Your opponent will undoubtedly have an AEther Adept or something to really male you regret this.

You can use Stifle because it's a triggered ability.
It's a really bad tradeoff. They should have made it 7/6 flying trample for 5 with just skip next turn or something. Or hell, if it was like 4/14 shroud can block any number of creatures skip next two turns at least it could protect you. But as it is? Not worth it.

omg. this card is awful. it gives you horible card disadvantege (unless you have a Necropotence or something out) and on top of that it is not that cheep, dosent untap for your next two turns, and sense win do "up the stakes" with a weeker creature, and there for the flaver is awfull. should have made it more expensive but was like a 12/12 and have vigalens to nigate the fact your only going to get to swing with it once untill you get another turn. maby insted of upping the price they should just up the turn loss and givin it the pluses. or maby a "skip a turn" affect that gave it advanteges to fit the fact that things tend to eat more than once.
edit: on second thought, Necropotence wouldnt work because it triggers on a step you dont have, and i feel relly stupid now because it wont swing at all during thoughs turns because you don't have an attack step. also the flaver is even worce because it is NEVER mentioned in the in tier miroden cycle... (see all)

You can't counter his ability with Stifle cause it only targets activated abilities. With the tap sign or the colon :

I was looking for a creature to use instead of Phyrexian Dreadnought in a "Dreadstill" deck. Looks like I just found it! It'll be my poorman's Phyrexian Dreadnought for now!

This is a fun guy to build a deck around... You're gonna be using Stifle right? Then why not take advantage of that card? Parallax Wave and Parallax Tide comes to mind... Hmmm, exile 5 lands for 5 mana? Seems like a GREAT deal! Oh, and what's that? Fading counters only dissapear on my turn... So if i have Wave and Tide out, i can cast him without worrying about the consequences of skipping 2 turns really ;)

A pretty impressive play on turn four, but it's very dangerous to play it otherwise. I'm thinking of using it with Quest for Ula's Temple, though, for some potential extra support during your opponents' extra turns. Might not be practical, but it would probably make for some laughs at the kitchen table.

Quest for Ula's Temple to slap it down and just play defensively with the other massive blue disgustings you're playing.

This is not that bad of a card at face value if you play it early. It can protect you pretty well since not only can it take a lot of hits, it will often get your opponents to keep their stronger attackers back since this will slaughter pretty much anything that will attack it by turn 4. You'll still take some hits, but you'll probably survive with enough life to clean up afterward, assuming you got some decent creatures (walls especially) out early. The main flaw with this card is that it's practically a dead draw without Stifle if you get it late.
Just don't ever play it in multiplayer without a darn good reason and/or combo. The minute this guy hits the table, everyone will try to kill you/it.
