I understand that each Primordial has an ETB ability associated with their color, but Swords to Plow is good because it is an exile spell at 1 mana, wich is really good. When you have the same effect on a 7 mana creature, it isn't that good anymore. While it is useful, it could have been just exile without the lifegain and it would have been much better, without being overpowered

Swords to Plowshares Primordial. Utter garbage. Even in EDH there's better ways to do what this thing strives to do.

I know Swords to Plowshares is supposedly good but I'm not a fan. There's waaaay better removal in white without giving you opponent life (o-ring anyone?). unwrapped a copy and its gathering dust. for 7 mana I want something really massive. Only time I could see this being good is if your opponent had a small creature with a great abiliy (Krenko, Mob Boss or the like).

I can see that wizards are trying to cater to multiplayer and other games besides just constructed, and I really appreciate that, but I was still underwhelmed to pull this instead of a rare I'd actually have liked.

One of the best of primordials because in white there are so many ways to abuse ETB effects. Same with the blue primordial.

Mass Swords to Plowshares.
5/5 for being EDH gold.
2/5 for being really over-expensive in heads up play.
3.5/5 sounds fair to me.
