How this isn't closer to 5 amazes me. He's been a staple of standard play since he was introduced, and while the best lands to use him with are rotating out with Zendikar block, just the sheer fact that he ramps 2 lands each turn means that he'll probably still see play in some form of competitive deck.

He's a titan, what more can be said?
Seems to me, Wizards is stuck on a runaway cycle. They started printing better creatures, (more abilities, more aggressively/competitively priced) and aggro reigned. Then they printed more and better quality removal (Path of Exile, for example) to try and balance it, and control took over. So to get past the removal, they made even BETTER creatures with more CIP effects or evasion to make them worth the cost even if they get shot down. Again, aggro stomped. And now we are here, with the titan cycle, six versions of terror (each better than it in some way) and who knows what the next set will show.
I know Control vs. Aggro should naturally ebb and flow but the steady one-upping they are doing lately doesn't seem like a good thing. I mean, where will it lead? Eventually we hit the "unstoppable force" of kill spells and the "immovable object" of evasive creatures. What then?

King of Landfall. The fact that this guy can search for TWO of ANY lands is the wonder of his ability. Search for something like two Evolving wilds, you'll trigger landfall twice and another two times later when you use evolving wilds' effect. 5/5 for me. 6/6 trample beatstick only makes it more awesome.

Looking at the rest of the set I really see no reason why the titans won't dominate for another year, I mean there is nothing that can compete with them from what I've seen so far, I'm thinking Grave Titan is gonna be the be the new king of the titans though.

Here's hoping there's a cool land in Innistrad.

Someone tried to tell me this was the weakest of the titans.
I laughed.
For one, it's the only one with trample.

Once Valakut rotates, I could see this guy actually being at a reasonable power level... sort of :P
