It seems like Wizards is just going to keep pushing the envelope on creatures until they finally make one that is as broken as the Power 9. Not that this card is anywhere near on that level, but Wizards trying to get there is the only way I can explain something like this. Seriously, a colorless 6/6 for six mana? A few short years ago that would've meant it would've had to have some nasty drawbacks, but these days they just heap piles of gravy onto it and make it mythic so people open a thousand packs to get these and the other overpowered mythics.
Powercreep has officially turned into powergallop. I really hope we get the next Masques/Kamigawa to bring things back down to earth soon.

I would have enjoyed it if it were a bit more interesting and underwhleming. make it a 5/5 that makes a 2/3 lifelink and a 3/2 deathtouch. That woulda been cool. I think the only reason it gets away with being a 6/6 for 6 with more than 6 mana worth of abilities IS that it's mythic rare, which never sat well for me. But I'm biased because Wurms are cool.

I don't understand WotC, why do they make these overpowered cards that crap on the entire game?
Cost 6, 6/6, lifelink, deathtouch, and turns into two tokens when it dies?

It should have trample...and first strike, flying, vigilance, and hexproof. It should cost less to play, and Kaja Foglio should have done the art, but despite the downfalls, it's an ok card... I guess.

My favorite play from FNM was blocking this with a phantasmal bear, trading and then whiplash trapping the 2 tokens. My opponent was mad.... HEHE

i suppose i don't understand why people say something is broken or unbalanced and -then- go on to say they must have one. then again, it's clearly to these people that mythics are catering. personally, if i see a card that is obviously overpowered i don't use it--i prefer to keep a modic-um of dignity when i lay down cards. i don't need to cast a 6 mana card and know the only reason i've won is because of power creep or dare i say, the size of my wallet.
/say no to power creep
/rant over.. but for how long?

6 of any mana for a 6/6 is great. 6cc for a 6/6 deathtoucher...awesome. 6cc for a 6/6 lifelinker...sign me up. 6cc for 3 creatures with a combined 12/12...i want one. Combine them all? Broken...i need one!
