Riorvard designed Gatherer of Companions. I printed it. I regret nothing.

6/7 for 0 mana? That's totally fair.

It is a little strange that it has convoke, but has well above the curve stats and also additional upside. Then again FleeceMane Lion is a thing, so it's not too crazy.

The fact that if you convoke it, it gives you enough material to convoke a second one, and then a third... pretty crazy.

Nah, it really is. The thing is busted. I threw it into NM2 on the grounds that it would be fun to play with for a month or two, then eventually get banned or nerfed.

the tokens are only green so they can't convoke gatherer by themselves.

One time against rush I played Advance Forces + 2x Spawn + Sheepfold/Dance. Dance grabbed Gatherer. Played two gatherer into Oaken Dignitary.

I didn't actually win the next turn tho.
