I like the card. It's like a small Eureka.
Artwork and Flavortext are quite funny.
Sad that the latest generations of gigantic monsters (Progenitus, Emrakul and Griselbrand) and Omniscience turned it into a broken tool.

A turn 2 Emrakul is always good.

One of the reasons why emrakul got banned in EDH.

show and tell is a activity on elementary school, so whit a Emrakul, the Aeons Tornit would be something like;
"hey jhonny look what i have brought for show and tell a big ugly spaghetti monster" or
"teacher larrry's show and tell subject is trying to eat my schoolbag can you please tell him to let his ..... "thing" stop?" But that all would never happen, i think you'l be to old for show and tell by the time you found a way to get him inside.

Could work both ways if your opponent's holding good stuff too, but when combined with emrakul, the aeons torn or something big it's way too fast on turn 3.

@ drpvfx
I'm somewhat amazed this isn't restricted or banned yet.
No real need. Show and Tell decks (or Sneak and Show as they're often called due to the frequent combination of Show and Tell and Sneak Attack), while strong and having a presence, are far from tournament dominators. There's just too many viable answers in the formats it's legal in (Vintage and Legacy) for it to be worth banning.

I despise this card.
Note that I've never actually even seen a copy of it, but apparently it's causing Omniscience to see play in Vintage (or Legacy or something), and I wanted to grab copies of that without them being expensive. >_>

Well... from what I've pieced together, I think that's Ertai in the centre, Mishra to his left, and to Mishra's left... uhh... Teferi? I mean, I think they all went to the same academy.
I could EASILY be wrong...
No idea who the person with the white face-paint is, though.

To those that rated down "continue", I believe he's referencing a famous game where a Battle of Wits deck won off of a show and tell played by his opponent.
