Might as well be called the best mill card in the game basically.

I love how this guy sums up all the praetors strong points in a fun way " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb3dedoVht0&feature=channel_video_title "

So, uh... I like to fish him out with Riptide Shapeshifter. Does that make me a bad person?

i'm very mixed about this guy; his third ability is absolutely amazing, but i don't find his first two to be of much use, and his cmc is hilariously high.
my idealized version of this card is:
8 cmc
same third ability
2/6 p/t
you can get him out a a little earlier, and the higher toughness means he stays around longer
still pretty good
4/5

I have to agree with 'feels alright', I'm not saying at all that he is a poor card. Personally I feel like Flash is kinda, not his style? (Its a process of BAM HERE I AM!) but a good ability, having to draw 7 almost feels like a disadvantage (perhaps it is) the final ability can be killer, but sometimes it just isn't.

Play Gitaxias at opponent's EOT, he discards his hand. Absolutely crazy for 10 mana, on par with Emrakul even.

I can see this being the top target for reanimator in Innistrad.
Unburial Rights, anyone?

I don't think I've ever abused his flash. I could flash him in later, but I want cards now!

Are you f*cking kidding me?!
I thought Guile would never be dethroned as my favorite Blue creature,
but it looks like I was wrong.
With power like this, it's no wonder Phyrexia was able to conquer Mirrodin.
He's not even a graveyard dodger, making him one of the best creatures you could possibly reanimate,
and even if you hard cast him, he only costs 1 more than the 7-card Braingeyser he gives you (every turn),
with the *fairly* useful bonus of destroying your opponent's entire hand.
You've already won if you get Gitaxias out for a full turn,
but it would be a fun time to start casting Show and Tell and Eureka, nonetheless.
Screw Braingeyser and Helm of Obedience;
My Mana Drains have a new mission.
Another fun, if evil play:
R1- Leyline of Anticipation, Swamp; Dark Ritual, Entomb and au... (see all)
