Mtg is in a vicious circle of Sick removal - Sick fatties - Some more sick removal - Some sick fatties WITH shroud or INDESTRUCTIBLE - More sick removal that ignores indestructibility - The Eldrazi - what's next..?
When is this going to stop? :(

6 mana for an 8/8 trample that cant be countered? red's having a hard enough time just pumping out a 5/5 flyer for 6 mana let alone uncountable or anything else
if this isnt signs of power creep, i dont know what is lol, this card seems insane to me, especially for a rare, mono green is looking strong

Green has a high level creature type Angel/Demon/Dragon its Elemental and i think blue is getting the Sphinx.

How is this a 50 cent card? MTG has gotten so jaded from when I started playing back in the late 90s during the Urza Block. If this thing came out with that set, it probably would've garnered a $10 price tag and would've been considered the defining fatty of any of the three urza block sets. I take nearly a decade long magic hiatus, and come back to see this thing priced at 43 cents on blackborder.com.

I think this is a pretty good example of the run away train that Wizard's R&D has become. I'm not going to say "power creep" because it is so over quoted that the term has lost it's meaning. I mean the battle between removal vs creatures that Magic has become.
If you don't believe me, look at the older removal spells. Slow, costly, and/or restricted. This is why older creatures could afford to be worse for their cost. They would stick around a lot longer. Or they would be hit with more pseudo-removal and could be recovered.
Now we have Doom Blade and it's 5+ cousins that all put Terror to shame. Even 
has unrestricted removal (which was next to unheard of, especially to hit creatures, without huge mana costs) plus a metric ton of pure flying hate.
So how does Wizards make the cost of casting a creature in this environ... (see all)

and i agree with Eggroll.
blue has been so shunned by wizards its frightening to think about what green might become next...

While spells have gotten weaker over time, creatures have definitely gotten better. This vs the old Force of Nature is a pretty amazing shift...and FoN was already pretty fearsome if you didn't have an answer immediately.

Madformedusa, if you didn't notice, Naturalize doesn't remove creatures and Acidic slime is 5CMC and can be evaded or removed in regards to keeping creatures safe.
Although I don't want to jump to conclusions, I tend to agree the anti-blue aspect of this card is pretty crazy. What could blue answer this with?
EDIT: Mindbreak Trap, evidently.
