Turning a land you control into a 7/7 with haste that's still a land on at turn four or five is damn awesome in my book, this card will definitely be going into my R/G Aggro deck once Innistrad and M13 rotates.

There's no reason for this to grant haste, but my guess is that they saw new players arguing about it in a playtest and decided they could circumvent the need for rules knowledge by having it grant haste as a freebie.

Once, there was a card. Everyone laughed at it. It's powers were almost useless at the time.

But then the Ancient awakened. There was chaos. All panicked. What could we do? And then we remembered him.

Is it card disadvantage? Yes. But so is Fireblast.

Another way to think of this card is:

Awaken the Ancient 1RedRedRedRed
Creature - Giant
Haste
When Awaken the Ancient enters the battlefield, sacrifice a mountain you control.
7/7

That's roughly the same. So, it's alright. I'd play it in limited. In constructed... hmmm...

I would use this in a Koth of the Hammer deck, and Elemental Appeal in a Chandra, Pyromaster deck.


Based mainly on flavor purposes. But I think it works. :)

The giant is awake because the player is done tapping that "Fee-fi-fo-fum."
