Nom, nom, nom the goats, then become eight zombies

Not a bad politic card either, giving an ally blockers and a way to help you draw.

creative Billy Goats reference. I'm liking the fairy tale theme so far.

"hunted" troll?

man this one looks really fun

Combos with plague engineer naming goats

Seriously, gaining 3 and a card looks good.

Flavor fail: the art has a brown goat...

Comparable to Desecration Demon, though drawing a card is a way better consolation prize than a +1/+1 counter.

The goats are brown but they value peace, law, structured, selflessness, equality.

I like that I can use the goat tokens I got from lorwyn with this guy.

Goat tokens are always a good time.

I remember people decrying Desecration Demon when it was revealed, only for it to end up being a staple in mono-black devotion. Clackbridge Troll functions somewhat similarly - on one hand, it provides its own food (instead of being shut down by Lingering Souls), and gives you a net negative when faced with immediate removal. (although the 0/1 goats are pretty low value for most opponents). On the other hand, drawing cards when your opponent pays the t(r)oll is a pretty major upside. Seems like a fun card, at the very least. Also some great art - those goats look adorable (and delicious).
