I think this card became better with Mimic Vat. Think about it, you evoke this for a 4/4 which isn't great, but then every turn you get a 7/7 chubby rusher and a permanent 4/4! Not bad if you ask me. oh and it's a staggering 3 mana investment. Not bad for green Mimic Vat.

Evoke it, then Cloudshift it.

If you can get Worldfire resolved with this on the field, you win pretty easily. Then again, there are much cheaper ways to win with that much mana. Still might be nice in multiplayer.

interesting, sort of like two different creatures in one, and when you play the bigger one it has a shrinking penumbra effect.

Costs to much considering you can get similiar effects from other creatures that cost around 5 or 6 instead of 8 cmc.

The first time i saw someone use a blink to get around the evoke sacrifice, I thought it seemed a little fishy, but i let it pass. If you review the rules, specifically 702.72a, it's very clear that the sacrifice is PART of the casting cost, not a triggered effect. Failure to sacrifice the creature makes the evoke fizzle and the creature goes to the graveyard. It doesn't matter if the creature leaves the battlefield, it still must be sacrificed to fulfill the evoke cost. Any judge that misses this obviously hasn't read the rules closely enough.

I'm gonna try running this in my peasant cube as a reanimator target. Puts itself in the graveyard and gets some value out of it.
