Talking about railway brawler? Holy crap this card is nuts and I'm putting it in every Green deck I play from now on right now I have it in Koma, new gw sigarda, and Miirym. It's stupidly good in this format and it seems like it's being ignored

Yes you are right. The card is extremely powerful. I 9lay it in all my decks too

I haven't played with Railway Brawler, and it seems good, but I'm not sure it's suited for every deck. It's a very powerful effect to add counters and double creatures power, but at 5 cmc, you probably won't be casting a creature right after railway brawler, and then it has to stick around until next turn. Maybe it's great with flash enablers? Flash it in before your turn and then go to town sounds pretty good.
I mean, I think it's a really good card, but it's much less powerful than something like Voja, Jaws of the Conclave just because Voja works with haste enablers to get the value end on the turn it comes down.
I feel like Railway Brawler could absolutely run away with games, but I feel like it could also just get hit by Swords to Plowshares just as much of the time.

Ha, I missed the plot part on railway brawler, it does seem way more flexible than I thought : ) Seems fun!

it either gets out of hand or someone has to use something to deal with it

I guess my take is
-
it's $9. People do like it
-
it's not on radar because it's just green doing green thing of getting big. It has the same energy and response of zopandrek and unnatural growth.
-
it's not anything that usually ends the game on turn it hits. Like the new voga in pioneer needs one combat to get massive damage. This needs a little more buildip. It's like a nerfed cathar crusade, but with less infinite combos (if they exist at all)

It's a $9 card, I don't think it's floating under anyone's radar. You're just more likely to run into discussions about budget bombs or unknown gems in this sites' forums.
