About Cudgel Troll

Cudgel Troll, Creature — troll, designed by Jesper Ejsing first released in Jul, 2009 in the set Magic 2010 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.12.

A deck that focuses on midrange or control strategies in Magic: the Gathering would benefit from using Cudgel Troll, as it provides a resilient threat that can regenerate and stay on the battlefield longer. While Cudgel Troll offers decent value for its cost, there are better options available such as Thrun, the Last Troll or Troll Ascetic, which provide additional benefits like hexproof or regeneration without requiring mana activation. Whether Cudgel Troll should see play ultimately depends on the specific deck's strategy and the current metagame.

Rules

08/15/10

Activating Cudgel Troll’s ability causes a “regeneration shield” to be created for it. The next time Cudgel Troll would be destroyed that turn, the regeneration shield is used up instead. This works only if Cudgel Troll is dealt lethal damage, dealt damage from a source with deathtouch, or affected by a spell or ability that says to “destroy” it. Other effects that cause Cudgel Troll to be put into the graveyard (such as reducing its toughness to 0 or sacrificing it) don’t destroy it, so regeneration won’t save it. If it hasn’t been used, the regeneration shield goes away as the turn ends.

08/15/10

If Cudgel Troll is dealt lethal damage and is dealt damage by a source with deathtouch during the same combat damage step, a single regeneration shield will save it.
