Grind Your Opponents Down with Loathsome Troll
Loathsome Troll brings a durable menace to your green deck, embodying the brutal resilience typical of the Forgotten Realms’ wilds. With a sturdy 6/2 body, it excels at trading damage and pressuring opponents’ defenses. What sets this troll apart is its unique graveyard recursion ability—by paying 3G and rolling a d20, you gain a tactical gamble that can shuffle it back to the top of your deck, return it to your hand, or even sneak it onto the battlefield tapped. This mechanic adds a layer of unpredictability and resourcefulness, rewarding players who master timing and risk.
This card shines when paired with other graveyard-centric strategies or cards that support top-deck manipulation. Loathsome Troll’s ability aligns well with cards like Altar of Bone or Scute Swarm, which thrive on recurring threats and maintaining board presence. Its medium play foil finish enhances its visual appeal while signaling a seasoned player’s collection. Perfect for those who enjoy blending raw power with tactical recursion in Adventures in the Forgotten Realms decks.
