Most people look at this and say "Meh, only good in a lifegain deck." While it won't be seeing any high end tourney play, don't underestimate this card. By turn seven, any white deck worth it's salt will have at least ten to fifteen life. A 15/15 beater is nothing to scoff at, the fact that you get it back when it dies is icing on the cake.
And yes, this is amazing in Commander. That alone makes it deserve 4/5 stars.

A lifegain deck nowadays can go into several hundreds of life with a Beacon of Immortality or two. The idea of a 300/300 Avatar appeals to me, even though by that point you might more easily end the game with Test of Endurance or Felidar Sovereign.

Not bad, though it probably needs other cards to push it into the realm of deadly (evasion, trample, etc.) Obviously intended for Commander.

Might work well in Soul sister/Martyr decks as a one-shotter with Brave the elements. Still pretty weak because of its high mana cost and required comboing to get through, also it has no protection itself. But maybe in a right deck has potential to be good.
4/5

Hmmm, not too happy with this reprint, actually. I agree it has some mythicness in it, but I won't like drawing it.
Goes nicely with Rhox Faithmender, though. Any lifegain gives her +2X/+2X.

Why did they waste a mythic slot on this? You are not going to play it in Standard or modern, and for the other formats, it already exists. Seems like a waste of a perfectly good mythic slot.
Without any kind of evasion or abilities at all, this is underwhelming. Should have made a version with flying or something. This is a large vanilla creature, and I don't like it. Then again, I never liked lifegain decks, so just ignore me, I'm just venting my frustration.
