There are no comments yet for this card.
For all the people who say "it dies to removal", so does nearly every other creature. It's still overpowered. Furthermore, blue doesn't care if you have a way to deal with it, because they can stop you from doing it. Goyf's extremely efficient cost allows you to play him AND have mana open to protect him. There's a reason why he's considered one of the best finishers for mono-blue ever made.

So why does Tribal count as a card type, but not Snow, Basic or Legendary?

Ok, I can accept that wizards from time to time makes this kind of overpowered cards, every serious player will have to buy/trade, only because the artwork is as horrible as the format, thus the price is inversely proportional to the originality of the player.

The only good side of this ever getting reprinted is then maybe the art will be better than this indiscernible blob.

A great 2-drop (if not the greatest), even if it was a total mistake. It will be used in all formats it is legal in until the end of Magic. Tarmogoyf fills many roles: A quick aggro beater, a protected control finisher, or a wall... for other Tarmogoyfs.

This card is neutering formats like affinity did to Mirrodin standard.
In Legacy deck development threads this is the response I hear to every interesting card choice: Why not Tarmogoyf? But how is this going to deal with Tarmogoyf? You should splash green for Tamogoyf. TARMOGOYF TARMOGOYF TARMOGOYF TARMOGOYF.

This card shows how much big dumb green fatties have to be pushed in order to be playable. Now that it has been printed and they can never print a bigger, cheaper green creature, they can focus on making other green creatures that have abilities that matter. Considering that green is the colour with the "best creatures", the fact that this card was an accident shows that green creature design still has a long way to go.

As a finisher in Legacy, if you cannot drop this spell as at least a 5/6 or 6/7 you don't know how to build a deck. To the n00bs saying he is not 'that' powerful, and doesn't have 'evasion' you are missing the fact that a creature immune to burn - the only color that can reliably play many removal spells in a turn - and with a cmc of 2 which is splashable, and can be supported by counter-magic easily.. I could go on.. IS evasion. I try to kill this card all the time. It is extremely difficult. It is not easy. It is really how quickly can you get your removal spell before jitte-equip ends the game? It is not comparable to any other creature because it's power-cost ratio makes it too aggressive to take any time to answer.Regrowth in the same color for the same splashable cost does not help.

@Tezz: In articles published by Wizards, Future Sight was designed to look at card mechanics that may or may not be used in the future. Some card mechanics were already being planned when Future Sight was made. It can be inferred from this card that Planeswalker cards were already in design during Future Sight's development.
