It's an excellent in-block card. Ramping into four colors with artifacts (especially now, if you count out of block!) is not hard to do at all, and Glimmervoid, the Talismans, the Artifact lands, and all the green color ramping available in Fifth Dawn can allow you to consistently hit this for its full sunburst count on the fourth turn, and I've done it earlier, too. Then, attack until it dies, and blow it up for a Ancestral Recall's worth of cards. As MasterOfEtherium said, a 4/4 for 4 is nothing to shake a stick at.

This sits high on my list of awesome Fifth Dawn cards, and it probably will for a very long time.

Plus, I absolutely love the artwork! Matt Cavotta did a great job here.

People often try to use this card as card-drawing engine and fail, because creating ~four~ +1/+1 counters is much work and takes much effort without the very obvious Doubling Season.. I'd say, be happy with your three cards and have fun bashing face with a nice 4/4 creature until then! :) By the way, this is probably the only card page where MasterOfEtherium's comment has a decent rating and is even quoted by other people..

You really have to bust your ass to be able to put 4 different colored mana into this. But if you can mana fix I guess it's an alright card. It will also be much better if you have multiple Energy Chambers in play, though this dude is a secondary target for them at best in a deck that revolves around the chamber.

At first I thought it read, remove a +1/+1 counter, draw 3 cards. I was all excited until I reread it after looking at the rating.

Basically a 4/4 for something like WhiteBlackRedGreen, with pay 1 sacrifice to draw 3.
