i personally think he is amazing, like, if you swing in with him and 2 other kinds of atogs..
you can sac a bunch of stuff for the appropriate atog, then they have the dilema... block the already big regular atogs and get ready yo take a massive amount of damage from this guy, or block him and just let the others through

HAVE NONE OF YOU POOR SOULS EVER BEEN TOLD ABOUT COMMANDER???
Seriously, not a single comment even addresses his potential as a commander. Atogatog is a hilarious and deceptively powerful general for a wacky five-color combo-control deck. You can smash in and score a commander kill, sure, aided by cards like Artful Dodge and Rancor, but the super cool way to win is to wait until your opponent is ending his turn and spring your combo: Thaumatog eats all your lands, Psychatog eats your hand, and Atogatog promptly gobbles up everything remaining, including itself. You win at upkeep with Barren Glory.

I"M GOING TO MAKE AN ATOG DECK!!!
in the end he wont eat necratog, because necratog will eat his leftovers and I'll be left with two powerfull creatures for one turn....
nah they should have made this an unhinged card.
rereads card, actually he will eat necratog, just last.....

Yo dawg, I heard you like atogs so we put an atog in your atog so you can sacrifice while you sacrifice
If you can give him trample or any other sort of evasion (Rancor is one of the cheapest ways) he can probably be devastating.

Idea for the next "un" set.

Sacrfice a card called Atogatog: Atogatogatog gains +X/+X until end of turn, where X is twice the Atogatog's power.
7/7

the design of the artwork is fantastic - you can see every existing atog card older than this one displayed there. (from left bottom corner to right upper corner: Chronatog, Atog, Auratog, Necratog, Foratog).
especially the name is genious, and the stats are also suiting perfectly to this card!
yet it's such a pity he doesn't have trample. a guy like this should actually be a finisher.
maybe they didn't give him this ability as there wasn't any other atog that gained more than increased p/t.
Megatog broke this consistancy anyways some years later...

It's not really usable, but the flavor text, art, and craziness are just amazing. 5/5

The fact that he doesn't inherently have trample upsets me. You would think that a five color, 5/5 legend would have trample, but maybe that's just the powercreep corrupting my reason.

You'd need a deck built around this guy to use him, and even then it isn't worth it most of the time.
That being said, atogs are awesome.

Has anyone considered shapeshifters or various cloning devices? Throw this in a Soul Foundry and pay 5 per turn to make a 10/10 every turn. Have fun and make it unblockable. Or even Mirror Entity. Make all of your creatures 6/6, then sac all of them, then attack. Play Cephalid Pathmage the turn before, then tap and sac to make Atogatog unblockable.
