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 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.07.

A midrange or control deck that focuses on gaining life and maintaining board presence would benefit from using Obstinate Baloth, as it provides a solid body, life gain, and resilience against discard effects. While there may be better options depending on the specific deck strategy, Obstinate Baloth's ability to gain life and potentially come back from being discarded makes it a valuable inclusion in certain metagames, especially against discard-heavy strategies.

Rules

11/17/17

If a spell or ability an opponent controls causes you to discard Obstinate Baloth, and both Obstinate Baloth’s ability and another ability (such as that of an opponent’s Leyline of the Void) instruct you to put Obstinate Baloth somewhere else instead of putting it into your graveyard, you choose which one to apply.
