A legendary that's only really legendary when used as a commander. It could be fun to have it come into play as itself (using graft or something so it has more then 0 toughness) and then play Clones and copy spells targeting him.

This card is incredibly wacky and fun at the same time that I wish very whole heartedly that they had replaced the titans for m12 with these commanders so we could play them in standard. I think a lot of people have already given plenty of ideas for combos. Note that it says any graveyard, not just your graveyard. You can use your opponents creatures as well. I personally love the idea of having a 20/20 acidic slime from exiling a lord of extinction, and then using an overwhelming stampede, or make it unblockable with whispersilk cloak.

I'm not sure about using this guy as a general, since you have to wait until you have two good creatures in the graveyard to really make use of it.
That said, good counter-donors for The Plaz:
Death's Shadow (13)
Phyrexian Dreadnought (12)
Force of Savagery (8)
Phyrexian Soulgorger (8)
Desecration Elemental (8)
Nyxathid (7)
Citanul Centaurs (6)
Groundbreaker (6)
Hungry Mist (6)
Ravaging Riftwurm (6)
Krosan Tusker (6)
Scion of Darkness (6) (and might also be a good thing to copy, if you have something else in your grave for counters)
Slipstream Eel (6)
All of these have some way to get themselves into your graveyard by the time you could cast The Plaz. Obviously the first two of these are the best, since they're bot... (see all)

Everybody loves mimeoplasm. In my play store, I recently hadan EDH game in which 3 of 4 had mimeoplasm as general. He satisfies both the Timmy and Johnny in you. "what creature should I pick for general? How about a creature that can be ANY creature with an extra boost?"
"Thank you mister horrible gelatinous blob!"

As people have pointed out... Deaths Shadow is awesome for the counters... but use Hydra Omnivore, and you got a general that's doing 21 General damage to a player, and 21 regular damage to every other player (since it wouldn't be considered combat dame as I understand it)
Regardless, thats half their life

I find this card to be incredibly overpowered. It's also the most fun I've ever had with one specific card. With all the different combinations that this card can make it will be an excellent addition to most multi-colored decks. Powerful... Yes. Broken... Almost. Fun... God yes. The only people who hate this card are the people who have been steam-rolled by it.

One of my favourite combos with this is Timbermare + Lord of Extinction (preferably when there are 16+ cards in all graveyards)
Not a lot of creatures have Haste and "evasion" like Timbermare does
