The problem with such cards is:
The eldrazi thing is most likely just a block thing (and not even the full block), and will after that not appear again (at least not for a long time). Which means again that the more sets come out after this, the crappier this card gets automatically. Like "splice on arcane" for example. That mechanic is completly useless now since there havent been arcane spells since Kamigawa block.
Also, it's mythic! Seriously, if you rip open a booster and open a mythic, do you want to find a card that right now makes absolutely no sense? T_T

Magic is planning onto something..hmm..its like when they released Nocturnus, it was a mythical rare.At first there was no concept of a vampire deck yet then they unveil it in zendikar.

Two of these in the box I bought. Why, god, have you forsaken me?
Seriously, though, this was either a throwaway plot card, or will be at least decent when RoE comes out.

Even if it is going to be good, why buy a playset? If you've got four in your eldrazi deck, sure you are shaving 2 colorless off the cost of every spell, but then again, you've got 3 unplayable cards in there too. No I really don't see this getting much better.

On Ghostfire it says "Only those gifted with the eye of Ugin, the spirit dragon, can see his fiery breath" I sense many colorless cards in the future, all having to do with the eldrazi.

I personally like Eye of Ugin--flavor wise, it's almost like that scene at the end of the credits that says, in big bold letters... OR IS IT? While, currently, it's perhaps not the most useful card, it hints at future story lines, and makes me very excited for Rise of the Eldrazi. In literary terms, it, as well as Eldrazi Monument, foreshadows whatever the Eldrazi are--and I'm certain that they're going to be interesting. Potentially non-artifact colorless creatures? Lovecraftian monstrosities? They sound fascinating. Maybe it's not the best card to get in a booster pack when you're trying to find good rares or mythic rares for a deck, but when you think of the storyline of the set doesn't it make you just a little excited? I know it does for me.

I did 2HG in the prerelease, Me and my partner both pulled this card. then my partner pulled another in our prize packs...we could've used any other mythic.

they must be planning something for this, honestly like a mythic rare and its also legendary, they must have something up their sleeve for this card, and im also bummed as i pulled it in a pre-release draft and i was extremely bummed at such a waste of a mythic title and legendary.

Does it work with artifact creatures? Fetching artifact creatures for 7 might be lot, but then it won't be *completely* worthless.
