Say there's a bunch of creatures on the board, and this, and then your opponent Supreme Verdicts you. She'll stack a billion scry triggers, so next turn you'll topdeck another threat. Wow.

Such a great card, though I'm not a huge fan of the art.

I wanna say, Skullclamp, but that sounds a little too evil.

There are a few more subtle tribal themes in Theros. Gorgons are one of them. What are the others?

A lot of you here have said interesting and/or accurate stuff that promotes the effectiveness of this creature.
I'm going to make a brief comment on what I think of this card. It's value. Value in a lot of the sense of the word.
Casting cost/Power-Toughness ratio, a lot of abilities available, deck Manipulation, strong defender/killer, resistant to removal.
VALUE

Dodges a great deal of common standard removal and is hard to take down.

For when you want to use two Myr Retrivers and a sac engine as a tutor.

Plugged this into my Ghave, Guru of Spores EDH deck. It was not uncommon for me to be chaining multiple scry 1 triggers, especially in combination with Grave Pact / Martyr's Bond - I think the record was 10 or 11. Fixed my draws excellently.

When I first saw this card I thought it cost 5 and that it was solid for Limited. Then I played with it and it scried through my entire deck ... twice. That extra toughness is not irrelevant, i makes the thing damn near unkillable, even when you can't keep hexproof up. Due to green mana and the abundance of tricks, no one wants to block it and if they do the opponent has to double or even triple block. Then for one black mana you get to kill anything in it's path. Next turn bring it back with Pharika's Mender. If I am in Black or Green I am splashing for this monster.
