I hope this doesn't result in my finding out we played wrong, but I did find Tog made a satisfying zombie once I beat him down and raised him from the dead using Rise Again :)

I was surprised I could, as it says non Epic, which seems to allow legendary resurrections correct...?

Correct, you can re-animate legendary creatures if they aren't epic.

Except that reason applies to ALL non-epic creatures not just Togorah

Also, since Togorath is Slow, he would start out Stunned when Raised.  (In case you missed that.)  He also couldn't regenerate, and takes six damage, so he likely wouldn't last all that long.  There are much better creatures to Raise.

He is, all around, just a bad card.

I watched a game today where he took out the Wizards Tower all the while Intercepting its attack. He was not able to counter attack, but each round that full attack of his and then back on Guard was quite eye opening to watch.

Togorah is not slow.

Sadly, I have not been able to find a use for him either.

Who uses plants and trees? Druid.

Both the druid and the treebonded vinetree are both extremely durable. The druid simply does not need the protection from Togorath.

Perhaps a future more fragile druid can use this creature.

Gah!  Teaches me not to type when I'm already halfway in bed thinking "sweet, sweet sleep..." ; )

It seems to me that Togorah is intended to be a creature that gains his mage tempo if he is cast as a reaction to something else. He doesn't have the tools to carry a game himself, but he can blunt a powerful offense while doing enough damage to take out whatever is threatening you. Bring him out after the opponent has committed to some big offense, not before, and he'll earn his keep.

Gain tempo spending 21 mana it´s loose time, with 21 mana you can cast in one turn 2 great creatures plant and one incantation to put you sure as teleport.

Some of comparisons in this thread don't even make any sense.  You play Togorah for his abilities.  If you don't need his traits, you don't play him.  Does that mean he's situational? Yes.  Does that mean he's bad? No.   ::)

The discussion is over whether or not Togorah is worth spending 6 spellpoint to put into your book when it's highly situational at best, and there are other things you could put in instead that solve the same problems Togorah does except for less spellpoints and mana (and they likely also solve other problems as well).

I know what the discussion is over, thank you.

Every Necro should have a [mwcard=MW1E08]Death Link[/mwcard]ed [mwcard=DNC18]Togorah, Forest Sentinel[/mwcard] standing in the middle of the [mwcard=DNJ04]Graveyard[/mwcard].
It's simply a matter of style.

Never played with him, but I think Togo is a cool design.  8)
It's a tragedy Druid can't Treebond him.
