Nessian Boar
Creature - Boar
All creatures able to block Nessian Boar do so.

Whenever Nessian Boar becomes blocked by a creature, that creature's controller draws a card.
Renata led the best hunters in all of Theros on a quest to bring down the terror of the Setessan wilds.
10/6

Oh hey, it's a new take on the "quest monster" trope that they did with Grothama.

This doesn't feel great as a pseudo board-wipe, because it's slow and replaces every creature killed with card draw. I'm sure there are some shenanigans you could do, though, with getting 10 power for 5 mana. This is also just great if you can make it so it doesn't get blocked.

I think of it more like Sleep. None of your creatures can block my other creatures this turn and you have 1 turn to play some more blockers before they attack again.

I was about to say "All damage happens at once so who cares if they draw ten cards if you alpha strike for game" but they draw on block not damage or dying or anything so yeah...Will probably do work in limited but I don't see it in standard.

This is really good if your opponents have no creatures
