I can get him out reliably with Harabaz Druid in my Ally control. I don't always get him out, but he's never out of reach. And Jin is pretty much insta-win.

Everflowing Chalice + Inexorable Tide = Jin-Gitaxias a hell of a lot faster.
One of this guy's quotes is the flavor text of Inexorable Tide. Coincidence? I think not!

This card is deliciously epic combining it with Forced Fruition. It REALLY makes your opponent desperate to play cards at times they wouldn't normally play them.

He's pretty awesome. Having said that.. If you're tapping out on 10+ mana, don't you want it to win you the game right then n there?

@ TheMurderousKitten : I don't see how 3 cards (I don't count one land card being towards that limit) is a "perfect" hand. But it would be a defiantly big play.

I'm not so sure about casting it. Reanimating it is delicious, though. Right up there with Iona, Shield of Emeria on the list of best reanimation targets.

Not bad combo with Praetor's Counsel in a Dream Halls-based deck

Careful, get him out too early with not enough time to defeat all of your opponents, he could easily mill you.

Hmm...
My personal flavor text for this card:
"If I enter play and last 1 round of play... I will be firmly placing my manhood in your backside. And... to be quite honest with you... I do not plan on being very gentle either.' =/
All of you internet deck haters... here is something to consider for your friends that play this garbage:
faerie macabre Free graveyard hate at anytime, that goes around counter magic. Hows that?

I just played him in a slightly modified Mirror Mastery Commander deck with Animar as a general. With the +1/+1 counters already on Animar, Jin-Gitaxias was a UU instant played at the end of turn of a Ghave deck that had just Skullclamped its way into a dozen 9/9 trample creatures on the next turn. Instead he had to discard his hand and I got to win the game.
With Animar, Soul of Elements as General and something like Forgotten Ancient in the deck, I think this guy has to be an auto-include.
