Is anyone else getting the feeling that with maybe the exception of the Elder Dragons, these mythics don't have much going for them? I mean, this one does feel pretty mythic... Maybe people will rejoice because these are "classic" mythics and not "I NEED 4 FOR MY STANDARD TOURNAMENT DECK!!!"
I actually get the feeling that this has much going for it as a mythic, because I agree that it does "feel pretty mythic" and that's the criterion I go by. You probably use another criterion that I personally don't tie to mythic-ness. Though there was at least one dud for me IIRC in that one kitchen sink design, Magma Opus.
I feel mythics need that one aspect out them, that one word and phrase that makes you stop and reconsider even if otherwise the effect is mundane e. g. you could turn this (at an appropriate cost) into a rare or uncommon by replacing the word "library" with "hand", but the moment you read library, you make a double take. Another example would be the phrase "five times" on Crackle with Power. And while that may sound like a Timmy-criterion, I feel "enters the battlefield or attacks" had a similar punch on Primeval Titan and co.

Heck, every day I wake up, I don't go out and kill people - and I'm rewarded by not having legions of enemies! Amazing how that works.
Although ninjas are experts of camouflage and concealment, they are actually horrible liars. This means that no matter where you are, you can shout out, “Are there any ninjas here?” and if there’s a ninja within earshot, he’ll be compelled to respond.
