<DIV>Here is a card that is not as bad as I thought before I played 
it:</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Questing Phelddagrif&nbsp;&nbsp; 1GWU</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Creature - Phelddagrif</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>G: Questing Phelddagrif gets +1/+1 until end of turn. Target opponent puts 
a </DIV>
<DIV>1/1 green Hippo token into play.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>W: Questing Phelddagrif gains protection from black and from red until end 
of </DIV>
<DIV>turn. Target opponent gains 2 life.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>U: Questing Phelddagrif gains flying until end of turn. Target opponent may 
</DIV>
<DIV>draw a 
card.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>4/4</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Before I played against and with this card, I thought it sucked. The draw 
</DIV>
<DIV>backs to me were like saying to your opponent "You can win the game. Go 
</DIV>
<DIV>ahead." But when I did play against it,I lost the game to a 13/13 </DIV>
<DIV>Phelddagrif. I could not believe it, Right then I wanted to try a Questing 
</DIV>
<DIV>Phelddagrif deck. Mine is&nbsp; 3 color Hippo IBC and not 5 Color Hippo 
IBC.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>When I playtested the deck, It worked. The Questing Phelddagrif won more 
</DIV>
<DIV>games then the other creatures in the deck. All you need is 6 green mana 
and </DIV>
<DIV>one blue mana, and a Questing Phelddagrif out, In your next two turns you 
can </DIV>
<DIV>win the game provided that they have no ways to stop the damage by cards 
like </DIV>
<DIV>Tangle.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Here is my IBC Hippo deck:</DIV><BR>
<DIV>Creatures:</DIV>
<DIV>4 Mystic Snake</DIV>
<DIV>4 Gaea's Skyfolk</DIV>
<DIV>3 Questing Phelddagrif</DIV>
<DIV>3 Utopia Tree</DIV>
<DIV>3 Fleetfoot Panther</DIV>
<DIV>2 Voice of All</DIV><BR>
<DIV>Spells:</DIV>
<DIV>4 Eladamri's Call</DIV>
<DIV>4 Exclude</DIV>
<DIV>3 Absorb</DIV>
<DIV>3 Armadillo Cloak</DIV>
<DIV>2 Tangle</DIV>
<DIV>2 Wax/Wane</DIV>
<DIV>1 Prohibit</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Lands:</DIV>
<DIV>6 Plains</DIV>
<DIV>5 Forest</DIV>
<DIV>4 Yavimaya Coast</DIV>
<DIV>3 Island</DIV>
<DIV>2 Elfhame Palace</DIV>
<DIV>2 Coastal Tower</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>As you see it has early beatdown with control in the from of counters. You 
</DIV>
<DIV>should be able to get the Questing Phelddagrif on the table when you want 
</DIV>
<DIV>with the Calls. Also the Calls let you get Mystic Snakes when you want, 
</DIV>
<DIV>serving as a searchable counter. and BTW thanks to Chris,who helped me fix 
</DIV>
<DIV>the deck up.</DIV>&nbsp;
<DIV>Even Type 2 decks may benefit from Questing Phelddagrif, Because with cards 
</DIV>
<DIV>like Birds of Paradise and Blastoderm,Counterspells,Disenchant and things 
</DIV>
<DIV>like that. The so called "Pro Tour Junk" Questing Phelddagrif is,by far 
</DIV>
<DIV>better then it is given credit for. Next time you hear someone say 
"Questing </DIV>
<DIV>Phelddagrif is not a good card" tell them they are wrong.</DIV><BR>
