As a 7/6 with trample, Vorinclex is no pushover and will most of the time win any fight he is involved in.

Vorinclex, known as the Voice of Hunger, is the green-aligned Praetor from Magic: The Gathering's New Phyrexia. The leader of The Vicious Swarm, Vorinclex believes the best way to go about making everything submit to the glory of Phyrexia is simple natural selection: eating things.
Perhaps ironically, Vorinclex is not actually the power in his faction; he was originally a glorified bodyguard for Glissa Sunseeker, the real brains of the Swarm. The other Praetors, unaware of Glissa's machinations and probably thinking she was not fuckhueg enough, put the Tangle under Vorinclex's control. Glissa actually likes it this way, as she believes Vorinclex's predatory instincts are superior to her functioning brain. And people wonder why Elesh Norn is winning Phyrexia's civil war.

As a 7/6 with trample, Vorinclex is no pushover and will most of the time win any fight he is involved in. His casting cost is rather high at 6GG (for a total of 8 manas) but since Green is the best color for ramping, he isn't that hard to get out in a dedicated deck. Speaking of ramping, that monstrous predator is so hungry for mana that not only does he doubles the mana from your land but he also prevents your opponent's lands from untapping during their next turn if they tap said lands to cast stuff, which can be a real pain the butt. While he didn't do much in competitive magic, Vorinclex is a nightmare (fitting for a Phyrexian praetor) in casual games, especially multiplayer ones where one of your opponent will often have to hard-lock some of their ressources for an entire turn to get rid of it, and if you get to untap with him it's not hard to go completly crazy thanks to all the free mana he will give you.
