If only this guy had some relevant creature types. Like "egotist." I mean, I guess wizards are okay. Good target for Rush of Knowledge anyhow....
I swear I had something else to sa-- ALL HAIL THE GREAT LORD EGOTIST!

Two muffins are baking in an oven. One muffin says to the other muffin, ‘It's getting hot in here, huh?' The other muffin says ALL HAIL THE GREAT LORD EGOTIST

The flavor text says "Once I was human". As in, he's not human any more. So he shouldn't have the human creature type. I say his race type should be Ooze. He looks like he's a creature of living slime.

"Should have been an Elemental Wizard, or something equivalent to show that he has risen beyond the power of a mere Human. Almost anything suits him more than being Human, really."
I think you're not exactly getting the point. This guy is an Egotist. Therefore you can't exactly trust his claims. An egotist is a boastful person, so you can't really believe his word, or indeed his flavor text. He believes himself to have risen above the level of a human, but in the end he's still a rather weak, and definitely human wizard.
After all, this incerdible overbeing still gets slaughtered by 2 Little Girls.
Oh, to hell with this. ALL HAIL THE GREAT LORD EGOTIST.
By the way, thius guy is at home in every blue deck. If you've got the combos to go with him, great. Of not, he still makes great killspell bait. Any player worth his sauce, upon seeing this thing, will figure that's crazy combos waiting to happen and will try to remove him.

@Sleetfox: Yeah, it's absolutely hilarious! Especially since Arcanis the Omnipotent's only creature type is "Wizard" and me thinks OUR GREAT LORD EGOTIST should have been given the same treatment.
Or perhaps this is actually a subtle hint from Wizards that *gasp* OUR GREAT LORD EGOTIST is actually less than he claims he is?
... Probably not.

I could not understand this card when I first started playing MTG, I actually fed one to my Chinchilla as a symbol of my disgust but eventually I understood it. He has a CMC of eight but costs four to put on the table, there are so many things you can do with that, Energy Tap for eight mana, Juxtapose to exchange him for your opponents best creature.
And thats just my favourite two off the top of my head. The people who continue to hate this card need to develop an imagination and start thinking outside the box.
Nearly forgot,
ALL HAIL THE GREAT LORD EGOTIST!
May he come with his flock of Storm Crow to cleanse the world of it's sins.
