When Torrential Gearhulk enters the battlefield, you may cast target instant card from your graveyard without paying its mana cost. If that card would be put into your graveyard this turn, exile it instead.
Not seeing it as an EDH staple I must admit although a 5/6 with flash letting you recast a spell isn't bad. But the 6 mana spot is very cramped with great things and for one more mana you get a Diluvian Primordial

Oh opponent casting a big finisher/stabalizer/dragon/planeswalker/etc.. How about I just flash this in, to flashback the counterspell I used earlier in the game to keep them off balance. So they have nothing, I have a 5/6. Seems fair.
Keeping up 6 mana might be tricky, but even without the counterspell idea, can still see a lot of value flashing this in just to block. Maybe with an added bonus bounce value from a Just the Wind or something.
This card is *strong*, wow. Being able to flashback a counterspell or removal spell and then also get a 5/6 that can block Elder-Deep Fiends, eat Distended Mindbenders, and survive Kozilek's Returns is going to be so good in standard. This card seems great, and the fact that it's restricted to instants only is the reason it's allowed to have such great stats. If it hit sorceries too it'd have to be way more expensive, as there are so many huge sorceries this could be abused with.
That's an amazing blue control card and would warrant the inclusion of your standard 3 drop block themed counterspell in your main deck just for that shell.
6 mana is fine when you consider it's pretty much everything a Blue mage wants wrapped up in a single package

>free instant spell
>blue artifact, for those who play with old and powerful cards
Though, as I understand it Standard has been pushing Sorceries rather hard so it's probably not at its strongest at the moment.
Heh. For the flavor of it flashing into play, I imagine it must be like calling down a Titan in Titanfall. The fact that the white one has 'mecatitan' in its name (either Spanish or Italian, I don't recall which) only adds to the flavor for me. Really liking the gearhulk cylce so far. And they all probably play well with Panharmonicon, too.

Snap Mae you pay mana
Goblin dark dweller more like it..
Looks good. Sick value with Gifts Ungiven for Unburial Rites + this, then reanimate it and cast Gifts for more cards.

All in all, I could see this seeing play.
*imagines that thing flashing into existence*
better hope it lands right where you wanted it to
geez
Yeah i know i understand. Making an Evacuation every time sounds stupid
