So is Prismari's theme all about huge spells that you're meant to cheat out somehow. Tbh I'm not that impressed, mainly because I don't see them printing good enablers. So far the cheapest enabler is a 4 mana 1/4 double striker that will never connect with your opponent to enable these in the first place.
Tbh I can't see it working out, because I just can't see them printing good enablers, they will know if they start letting you cheat out these cards for like 2 mana it's busted, so will put the effect on otherwise bad cards.
Arguably the biggest knock of all on these spells actually is that ultimatums are legal in Standard anyway, so if you are going to start cheating out big spells, or even casting them as your game plan why would you not play them instead?

I'd point out it's not purely "cheat out". Torrent Sculptor gives another example of how they're looking to use these types of cards, allowing you to build your own Turn 3 9/9 or 10/10 with Ward. And Flamethrower Sonata on the other side gives an alternate means of using high CMC cards in your hand.

It would be a 6/6. A build your own 6/6 for 4 is hardly that impressive. Nullhide Ferox was effectively a 6/6 for 4 mana with Ward, and saw pretty much no play, and this is much worse.

Tbf, Torrent Sculptor can be used as removal when needed, and doesn't have the Nullhide Ferox downside of turning off noncreature spells for you. These are loosely-related, at best.

Oversized Prophetic Bolt, now with a discard effect so you can store it in your graveyard to cast later. I wonder if this is a subtheme. . .

the super overcosted spells that can be "cycled" for a treasure token.
there is Magma Opus already spoiled that fits the description as well.
I wouldn't hold my breath for those spells, though.
