Hey guys. So they finally released it. Ilharg, the Raze-Boar. The Boar God of the Shamans of the Old Ways of the Gruul. And it really is a fine card with one big exeption:
I am seriously super pissed about it being Mono-Red. For me, this is a crime against flavor! I just dont get it. Is the only reason, to give the players in War Of The Spark a mono coloured god circle? Who on earth needs/wants a full mono god circle? They could've at least give it green identity somehow, with some kind of ability or such. For example: ...when attacks, you may pay G, if you do.... yadayada... And to balance this, smack haste on it.
My Vorthos Gruul heart is sad, really really sad and i am using this thread to whine about it.

If they added to the mana cost, I think that would be for the best. Would balance it out and also make it Gruul.

They should have kept the mono-R mana cost, but added a G activated or triggered ability to keep the Gruul God in Gruul.

Not sure if it's much consolation, but Mark Rosewater did address a question about this to someone, and his reply was ask me again in two weeks. So expect to hear a reasoning about this and other card design choices soon.
