The best Nephilim for me, but how come a witch-chewer is not red?... w/e, this reminds me of an Arcbound Ravager, just make one of those ARB block decks with an Ancient Ziggurat and get this thing on it.
(Seriously, why not red?)

LOL...does anyone know what a nephilim is? I researched it once. I think it's like a biblical monster.
Following the pattern of the sets, they're probably going to make an enemy tricolor set again (Like Vorosh) and then eventually make a 4-color multicolor set, with cards with the same mana cost as the nephilims.

Looks like something taken out of Spirited Away. Definitely an amazing art nevertheless.
Awesome synergy with the Retrace & Rebound mechanics.

This card is loads of fun, especially when the spells you cast to trigger his ability also have Proliferate. ;D

What's so not red? Something that feeds on spellcraft alone, and can end up rivalling a Leviathan is so not red.

That looks like some kind of weird Japanese youkai...

Nephilim are the bastard offspring of angels and humans from the bible. I think magic was representing them as mirror images of what they should cost, so this is technically the "red" one. Think about how Ink-Treader Nephilim has no black in it, yet goes perfectly in black resurrection decks.

Good for EDH if your group approves of using Nephilim as Generals (I've read its done occasionally). Scary cool flavor and a strong card besides. Really good with buyback cards. Blue and Black means you get insane card draw. Card Draw is really what matters with this guy, so you can draw into extra spells. A "Spirit" deck would be nice too (see: Kamigawa), as there are lots of rewards for playing Spirit spells and he has all the best colors for spirits.
Fate Transfer works nicely in case he gets killed.
He should be Errata'd be a legend in my opinion, for both flavor and functionality as an EDH general. We need a 4 colored EDH general!
