Rhonas the Indomitable
In a correctly-built deck, Rhonas should pretty
much always be able to attack or block - it
seems like creatures with four power are getting
cheaper by the week, and of course his ability
can easily make one on demand. Even when he's
not active himself, he's a good card to have
around to interact with things like Triumph of
Ferocity and Greater Good.
On a different note, I believe there was not an
actual Egyptian god with the head of a cobra,
which would make Rhonas something all Magic's
own rather than coming from the source material.
He seems like something you could actually see
carved on the wall of a pyramid, though, and it
fits very well with Egyptian mythology's
interest in snakes.

Rhonas the Indomitable (6/13)
3 mana for a 5/5 deathtouch is really cheap,
though Rhonas isn't motivated to attack unless
you have a big creature. Good thing you're in
green, right? It's not too much to put Rhonas
down on turn 3 and a suitable creature on turn
4...or pump a smaller creature up enough to turn
Rhonas on. Pump and trample makes Rhonas
threatening even if he never slithers into the
fray, and it's not too hard to get a board state
in green where Rhonas pushes your team to
victory.
