Once again, lazy design on a Swiss army creature.
And in green no less.

This was supposedly a top-down design, which is kind of impressive to begin with.

vigilance and haste on a mono-green card

death touch on a 4/4

four paragraphs of text

this is a very strange feeling card

Vigilance is a very green ability and it is kinda a border between secondary and tertiary in haste so not sure why that’s interesting. I’m more confused why stopping damage prevention is in green, that’s like the opposite of green.

Though I love this as a design. Just take the Questing Beast in all its dangerous glory and make it a legendary beast. They even kept the name exactly like the myths which like it’s so generic I can see why it wouldn’t run any problems but I’m still surprised.

Where was this stated to be top-down? I immediately pegged it as the obligatory play-design mythic of the set.

I probably jumped the gun a little as I had only seen part 2 of this tweet, it seems like it's a bit of a mix.

Play Design Story (1/2)
We like to add safeguards to Standard so that players have options in case a particular strategy is strong. We wanted to give green something for TurboFog and something strong against Planeswalkers (something that green is inherently weak to).

Quote:

2/2) Questing Beast is a Top-Down beast that's many animals in one which is why it has a ton of abilities. We decided to put those abilities in the previous tweet on one card. Flavor!

Huh, interesting.

I'm curious what TurboFog deck they were concerned about, since Nexus of Fate is rotating out. They even put anti damage-prevention tech on that red adventure giant.
