Humm, every player has his own magic card pet, so do I, since month ago, when I first tested my EDH deck with Sensei Golden Tail as commander I got 8,5 Tails and Opal Eye on the table and my commander, which was equiped by Konda’s Banner,and Oathkeeper, Takeno’s Daisho. It was pretty late game, so I had like 10/11 lands on my disposal, so, this trio made miracles first I saw how protective and both good in atack and defence it can surely be!
That time I could go to buy soda, while this cards gonna winning by itself =p

To all the people joking about why he doesn't have nine tails, it's actually a pretty cool story.

tl;dr: He was the one who gave Konda the ability to steal That Which Was Taken, inadvertently starting the Kami War. Out of shame for the millions of deaths he caused, he cut off half of his 9th tail.

Outstanding, what more could you want? we're talking traditional prevent types, the tails is only 2 w to play and is a super quality gameplay, adds tons of dynamic option, great way/version of lockdown... the tails is giving you just about everything you need to win, all you have to do is some damage of your own, the tails has got you covered !
When you rate a card like this you have to think somewhat specific to its color and the gameplay it represents/encourages, as well as how it stacks up generally with any other play... There's plenty of the spirit and essence of white in eight-and-a-half-tails, what more do we want it to do? it couldn't possibly remain 2 w to play and we would basically be creating a new card... I was impressed the first time I came across this card and it wasn't long before I got a hold of 4 for my collection.
no major weakness here either... keep in mind that a really good spell should cause most anybody trouble...

@Qazior
I think Mode is right. It would be a response to a spell. Just like counterspell works, you saying they can't play it and it fizzles. His statements still allow it to pass, but changes the color before it hits the battlefield.

The second ability gets especially interesting when combined with other cards that interact with that,
being Angel's Feather for 1 or Balefire Liege for 3 life, Deathbringer Liege for tapping creatures, Havoc for letting your opponent lose 2 life, Yawgmoth's Edict to let him/her lose and you gain 1 life, Putrefaction for discard, and the most of all:
Stromgald Cabal to counter any of your opponent's for 
and 1 life! Now that's a nice combo.
I also love the artwork with his tails, although it makes one tend to believe he has flying since he's hovering above the ground.
