2. In addition to being a pretty crazy card, the transparency on the card frame is pretty sweet.

  3. Yeah, really epic art. And, if I am reading this right, he comes with card advantage built in, since you get +4 cards just for casting him (not for him entering the battlefield). So basically he is a colorless tidings (for 4 more, admittedly), with the upside of being a 12/12, Annihilator 4, if he does not meet removal/counterspell.

    Of course the “cast” clause also makes him slightly wore as a reanimator target.

  4. Sadly he’s not even a Reanimator target as he will never see any amount of time in a graveyard… :(

  5. Please also note that:

    1- It isn’t an artifact creature. So no Tinker mumbo jumbo in Classic.

    2- It shuffles the whole graveyard and not just itself to the library. Bye bye mill decks!

  6. AND please also note that:

    3- It’s collector number is 6. Meaning that this is an all colorless set.

  8. I don’t believe this will be an all-colorless set. More likely it is a partially colorless set with an Eldrazi vs. everything else feel to it. Sort of like Kamigawa block with Spirits vs. nonSpirits.

    Beyond that, I think we’ve found a use for Mana ramping via mono-green with Omnath and friends…. at least in Standard.

    Also even without the draw 4, it’s a really nice target for Sneak Attack like effects. Sac 4 permanents, then block a 12/12, yeah, that’s fair.

  12. Someone let Tron get dusty. Good grief, how do you expect to hardcast this card without doing silly things with mana ramps.
