Seems like a mighty fine ability. This of course being a less-than-impressive example, but still. Could be good on an aggressive creature.
Standard hobos who play budget garbage should be looked upon with suspicion.

I see this as a three mana uncounterable pump spell.

I like that this could potentially be a finisher or a combat trick. Seems good in limited. Prelease card?

I doubt this will see any serious constructed play, but the mechanic might if it is tacked onto a better creature.

since it isnt a keyword it could be rather variable. like insteadof just pumping it could give all abilities of the given creature, i believe we will have to wait to see what they do with it

3/3 trample (mirror to the mauler) for RG with blood rush perhaps? That'd be enough to cut it possibly.

I feel like the ability is too similar to Scavenge.

thanks baguy!

also, from maro:
Bloodrush essentially allows you to discard a creature to give your creature +X/+Y until end of turn where X is the discarded creature’s power and Y is its toughness. Note that this is all me paraphrasing and is not rules tight.

yeah a RG watchwolf with upside could see play
maybe a card in dragonmaze will have this and scavenge, that'd be cool.

Lazy name
Generic "spiky Swanland" art
Mediocre design

It's basically a conditional Might of Oaks attached to an evasionless creature.

i know! if you go to pump a creature with its ability and they use a removal in response, you've just been 2 for 1'd!

Better to not even play creatures.
