Earth Elemental is also a T2 play (Mountain into Orcish Lumberjack, T2 Forest, tap both, burn the forest for , play EE), and clobbers a pair of Knights/Elven Archers without trading (White and Black weenie decks were also very common).TheGildedGoose wrote: ↑2 years agoRad. T2 Erhnam is serious business. Would've liked to see Juggernaut instead of Earth Elemental to better capitalize on the Lumberjack though maybe surviving Bolt was more relevant.Sinis wrote: ↑2 years agoThis card felt so broken back in Ice Age.

Bolt (and Incinerate) were so common at my cafeteria table that I still, even 25 years later, can't see the appeal of Juggernaut|3ed over something with 4 toughness. Really, the 4/5 Stat block was something I was very fond of, and between the burn and Stormbinds in the deck, I never was worse for wear for combat math.
I think with respect to Juggernaut, I'd have even taken Nettletooth Djinn (had we not still been playing Erhnam).
