Against creatureless or creature-light
decks, you can get two of these babies out on turn 2 and be all
set to deal them 6 damage a turn from then on. That's tough to handle.
Of course, if you draw this on turn 8, and your opponent already
has three creatures in play of their own, you're not likely to be
too happy to see it. Creature decks led by McGonagall are all the
rage right now, and this creature should be given consideration
in any light variant, that tries to avoid cards that cost more than
6 lessons to play. If you have a deck that has some cards that go
above that level, then you should skip the Sandstone Gargoyle in
favor of some other critters that can reliably cause more than one
damage a turn.

1 damage a turn is ok...but, if your
opponent has no lessons, 3 damage a turn! And, with Hagrid, we get
a rock solid (literally) ammount of damage. And, with the cost of
3CoMC, it IS possible to get out for the extra damage. The 2 health
makes it vulnerable against Doxy/Toe Biter/Fumos/Vermillious/Stream
of Flames/Bewitched Snowball.

A 3 power creature that can get out
in turn 3 and do 1 or 3 damage respectfully is very cool! I like
that there is a new breed of creatures that make non-creature decks
fear them even more. I am a fan of all decks, but this kind of threat
makes non-creature decks have to play anti-creature spell cards
or they will lose quickly. So all you spell deck players…beware!

I know what you're thinking sandstone,
not very strong, through some water on it and it'll disappear, ah
but do not be fooled by this little creature. If fast damage is
what you want then this guy might be able to get it for you. Yeah
he's only gives you 1 damage point, but you get him in early at
3F, and your opponent has no creatures, then you could be doing
3 damage a turn. Add another one, and bat, and for 4 power, you're
doing 8 creature damage a turn, keep your opponents creatures off
the board, and before you know it, your opponent is going to be
looking at his deck wondering where all his cards went. Now a toe
bitter could stop the gargoyle in its tracks or a creature play
by your opponent might reduce him back to one damage, but if you
could get 3 damage a turn from him for 3 turns, why not do it, I
think it would be most beneficial in gaining the early edge.

This guy ROCKS! Not just because
he "is" a rock, but because he gets meaner when left unattended.
;') You can play him turn 2 and it could possibly be doing 3 damage
a turn. It'd be like a Baby Dragon that you don't have to discard
for. =) Then if you get RHagrid out, he'd get the extra boost too!
This probably goes best in an anti-creatures deck so you can get
rid of their Creatures so yours do more damage. =) I really don't
see a bad side to this card at all. Doesn't do as much damage in
late game when your opponent might have creatures, but you should
be able to find a way to rid your opposing creatures if you play
this guy anyways. It's common, so 4 of these should be easy to find.

I like the Gargoyles. At three power,
he hits the board early and if you can limit the other player's
creatures, it's a double owwie in that they are strugglin to do
you damage and takin three a turn from this bad boy. They aren't
likely to worry about him right away either especcially if they
are playing creatures. And if you are playing other creatures, they
are likely to focus on those instead. All in all, a pretty good
deal for three power.
