. The ragebeast forces all of your creatures that enter to fight. This just makes itself fight, plus it could become huge. Which green has plenty of tools that can take advantage of its size

Whenever it deals combat damage to a player, if the tribute was paid, tap all lands you control.

There's a thing called control. "Nah, no counters for you." "Nah, Charm it."

The mana costs on all of them are insane though.

well, for one thing, you could just wait until after you played everything else you wanted in that turn and it becomes pointless that your lands get tapped or not. And even if you are saving mana for other things. {fog} for instance, green has mana dorks that an get around it. So the tribute is pointless like that
