Didn't know how to file this.... anyways, this popped into my head yesterday while I was trying to decide on whether or not to put Torchling in my Ruhan of the Fomori [link] or Jaya Ballard, Task Mage [link] EDH decks.
Ah. Well, I don't have a Morphling, and neither of the decks can use Thornling. Besides, I like versatile cards, and this one can force cards to block it, allowing Ruhan to sneak by and get in a hit.
Yup. A huge theme of that deck is methods of evasion to let my big attackers slip by, and Torchling just happens to be an excellent non-white critter to enable that.
... Of course, neither Ruhan or Jaya Ballard have anything on my other EDH decks.
