It's simple: if you do not like this card, then you are not a Timmy.

Very cool card, but one thing, why isn't this Mythic? This is like a prime card for a mythic slot. Massive, spectacular effect that makes you say, "Woah!"

I played this one sealed tourney early release weekend. In a long game (or one where you can ramp, i.e. with green mana generators) it sure does discourage ground attacks once in play, even if you can't pay the monster cost.

Once I did in a long game, it was just sick. With the 20/20 trample and indestructable, the defender can give up his army or stall for a bit (like with fog effects) and then just die.

I do wish people would quit commenting to play "Destroy Creature" cards for this...

Finally, if playing with green, a Ranger's Guile for G (for example) defends it nicely against exile spells.

I guess I'm a Timmy at heart, but this just screams for a way to make it playable late game.

I love that he keeps defender even once he can attack. Finally a great win condition for my green defender deck.

Can fight Gods, Eldrazi (which are plane destroying psuedo-gods), Insta Gib Planeswalkers (you and your PW cards) and win; with almost nothing to stop it.

Oddly enough it dies to a cat and a funky baseball.

Guardian of the Ages' self esteem was really hurt by everyone insulting its abilities, so it ran off to a distant plane and joined the military.

Also, this is gonna be REALLY COOL in EDH.

@salient: Those aren't houses. Those are scale temples.

I picked up a copy of this in for my Melek EDH, because I run a lot of CMC-dependent burn. In a 4-way game vs. Sigarda, Zedruu and Oona, I got milled out 2/3 of my deck and my mill-safe cards were exiled, so I needed to swing with this guy. They couldn't really stop it. When the Oona guy was killed and the Zedruu guy conceded, the Sigarda guy (who had paid so much life to his Sylvan Library to get to his combos) scrambled to cast enough blockers for it.

I Obliterated the next turn.
