I dunno what game you're playing but even in GTC limited (ridicolous fast limited) i always played one 6~7 mana spell and never had real trouble in casting it.
I am willing to bet at the pre-release I will come across at least 1 guy that after the game is over he will show me his hand and whine about never hitting a 7th land drop, or never getting 3UURR in a 5 color deck, or just never having enough creatures to make the spell relevant.
if this polls was "What would you last pick?" I would say the Z.T. Ancient.
The possibilities are endless.....of what your opponent can do with 10-12 mana during their next turn....
The fact that he is an undercosted 7/5 for 5 mana is completely negated by the fact that now your opponents can now play their overcosted fatties, and/or just straight up win the next turn....

I just want to point out that the file name is Guild IMAGE 03, not mage.
