I don't understand why Ludevic's Abomination would transform back if it has five hatchling counters on it as stated in the Innistrad FAQ. Only Ludevic's Test Subject has the conditions for transforming but not Ludevic's Abomination right?

Send the guy to the Training Grounds for a fouth-turn 13/13 trampler without any acceleration.

NeoKoda: It's a good thing this costs two.
I had a guy pull this on me the second turn, so I nuked it. Guy plays Stitched Drake next turn and says, "Thanks bud."
Basically this card either transforms and wins you the game, or it acts as a removal magnet for zombie fodder. That was a frustrating game to play.

It's possible (though not advisable) to activate the ability of Ludevic's Test Subject enough times in response to one another that a resolving ability places a fifth hatchling counter on Ludevic's *Abomination*. If that happens, it'll transform back into Ludevic's Test Subject.
Screw you, Oracle rulings! I'll do it if I want. Ten mana, whoo! In fact, I'm gonna set up an infinite-mana combo just to flip it repeatedly and spite the Oracle text telling me it's not advisible to do so.

This is the first card with a ruling that advises you to do or not do something that I've ever seen.

It's instant speed, that lets you use your Mana Leak mana if they didn't play anything worth countering. And then it turns into your finisher. In mono-blue, who cares if it takes maybe 6 or 7 turns to get your win condition out? Not a bad finisher at all.

He played alright in prerelease, as long as I wasn't going against green with Prey Upon. Unfortunately, 75% of the matches I played, they were playing some combination of green and he was taken out, even if I got him out on the second turn.

A 0/3 defender for four is really bad. But then it becomes great.
EDIT: I'm a squidiot, it costs 2.
Also, it's like the ugly duckling... (Finished in Ludevic's Abomination.)
