If only he were an artifact you could Tinker for him.

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. zendikar killed 5cc

Date Posted: 4/5/2010 Posted By: Matthew Ratz Member Since: 2/29/2008	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! Playing to Win is Playing for Fun - Matthew Ratz
Date Posted: 4/5/2010 Posted By: Christian Collodi Member Since: 5/5/2008	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.
