I am Simic at heart,but I cant bring myself to like this creature.
Green creatures are usually very big and cost effective.Blue creatures brings evasion and shenanigans.
This card feels like its caught in between,it wants to be a little bit bigger,but it cant,and other simic cards cant help him either.
It also cant match against most powerhouse white angels,black demons and red dragons.
Chances are if this is going to win you a game,any other big trampler or flyer would have done too.
The perfect balance would have been 6/6 for 4GU, 7/7 for 5GU or hexproof instead of shroud.

The reason people like it is for one certainly your reason but there's also more the nostalgia factor as well. While there weren't any true dominating tier 1 decks right when Ravnica first came out, the Simic deck which used cards like Coiling Oracle and Kodama's Reach to ramp into this monstrosity was one of the best decks in the format hands down. Dealing with this guy in standard was nigh impossible short of a Wrath of God.
He's still a decent dude now, gives a lot of older players heavy nostalgia to the days of original Ravnica, and is still a solid limited bomb in cube-type formats.

Not only a great creature, but is a statement on how much people rely on removal to deal with any decent creature. I find the fact that people can't get 6 power into the air rather pitiful.
