Artist: Andrea Piparo

Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• High Power/Toughness: A 4/4 body with trample for 4 mana is an excellent rate, particularly in aggressive strategies.

• Trample: Allows it to deal with chump blockers efficiently, making it a better attacker.

• Conditional Blocking: Its inability to block unless you control a Goblin or Orc can be a significant downside in some matchups.

Deck Utility:

• Aggro: This creature is aimed at aggressive strategies that are more concerned with attacking than blocking.

• Tribal Synergy: Works best in decks that include Goblins or Orcs to ensure it can also function as a blocker when needed.

Olog-hai Crusher comes with a powerful body for its mana cost, making it a threat that can't be ignored. However, its blocking condition requires specific board states to fully utilize its defensive capabilities. Suited primarily for aggressive decks, it can also find a home in tribal Goblin or Orc decks where its downside is easily mitigated.
