I don't really get the whole "this is the win con for superfriends!" thing. You're playing superfriends. Your planeswalkers are wincons already.
Traditionally, yes, but this set is introducing a whole host of PW’s who can’t quite seal the deal themselves.
True, and I'm not saying the card doesn't have uses - I think it really goes off with new Kiora, for example. But that's not superfriends. I feel like some are reacting to this as if "oh now we have the perfect wincon for superfriends" and that's what I don't really agree with.
Gleek? Or Gleeok? Though if this is Gleeok, what about Aquamentus, Dodongo, Manhandla, Gohma, Digdogger, Patra, Moldorm, and Lanmola?

Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

its neat, but its just another kalonian hydra. tons of initial hype, tons of casual appeal, but in the end it kinda just sucks and dies.
