@Lyriq: No, but you could use the Overgrown Tomb as either one. His ability requires you to sacrifice two lands - at least one must have the subtype Forest, and at least one must have the subtype Swamp. Although Overgrown Tomb is both, it only counts for one.

This guy is a straight-up HOUSE. As I write this, he's been on sale for all of three days, and I've seen him as an EDH General, a member of the 99, and a few times in 60 card decks. Each time he touches down, there's a collective gasp from all the other players, and everyone starts trying to figure out how to kill him. Not only is he a bigger Boneyard Wurm, itself a fearsome beater in the right deck, but he also has the ability to sac your Boneyard Wurms, Lhurgoyfs, and Mortivores for massive life loss all around. Combo that with the fact that HE JUST WONT STAY DEAD, especially when running Life from the Loam to recur your sacced swamps and forests.
He is far more fearsome than he appears at first glance, and even at first glance people start quaking in their boots.
That is EXACTLY what a legendary creature and a mythic rare should be, powerful enough to inspire fear in your opponents.
5/5

Will not see Standard, but has potential to be a very nasty graveyard-matters Commander. Dredge your library, pump him up, sac a Lord of Extinction and swing... The last ability is gravy; with Crucible of Worlds and Life from the Loam Jarad can stay out of the Command Zone permanently.

4wolf359--Not a full 99 list yet, no, but I'm making one. And I do think that Commander is the only format other than Vintage or Legacy where he might be fair. :P Might.

Could you sac a single Overgrown Tomb to pull him back?
