Mirrodin Besieged Spoilers Part 5 [Green]

Green's turn and such i hope to find some decently colored cards like the last set, there were quite a few good bombshells from this particular color in the last set including a legendary elven warrior and even some good metalcrafters, let's see what green brings to the table for this edition of the spoilers

#77) Blightwidow - Another infecter for a heavy cost of 4 mana it also has reach and is a 2/4 decent as it may be it's probably a last pick material for limited and nothing else since infect has Cystbearer and even Putrefax.

#78) Creeping Corrosion - Another sweeper spell but for green, it's not like green needs these bomb rares since green is getting nicely taken care of to start with this particular card, this is wrath of god for artifacts in a nutshell.

#79) Fangren Marauder - A 5/5 that gives life when artifacts are sent to the graveyard, this is new, i like it, solid card though it's mana cost is a bit high but it's great for limited and provides that last few points of necessary damage in the end.

#80) Glissa's Courier - The counterpart to Koth's courier in a sense and this one is decent to say the least, mountainwalk on a 2/3, do i sense a mirrored thing going on here or what

#81) Green Sun's Zenith - Oh my god this is genesis wave for green creatures, it brings out things like primeval titan, gaea's revenge, even vengevine for literally the same cost if it is not in your hand, i can see this being used for decks like Pyromancer's Ascension or something of that nature.

#82) Lead the Stampede - Green is more then likely the best colour of the set, this fetches creatures from the top 5 cards of your library and it's a uncommon at that with sorcery speed for 3 mana, did i mention this was only 3 mana to cast, wow this is good indeed.

#83) Melira's Keepers - Our first green card to talk about and wow it's a nice one, 4/4 for a 5 drop that cannot have counters placed on it at all, so it remains as is a 4/4 that withstands infect, mirran's answer to the phyrexian plague it would seem, a solid limited bomb against infect decks.

#84) Mirran Mettle - A simple pump spell, for 1 mana that works off metalcraft, though i don't seen green going into much metalcraft in this format, since green's been infect most of the time.

#85) Phyrexian Hydra - Wow hydra's don't get much bigger or better, 7/7 for a infecter and it costs 5 mana to bring out, though it dies in like two turns, it's good for clearing paths, wish it had trample then it would be perfect.

#86) Pistus Strike - Well at least it's a removal spell for infect, nuff said it costs 3 mana and it deals with those pesky flyers, pretty good for a infect deck.

#87) Plaguemaw Beast - 4/3 body on a 5 drop that has proliferate if you sacrifice a creature and tap it, dies to bolt, anything that dies to bolt straight off sucks.

#88) Praetor's Council - Wowzers it's a mythic rare that isn't a creature for a change when you play this you get a unlimited hand size for the rest of the game and all your graveyard cards go back to your hand seriously just mind boggling, i've fallen in love with this one folks.

#89) Quilled Slagwurm - Another non ability body for a 7 drop that's a 8/8 when it hits, it can easily par with Gaea's Revenge and the Titans easily, though it seems like it's just a regular old beatstick but we've got better beatsticks.

#90) Rot Wolf - Decent infecter that nets cards when it deals damage, love the fact it's a 2/2 and not a 2/1 or a 1/2 for a 3 drop and a common it's sure to be a first pick in any draft format for infect players and the fact it also doesn't die right away is a plus.

#91) Tangle Mantis - A 3/4 body with trample for 4 mana, it's good enough without ruining the moment.

#92) Thrun, the Last Troll - I knew it, i knew he was going to be in this set, as a Mythic Rare and a 4/4 wow i was way off in speculation, but still something that cannot be countered and targeted by spells, and regenerates seriously a bad ass card if i must say so.

#93) Unnatural Predation - A pump spell for cheap, Giant growth is more effective then this but at least it gives trample to it's target.

#94) Viridian Corrupter - Wow a new bloody useful artifact destruction spell, for 3 and is a 2/2 when it drops onto the board, well this sure makes things better also did i mention this has infect.

#95) Viridian Emissary - Ok civic wayfinder, move over there's a new sheriff in town and his name is Viridian Emissary and he's a 2/1 for 2 mana, also a standard common, let's see this set's mana fixer check, a 2/1 body for 2 check do i sense a theme here.

Green is finally finished, 19 cards of interest in this format and believe me it's been a long time coming, next the longest form of card in this set, the artifacts and Multicolor cards and lands
