I'm not a fan of this card, but he seems to be a fan of me. Out of the 6 m11/m12 booster packs I've opened, I've gotten 3 of this guy (and 2 Time Reversals, which is also rather odd).
He's a 6/6 vigilance creature for 6, which is good if unexciting, but his come into play/attack ability is ridiculous.
Seal of Cleansing makes him able to destroy an artifact/enchantment each turn, and Hyena Umbra or Eland Umbra give him several extra lives. And these are just random cards that appeared in my hastily built white EDH deck.

Fun Fact: You can use Sun Titan to get around Hexproof!
Geist of Saint Traft getting you down? Why, just cast Sun Titan while a Dead Weight is in your graveyard, and attach it to that pesky Hexproof creature (no casting involved, no abilities involved).
This card is the bane of my existence when I play against my friend's control deck. Truly an evil, evil card.

He's not the "Least of the 5 titans."
If anything, I'd call him second best, right behind Primetime. FROST Titan is the worst, right behind Grave Titan.
Running him in monowhite? Angelic Renewal is pseudoinvulnerability (think about it) and Seal of Cleansing can hit any artifact or enchantment repeatedly. I'd run this in a deck with a lot of "dies" and sacrifice abilities on cards with cmc 3 or less. In using those types of cards, I can guarantee I'll have something I want to grab with this guy.

I really despise the Titans. They are no fun to play with or against. Just plain overpowered. But what do you expect. Zendikar block was a power level hike, so you had to expect everything to follow suit.
I only got back into magic a few months back after dropping out during Ravnica (for reasons other then boredom with the game.....what a set to leave on) and was shocked to see people calling Dark Ascension a steaming pile of crap (which I've quickly gotten back up to speed and those were all foolish short-sighted comments). The Titan cycle is the main reason. I'm just glad most of the community wants to see them go.
With the versatility of Magic, there is really no reason to blatantly raise the power level like they did with the Titans. "Mythic" Rares should not by default be "Broken" Rares.

Stupid Sun Titan. If it weren't for him, the titan cycle would correspond alphabetically to the color wheel (Frost Grave Inferno Primeval).
Or we could just crown Blue the new top of the wheel, where we know it was meant to belong. :p

Yessiree, a 6/6 for 3, that gives you 3 back every time it attacks. After one turn, its free!
*facepalm* stuipid titans, stuipid power creep. I almost will miss Wurmcoil Engine.

@The_Earth_dragon
Strange you should make that argument on the one titan that is the most fun to play with and watch. The only titan that is incredibly above the curve is Primeval Titan, because of his ability to grab any two land, an ability surely worth 6 mana by itself, which often leads to the game being won immediately afterwards. For the others, you get a 3ish cmc spell thrown on for whenever your fatty comes into play or attacks. Quite powerful, but not "No fun to play with or against." Have you ever slapped a Basilisk collar on an Inferno Titan and laughed like a madman while you smash them in the face for a bajillion lifelink and gatling down his creatures? No? Have you recurred your Lightning Greaves with Sunny here, smashed for six, and ripped a Tectonic Edge out to smash into your opponent's Cabal Coffers?
Sure, Sun Titan and Primeval Titan, and to a lesser extent, Grave... (see all)

In the new block you can combine this with Divine Reckoning then swing to really put your opponent in trouble, hopefully.
