Caller of the Claw was
barely noticed when Legions came out, hidden
behind the hoopla about Akroma, Angel of Wrath
and Phage the Unplayable... er...
Untouchable. Slowly, but surely, Caller
has risen to its rightful place among the, "Hey,
that's a really good card" stock. Surprisingly to
some, it's an Elf (though the tokens he creates
are bears). His huge advantage is that he comes
down instant speed. Infest getting your Elves
down? Fine, replace them all with 2/2 bears. Need
to stop an onslaught from your opponent's army?
Block all out and then Wham! Surprise!
It's as good in
limited as it is in constructed.

Caller of the Claw
The best card in
Legions, period. Unfortunately, this doesn't say
much, since the set is so weak. Replaces your
crew after a Wrath or Mutilate. If I played a
green deck, I'd probably have a couple at least
in the sideboard, if not main deck.
(Hint for all you
elf players out there - this guy is an elf. That
can be important for when you get your Wirewood
Herald Mutilated.)
In limited, other
than Nantuko Husk tricks, this won't do much.
Constructed: 4.25
Limited: 2.5

Caller of the Claw
just an instant speed gray ogre would be ok, but
this guy has an AMAZING
ability, no matter what the situation (when one of
your dudes dies in
combat, you get 2 2/2's for 3 mana), and he's
very important with akroma's
vengeance, starstorm, bane of the living,
mutilate, and wrath of god
floating around. plus he's an elf.
constructed 3.9

Caller of the Claw is the
great re-equalizer. In most matches the opponent
uses a mass effect to wipe your stuff from the
board and this guy comes and practically puts it
all back for you. This doesn’t even mention the
tricks you can use him for on your own. A very
strong card.
Constructed – This is where
opponents will really nail you with mass removal
effects so this is where the Caller is strongest –
4.65
Limited – Still solid for his
cost and his ability manage the creature balance –
4.55 |

> Creatures you can play as instants are always a
good surprise for your opponents. Any ability
that lets you recover from a Wrath of God (your or
your opponents) or just being on the wrong end of
the combat step is great in my book.
