I wish this was pushed more.
I don't even know if I'd play a vanilla 6/6 for 4.
My thoughts exactly.
This would have been really interesting if it were bigger or had some additional ability.

Worst flavour text ever. Either that or best ironic flavour text ever? I like it otherwise.
Whiny weenie and observant aren't the same thing pablo, somehow I thought you'd understand.

Tangle Mantis pretty much has the former in the bag for the foreseeable future. Though personally I love the flavor text, I mean, aside from the ORZHOV LAND FUN BUCKS aspect I mentioned above, it does kind of perfectly microcose the Orzhov philosophy.

Everything is better when you read it in Bane's voice.
Your human antics and desire to continue living have moved me. Just kidding. You cannot move me physically or emotionally. Wall humor.
Copy effects work like a photocopy machine: you get a copy of the 'naked' card, NOT of what's on it.
Funny story: InQuest Magazine (I think it was InQuest) had an oversized Chaos Orb which I totally rooked someone into allowing into a (non-sanctioned) game. I had a proxy card that was a Mountain with "Chaos Orb" written on it. When I played it, my opponent cried foul:
Him: "WTF? a Proxy? no-one said anything about Proxies. Do you even own an actual Chaos Orb?" Me: "Yes, but I thought it would be better to use a Proxy." Him: "No way. If you're going to put a Chaos Orb in your deck you have to use your actual Chaos Orb." Me: "*Sigh*. Okay."
I pulled out this huge Chaos Orb and placed it on the table. He tried to cry foul again but everyone else said he insisted I use my actual Chaos Orb and that was my actual Chaos Orb. I used it, flipped it and wiped most of his board.
Unsurprisingly, that only worked once and only because everyone present thought it was hilarious.

no, see i can kill defenders, but 8 consecutive crits on a battlemind, eh walk it off.
Hi guys! So, I'm a sort of returning player to Magic. I say sort of because as a child I had two main TCG's I liked. Yu-Gi-Oh, and Pokemon. Some of my friends branched off in to Magic, and I bought two pre-made decks just to kind of fit in. Like I said, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon were what I really knew how to play. I have a extensive knowledge of deck building in those two TCG's. However, as far as Magic is concerned, I only ever used those two pre made decks. I know how the game is played, and I know general things, but now I want to get in the game for real. I want to begin playing it as a regular. My question is, are all cards ever released from the time of the inception of this game until present day fair game in a deck? Or are there special rules? Are some cards forbidden or restricted? Thanks guys, and I will gladly accept ANY help lol. 
I have the same problem with women.
Is this my new ego sig? Yes it is, other Barry

And that's why you should never, ever call RP Jesus on being a troll, because then everyone else playing along gets outed, too, and the thread goes back to being boring.
See, this is why RPJesus should be in charge of the storyline. The novel line would never have been cancelled if he had been running the show. Specifically the Slobad and Geth's Head talkshow he just described.
Not only was that an obligatory joke, it was an on-topic post that still managed to be off-topic due to thread derailment. RP Jesus does it again folks.
I think I'm gonna' start praying to Jesus... That's right, RPJesus, I'm gonna' be praying to you, right now.
O' Jesus
Please continue to make my time here on the forums fun and cause me to chuckle.
Amen.
It was wonderful. Us Johnnies had a field day. That Timmy with the Grizzly bears would actually have to think about swinging into your Mogg Fanatic , giving you time to set up your silly combo . Nowadays it's all DERPSWING! with thier blue jeans and their MP3 players and their EM EM OH AR PEE JEES and their "Dewmocracy" and their children's card games and their Jersey Shores and their Tattooed Tenaged Vampire Hunters from Beverly Hills 
Seriously, that was amazing. I laughed my *ss off. Made my day, and I just woke up.

TM uses reverse italicization. That makes it awesome. It is true that this text encapsulates the Orzhovian Way - but it is totally unfinished. Like someone started it, and then just didn't finish. It needs some sort of credit. Like - Orzhov Monetary Policy No. XXXVI or something. As is, it looks like actual rules text. Which, thinking about it, is kinda cool. I guess I would love to see this:
Really Tall Mushroom  Creature - Fungus Reach
"This creature can block creatures with flying." - Observant Fellow
1/1
Whiny weenie and observant aren't the same thing pablo, somehow I thought you'd understand.

Nah, that one's just amusing. Plus "Everybody came" is a fairly accurate description of Keldons during a war .
Tangle Mantis just feels like somebody trying to formulate a descriptive sentence for the first time, or somebody who's learning English as a second language and whose speech still contains traces of their native tongues syntax. That sentence structure is akin to "The cutest animals ever don't hang out with cats. They are cats." and I'm pretty sure nobody talks like that (At least not when speaking English, I'm not going to purport to be an authority on every language in the world).

I noticed some people talking about lifegain hate. I STRONGLY doubt that will happen. It kinda...Messes with your own extort. And i can't recall ever seeing a one-sided lifegain punisher. Maybe "Whenever an opponent gains life, you gain that much life." although if this were to be used AGAINST Orzhov, extort would deal no damage...
P1. "Ha! You lose 2 life, and i gain 2" P2. "Ok, then i gain 2 life as well." P1 ."Wat."

Design wise, I love this card. Love it to bits. I'll play it too.
But I only play limited.

There are a few, like Kavu Predator and Punishing Fire . And of course you have red off-switch spells like Stigma Lasher .
