Woo! I'm the first person to post for this one as well! I happen to be a Johnny-Timmy-Melvin. A Vorthos I am not. People who play magic are supposedly planeswalkers, right? So why is Johnny there a legendary and not a PW? Now that I think of it, actually, even THAT wouldn't be right. Players are what's called "old" planeswalkers, really uberpowerful. However, after the planar chaos, no more uberplaneswalkers were born. A new breed of PW began being created after that event. They were less powerful, and capable of being expressed on a single card, i.e., the pw cards. If Johnny was really a player-style planeswalker, he wouldn't even be fittable on a PW card.

I know someone in my comic store's EDH playgroup who asked, "Can we use unhinged cards in EDH?"
He says he doesn't have any cards from there, but I don't go to his house and see his collection (Because I don't really know him!).
My argument was, "Unhinged/Unglued had too many cards that'd just wreck the whole game. Imagine if someone was using Johnny, Combo Player as a general. First tutor would be Training Grounds, second would be Heartstone (MAYBE), third plus would be who-gives-a-diddlydick. Also, imagine Richard Garfield as a general. Remember that time Storm Crow turned into a Time Walk? Well, know you do. And Mox Lotus? Gleemax? There're too many ways to cheat in cards like that (master transmuter for one)."
I guess I was a little harsh, because he never came back after that. I mean, I wasn't trying to sound mean... (see all)

The flavor text describes me perfectly.

Aside form being a creature and being an un-card, this is strictly better than Jaemdaye Tomb and Treasure Trove

Judging by the pattern, it's obvious what Spike's ability is:
7: Search your library for a creature card and put it onto the battlefield.

Hey look they made a card out of me. How thoughtful :)
Might I suggest the following update, though?
Parallax of Doom---2UB
Legendary Creature- Human Horror
When Parallax of Doom is countered, you may search your library for up
to two cards, and put them into your hand. Then discard your hand.
0/0
"I pick....Knowledge Pool, and Rooftop Storm. Prepare for all hell to break loose."
EDIT: anyone wondering about the wording, consider it the Ultimate Test of Johnnyness. It's not question of 'is it broken?', but rather 'what is the answer? HOW do I break this?'

@Sutebe - Nah I think they got it about right, he's only a 1/1. XD

@DarthParallax: Uh, let's try this:
Use Word of Command, Nether Void, or Fold into Æther to counter it, then something like Open the Vaults to bring everything back. Use Conspiracy to make use of Rooftop Storm, allowing you to cast Primordial Sage for 
and subsequently the rest of the creatures in your deck, but only after you've played Mana Severence to make sure you don't hit any lands, of course. Knowledge Pool will f*** up your opponents' attempts to stop the combo, if nothing else.
But Knowledge Pool alone is enough to make all hell break loose.
As for breaking it without using Knowledge Pool or Rooftop Storm, the easy example would be using it to help dredge up four Vengevines while using Neth... (see all)

If Wizards makes a Spike card in the next Un set, may I suggest the following flavor text?
"You don't have to wait. I already have you right where I want you."
