To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Questing Beast. The card is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of card design, most of the keywords will go over a typical player's head. There's also Questing Beast's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterization- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The players understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these keywords, to realize that they're not just playing a good card- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Questing Beast truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the nuance in Questing Beast's existential catchphrase "Vigilance, deathtouch, haste Questing Beast can't be blocked by creatures with power 2 or less. Combat damage that would be dealt by creatures you control can't be prevented. Whenever Questing Beast deals combat damage to an opponent, it deals that much damage to target planeswalker that player controls," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Wizard's genius wit unfolds itself on their playmats. What fools... how I pity them.
