Ugh, why can't this have worked from in the grave? Too expensive for any competitive play But does this mean there's gonna be a goyf of some kind in this set?

This thing's main use is going to be fueling UR Delirium in MH2 Limited, acting as more artifacts for the Jeskai archetypes... and very little else.
It's Tribal! One of my greatest nitpicks is that there are a tiny handful of cards that could have kept the tribal type alive (Blade of the Bloodchief is the best example). And this bring tribal puts all of that to rest.
Black/Green Delirium from a couple of years ago would have wanted this as a 1-of to enable a stronger finisher (we love you, Ishkanah but you were not an aggressive creature) but I can't clearly see what else might want this. Should enable any creature to be a finisher in Limited, though.
I can't stand Gavin so I didn't watch the video, but it amuses me that this turns on the rarest card type "tribal" for your tarmogoyfs if it ends up in the yard.
That's what some said about paradox engine
I'm still going to get a foil or two
Who knows...perhaps we'll see a decent 1drop goyf soon enough
Hahahhaha. No they didnt and to try to compare this to that is pure absurdity. At 2 or 3 mana, sure fine, but at 5 this is a crappy uncommon.
compare akroma's memorial and eldrazi monument - this gives probably +4/+4 minimum and trample in edh. If you're talking about modern - this would have the impact of overrun at best - and I don't see anyone rushing to put that in their decks.
This should have been a 2-3 mana card. Even in limited, it wouldn't have been that powerful because as of right now the second ability does absolutely nothing in sealed and draft.
Today Gavin talks about the history of Lhurgoyfs and tribal... then reveals a monument to the greatest of the lhurgoyfs, Tarmogoyf.

5 mana is just too damn much.
I mean it's doable as many cards have 1+ types so I guess it's a possibility but is it worth the fuss?

This set just continues to impress.
Seems like a missed opportunity.
Is this the first time a card has ever mentioned "Goyf", i.e., the short form? It feels very real-world Magic slang to me.
Also giving it trample for that final swing to avoid chump block isn't the worst thing ever.
