So this is probably the best card I ever pulled. I bought two booster packs today 1 Scars and 1 2011. My Scars booster included Koth and a foil Cystbearer. And then I opened the 2011 Core booster and pulled a Primeval Titan. Long story short, I spent 7 bucks today and got well over $90 in cards! Woot!

If your opponent is extremely tactical or lucky, Koth's -5 won't neccessarily win the game.

Mythics weren't supposed to be defining cards in the game, Wizards told us. They'd simply be above average cards. But oh no, now mythics, like Koth here, are becoming multifaceted staples to any deck that runs his colors.

"Every one of his abilities is better than the next. If he gets off his -5 it is game over."
Not to be too obnoxiously picky about language, but if every one of his abilities was better than the next, that would mean that they got steadily worse. Think about a line of numbers, where each one is bigger than the next-- for example, 5>3>1. In this case, 5 is bigger than the next number, 3, which is bigger than 1. At the end, you're left with something less than you started with, because you essentially said that the first number was the best you could get.
What I think you're going for is the similar phrase "better than the last," which suggests they just get better.

Turn 4 Koth, turn 5 kozilek, turn 6 destructive force? That seems...good. Leaves with some enormous eldrazi and Koth. And the other guy has no land. And you can bash for 4 with any remaining land you have!
There's a bunch of insane abilities right there...obviously you can never let Koth go ultimate. And you can never not have an answer when he uses his minus 2. And the plus 1 is plain annoying. People seem to be missing the point with the +1 - "oh noooes, you might loose a land!". Dude, why the heck are they going to be killing your manland rather than Koth himself - if they do that, they probably just lost the game right there? The mana acceleration is so incredible - oh, have I mentioned Kargan Dragonlord yet? - that this could potentially see Celestial Purge getting maindecked in the venser/elspeth blue-white decks. In fact he's potentially more format-warping (in standard, obviously) than Jace TMS, because although he goes into fewer decks - far fewer decks - his sheer bomb facto... (see all)

Finkel drafted this p1p1 in ChannelFireball's All Stars draft recently, lol. You can check the draft out via YouTube.

Is this the first time we've ever seen a card with quotes-within-quotes?
