11 mana and 8 power on the board, there is better things to do.

I'm here to talk about my garbage.

This is a reprint of a banned card! OMG!

[( G_R )]

It reminded me of Mul Daya Channelers, but the rarity doesn't really make sense to me.

Like, here's your mythic, sorry it's not Sarkhan the Disappointed, but at least you get to be more disappointed than him.

Isn't this awesome in EDH to the point where it's probably banned before it's even legal?
The card may as well have no text on it for constructed purposes.

No, definitely not that good. Biorhythm is only banned because it comes out of nowhere. This guy is significantly more expensive and will usually give a one turn warning to either deal with him or get some creatures on the field. If you have the boots to give him haste and the board presence to make him lethal, paying 14 mana to win the game is probably okay. The Formidable on here makes him significantly less scary because you can't drop him alone after a Wrath.

100% for sure will not be preemptively banned, and I'm about 99% sure that he won't need to be banned ever. I don't think he's even playable in a lot of decks.

A mythic rare that won't be playable in any format, huh? WotC

[Stardust]

Well, I wouldn't say he's unplayable. He's probably still really good in the right deck. My friend's Yeva deck, for example, would play this guy because it's 90% creatures, so you can get some good mileage out of the first ability too.

I don't currently have a deck that wants him though, that's for sure.
