Seems like a mighty fine ability. This of course being a less-than-impressive example, but still. Could be good on an aggressive creature.

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.

i disagree, dong something from hand at instant spped feel waaaay different than doing something from the graveyard at sorcery speed

this disproves those dragon maze cards BTW. gruul doesnt have 'explore'

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.
