Pygmy Hippo

Old vs. Modern Saboteur

Any interest in bringing back those triggers on older cards like Pygmy Hippo? The ones where you have to give up the combat damage if you want the effect.

Old school saboteur (give up you combat damage for the effect) simply doesn’t play as well as modern saboteur (get the effect and the damage). The former slows down games, both in lessening damage and forcing extra decisions.

Hippo People Discussion

FYI, Magic has done Hippos before, with both Bull Hippo and Pygmy Hippo. Additionally, Hippo tokens can be created by both Phelddagrif and Questing Phelddagrif.

The recent conversation on Blogatog has been about Hippo people, the Hippopulace, if you will.
