This will see play... in my Worst Cards Ever cube alongside my foiled out sets of Homelands and Fallen Empires. Don't ask how I foiled them out--I just did. As previously mentioned, this is merely a vanilla disguised as something more. WotC, Aaron specifically, will call this card "medicine, something that exists to fill a specific need but doesn’t excite anyone." He's right that it won't excite anyone--though his claims that it fills a specific need are dubious at best.

Why Wizards? Why give him that ability... 3/2 vanilla > this ...
It makes you feel bad when putting him into mono-white deck and u feel like you put Rakdos in mono red deck..

I'd probably think twice about regenerating my vanilla 3/2 for six mana even if my hand was empty...
Considering this is an elephant, he might have started out as a 3/3 during design,
and Wizards just wanted to give him a tiny advantage by adding this ridiculously steep regeneration.
Then he got degraded to 3/2, and they forgot to reduce the activation cost.
Or they just thought it was funny to leave it at that.

...If you really, really want to pay the activation cost, you can regenerate it, I guess.

Those four Selesnyan Sentries must have had a LOT of mana...

Only reason I can see for the stupid regen cost would be the mana ramp with axebane guardians and defenders

I do think more tales would've been told of that day if that 24 mana had been spent in pretty much any other way you could spend 24 mana.

You heard it here first: Muraganda Petroglyphs is coming back into standard, and they wanted to make sure that this wouldn't be overpowered when that happened. So they made a vanilla that isn't eligible for the Petroglyphs.
