Terribly designed (or developed I suppose) card. Why not just 3b? Or 6/6? Or 3b 6/6 and tack on flying? At this point, why not? If Wizards doesn't remember that they can't just make cards better than what came before to make cards impressive then this game's powercreep is going to spiral out of control and the long term health of the game will be ruined. We need the next Masques/Kamigawa block to come sooner rather than later.

Nothing like potentially winning the game with zero mana.

You can Just exile it! The only reason all of us like this game so much is because no card is invincible. Walls block it! If you are non standard use reroute! Use Divine Verdict! There are so many ways just have fun playing this awesome game!

Ugh. Go away. The only reason this is not completely broken (har har) is that it dies to removal. But only "destroy" removal. Seriously? Come on wizards. Mythic Rare means interesting and can be built around. Not "Lets throw balance to the winds because no one will get it anyway right?" That is the logic that made black lotus and we all know how that turned out. You will get one if you really want it, it will just hurt your wallet like one of these guys coming at your face. Lastly, I feel the need to complain about the Color philosophy here. Green is the creature color. Black is sacrifice and all but this is on a creature so if it is really good it should be green! For Green

we get Leatherback Baloth, a vanilla 4/5. Shifting that to black (which ramps just as well anyways, by way of dark ritual, getting this guy out turn two) and adding one more mana gives it +1/+0, trample and "come at me bro." Why? That is so much good... Make a Viridian Obliterator 6/6 trample, hexproof and "W... (see all)

Just a big beater? Yeah. Swings for 5 a turn, costs 4.
Can't be removed by damage, including other creatures.
You get no immediate value from him, so Jace can bounce him and he'll get Condemn'd and Oust'd a lot.
If the mirror is ever relevant he dies to Go for the Throat.
He only swings through for 2 damage over a Sword-Feast-Famine'd creature.
If he ever gets tier 1 they'll SB Wall of Tanglecord for him ;__;

All that being said, he sure is one hell of a beater.
Don't EVER fight him fair.
PS: My favorite creature ever. 'Behold blessed perfection"
