About Rakeclaw Gargantuan

Rakeclaw Gargantuan, Creature — beast, designed by Jesper Ejsing first released in Oct, 2008 in the set Shards of Alara and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.03.

A deck that focuses on big creatures with power 5 or greater, such as a Naya midrange or ramp deck, would benefit from including Rakeclaw Gargantuan in its lineup. While the ability to grant first strike to a creature with power 5 or greater can be useful in combat situations, there are potentially better cards available in the Magic: the Gathering card pool that offer more versatile or impactful abilities for a similar mana cost. Whether Rakeclaw Gargantuan should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck it is being considered for.

Rules

10/01/08

The ability checks the targeted creature’s power twice: when the creature becomes the target, and when the ability resolves. Once the ability resolves, it will continue to apply to the affected creature no matter what its power may become later in the turn.
