The Gitrog Monster, thoughts and idea's.

@Leoj may be good in a life from the loam dredge deck. On the slower side but more resilient.

Name the deck: Dogs and frogs.

Let's ask ourselves this:

Why would you ever want to Oath this card up when cards like Griselbrand, Tidespout Tyrant, or Rune-Scarred Demon exist? These cards all have effects that are/can be activated immediately that have a much potentially game-ending effect than this.
Why would you ever want to Dread Return this card in Dredge? When you cast Dread Return, I should just be dead. period. this card is only slightly better than Squire to Dread Return.
Is there really ever a reason to play this when you can play Spirit Monger?

Now, it may be playable in Legacy Lands as a 5 Casting Cost finisher, but overall, I'd be shocked if this card is playable.

The reason you can consider Oath is that it is also castable without Oath in a pinch (just like how Salvagers was used in an Oath shell). However, at that point we have Salvagers. You'll have to consider why the ability to hardcast this would be good while keeping the option to Oath.

@Soly this guy may fit right into a bug land still deck as a finisher. Wastelands, crucibles, life from the loam. Might be good in the Grindy control style.

Dayton

@Gumgod this sounds awesome lol!

Nobody's doubting the power of those cards in oath. But this is actually reasonably castable and gives a lot of value. Not saying it's better than other options, but it's still a sweet card.

@Lodestone I'm not convinced that it's a good finisher. I'd rather just play things with Flash in a Landstill Shell. Vendilion Clique and Snapcaster.

You don't need a big flashy guy to get cast. If it was BUG Landstill, I'd rather have Prophit of Cruphix since he at least untaps my lands (attack with manlands and still be able to cast counters etc) and it is pitchable to Force of Will.

@Lodestone that's a good point about some kind of BUG control/landstill type deck. After all, this is the same format where Rich Shay is casting Dragonlords and OGW Chandra.

And I'm too slow, as usual. But whatever. RIBBIT.

Dayton

I'm not saying this is the end all be all new tech @Soly but I think it could be worth exploring as it is a new style of creature that could enter vintage.

@Lodestone I'm all for being proven wrong, but I have very low expectations for this card.

10drills

They said the same about Chandra.

Sorry to bother you, but you do know the quote in your signature is actually wrong, right?

Dayton

@minniehajj thanks, fixed it, tired and at work stil...

This card is the bees knees in UBg Landstill. It is absolutely insane when paired with Crucible of Worlds or Life from the Loam. Easily being Drain'ed into is another plus. This card definitely affects match ups in a significant way.

It doesn't get bounced by Thing In The Ice.

bschl

This card has so much flavor that even Emeril wouldn't salt it, but i don't think its a vintage playable. The contraption seems hard to assemble, and the upside isn't high enough.

@SeanOhh One person playing the card to moderate success does not make a card "playable".

I once won a Mox with Fathom Seers back when Gush was restricted.
I once top8ed a Vintage Championship with Accumulated Knowledge.

@Soly several people have put up results with Chandra beyond Sean. Recently at the BMI three different Moon decks t8'd all featuring her. The card is real.
