[New Card] Loam Lion

[honestabe]

A white Kird ape.

I know this guy will see t2 play, but will it ever find its way into extended decks?  I personally play extended, am an a fan of zoo, and honestly don't know what to cut for him.  Perhaps lists would just do -2 kird ape +2 Loam Lion???

Basically, will he make that big of an impact in extended?

I don't think it will. Kird Ape is not an auto-include in Zoo decks anymore, since Wild Nactal is around. Plus, adding it in could open you up to more Enginereed Explosive issues.

Yes it will see some play in Bant decks but not Zoo. They are 2 different variants. But I do not think it will have much impact in Legacy. I actually think that after a few weeks of playtesting him, people will stop and most likely drop him or cut some copies.
