This creature gets
more comments than almost any other when we're
lucky enough to have one in our case. You
definitely have to work a constructed deck around
him that's made to get him (and other fatties)
into play, because there is almost no way you're
going to hold someone off until you see 15 Swamps
(if you do, then this guy probably wouldn't make a
difference anyhow.) So now, let's say you are
creative enough to find a way to get both halves
into your hand - we're assuming you're playing a
casual game here - (Eladamri's
Call or something) and then get it into play (Timmy,
Power Gamer). You've got a 99/99 beats
machine, and you didn't even have to play swamps
to do it =).

I'm kind of split on
this review. On one| hand, you have a 99/99. On
the other
hand, most
traditional reanimation | strategies
won't work, as this is 2
cards. If you can
get this guy out and | swing, it's game,
otherwise, don't bother.

This thing is crazy
ridiculous. It has a ton of rules problems that
go with it. This card always seems to trade and
sell well, but those are truly the only good
points going for it. It's popular among casual
players, but I can't ever recall seeing it
played in my store.

I know, I know,
everyone loves the Big Furry Monster. Everyone but
me. To me its just silly, and not in a good way.
It’s silly in a way that says “Hi, I am useless,
and a blatant poke at Timmy.” While I admire
Wizards for printing such a thing, I hated to
stare at one half of a B.F.M. in a pack and not be
able to play it.

B.F.M. Big Furry
Monster One of the most chased after cards to
come out of the set Unglued and it’s a rare to
boot. He big and mean and cant be blocked by less
than three guys. Hmm but you can play him in any
format other than casual. Well that’s enough of a
drawback to compensate for the fact that he has a
99 power and toughness. Still he does have on of
the coolest pictures in the game and I would have
a set of BFM just to put it in a binder as a cool
thing to have. It harkens back to a day when Magic
was just pure no pressure fun times.

Unglued. This card was supposed to
be a 100/100, but R&D decided they didn’t want to
go into a third digit. I think that 99/99 is
actually better, but regardless, no one really
cares ‘cause it’s from Unglued.
Anyway, in Constructed, it’s the
Biggest, Baddest, Nastiest, Scariest Creature
you’ll ever see, which doesn’t say that much
because you’ll never get the mana to cast this.
It’s also not legal in an any constructed format.
In Casual, it’s definitely the
Biggest, Baddest, Nastiest, Scariest Creature
you’ll ever see, which is good thing.
In Limited, who cares?
Constructed: play this with
Wrath of Hasbro too.
