A mainstay in go-wide tribal strategies like Elves or Goblins, this card can bolster your army to nigh-incomprehensible size, effectively squaring the power of a team of 1/1 creatures. Out of all of the cards that immediately pump your entire team, Coat of Arms is the classic. These players might turn to a long list of alternatives, such as these:
It is part of a select few cards, like Torment of Hailfire or the Thassa's Oracle / Demonic Consultation combo, that essentially says "you win!" Many players dislike the playstyle of just having a button to press that achieves the win, instead preferring a more dynamic method of achieving a victory (or maybe they just can't afford the $40 price tag). When you do, it'll often take out several of your foes, and whoever is left behind has a severely diminished army as you trample over all of their creatures.īut the Hoof may hold a bit too much power, as it's become quite infamous in the community. With it in your hand and just seven 1/1 creatures on board, you can get a minimum of 76 power on the battlefield, which you may distribute among your opponents as you please. There are very few creatures with the raw power that Craterhoof Behemoth holds (which is especially impressive, as it's hard to grip things when you don't have thumbs). So in this week's article, we're going to be analyzing and providing some alternatives for one of green's most popular win conditions, Craterhoof Behemoth ! (I would like to thank Matt Morgan for the "Bore Score and seven years ago" pun, and I would also like to thank Jason Alt for hopefully not firing me for including said pun.) While this series has drifted away from that specificity as the core idea, that doesn't mean I can't still give some of the popular win conditions the boot! With this original idea in mind, I wanted to specifically target the format's most common win conditions, as I felt that a card gets a lot older a lot quicker when it's the last thing you see every game. The idea behind it was that the most ubiquitous cards in EDH would have a high "Bore Score" signifying general player distaste for them due to their style of gameplay and/or mass diffusion into the meta and consistent saturation in the format (in the words of Jason Alt on the EDHRECast Twitch Stream, "Oh boy, you're running Smothering Tithe ?"). When this series was first surmised, I intended it to showcase a sort of scale, to complement the existing Salt Score scale on EDHREC.
