Guys! I finally get the reason this has Morph!
Ixidor was the person who originally created Akroma. But he was also the creator of Morph creatures! In this timeline, the Akroma he created is not only a rage filled, off colored angel, but more heavily tied into Ixidor's paradigm!

Blows Shivan Dragon out of the water! Why compare them, Akroma cmc 8 and ol shivan at cmc 6? Well...she morphs for 6. Firebreathing with pro blue and white...combines my favorite protection in red (like Goblin Piledriver pro blue, and Goblin Wizard with pro white). Isn't that what Shivan Dragon needed originally was trample, anyways?
Sword of Feast and Famine makes her a bruiser, nearly impossible to kill. Swiftfoot Boots (or Champion's Helm) and Batterskull are a nice choice, also.

No rest. No mercy. No matter WHAT ARE YOU DOING PLAYING AKROMA FACE DOWN ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND.

@Darthparallax
With the exception of suspend and 1 or 2 black cards haste was green in planar chaos.
That said haste is red everywhere else with a few green, black and blue exceptions with white only getting it on akroma and suspend creatures.
So I think you're right about them wanting a bigger contrast.
I can totally see an 8 or 9 mana 5 colored creature getting those abilities. Say:
Powercreep Elemental 4WUBRG
Legendary Creature-Elemental
Flying, Haste, Trample, Vigilance, Double Strike, Lifelink, Deathtouch, Hexproof, Protection from Planeswalkers
If Powercreep Elemental would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, reveal Powercreep Elemental and shuffle it into its owner's library instead
3/3
it'd probably not get first strike, since that's redundant with double strike, and it might lose an ability for landwalk or flash.
It'd almost certainly get the anti-reanimation text and/or phage/ myojin treatment.
Even with all those abilities a 1/1 would look anemic and a 5/5 or bigge... (see all)
