         This guy would be pretty awesome with Sneak Attack. He is a pretty appealing creature to Polymorph into as well. If only he were an artifact you could Tinker for him.

         keep in mind that summoning trap can be countered and neither the trap nor polymorph say cast. They put it on the battlefield, meaning no extra turn. That being said, it would still be amazing to put in on the battlefield. It's still a 15/15 with protection from colored spells and, most important, flying.

         You don't need it to be casted; it's a beast on its own. Go Prerelease promo!

         The first time anybody casts this card against a player that doesn't absolutely suck, let me know. You're probably never going to cast this.

         in limited, i see these guys getting played ALOT and wrecking the game. two of the green walls = 4 extra mana + any other defenders that may have been played. Since this set is supposed to be drafted 100% by itself I think the enablers will allow the eldrazi to be played everygame. That being said, it would appear a good way to draft would be to get those defenders / accelerators. But until the whole set is out / spoiled who knows. It would be hillarious if we are still able to run a super fast agro deck that always wins limited games. would really suck for R&D!

         I could see casting it in an Extended urzatron deck or casting it off a large mana drain in Vintage. Everflowing Chalice also produces a lot of mana in a hurry. The most likely scenario is if someone is playing a Summoning Trap deck and the game devolves into a long standstill. The Summoning Trap player has plenty of mana acceleration in his/her deck and should theoretically be able to hard cast it if the game goes on long enough.
