Why is this rated so low? A 5/5 for 0? You tap 7 lands to play it, and untap 7 lands when he comes in. Fantastic.

Well, the classic combo is with Dream Halls or Recurring Nightmare. IIRC the Dream Halls combo was what got errata thrown on the "free" creatures back in the day (they could only untap lands if they were cast from your hand rather than untapping no matter where they came from). Classic is two Great Whales alternating between play and the graveyard using Recurring Nightmare. Yay, Mana!

Kryptnyt: I like Mastodon, but the fact that Neil Fallon of Clutch sings that part is what makes that song truly EPIC! Oh ... and Great Whale is great.

WHITE!
WHALE!
HOLY!
GRAIL!
I declare this to be the card for MTG player Mastodon discussions. Well this or Spectral Flight. Maybe Oblivion Ring...
(Also Crack the Skye was slightly better than The Hunter.)

@OmTheOmnipotent: Not only did you recycle that from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy without giving credit to it, you had several errors in it and didn't even finish it. *Shakes head* =/

It untaps for FREE.
And it untaps faster than other cards, too!
