About Obstinate Baloth

Obstinate Baloth, Creature — beast, designed by Chris Rahn first released in Jul, 2010 in the set Magic 2011 and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 3 formats: Standard, Pioneer and Legacy. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 9.17.

This card would be beneficial in a midrange or control deck that focuses on gaining life and maintaining board presence. Obstinate Baloth's ability to gain life upon entering the battlefield can help stabilize against aggressive strategies, while its ability to be put onto the battlefield instead of the graveyard when discarded provides resilience against discard effects. However, there may be better options depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Thragtusk which provides more value with its enter-the-battlefield ability and leaves behind a token upon leaving the battlefield, making it a more versatile choice in many situations. Overall, Obstinate Baloth could see play in certain decks that value its specific abilities, but there are potentially better alternatives to consider.
