As someone who still runs Armada Wurm, I really like this card. It's an efficient package, and all of the abilities are relevant. Do you guys think this is a worthy inclusion for cubes that are looking for a Selesnya fatty/Natural Order target?
This is no Sigarda or Armada Wurm, IMO. Looks like a multicolor 6-drop that just dies to every relevant piece of removal. If WG control is a big thing for your group (which would be rare) and you want an additional control-specific finisher to accompany Sigarda, this would be a fine choice. But it's a reasonable way for non-blue control decks to get an edge against blue control.
Fully agree with wtwlf. This is essentially just uncounterable and might as well not have the can't cast spells clause (yeah, it makes your other spells uncounterable too, but if you have a 5/7 flying lifelinker that's staying in play how many more spells do you need to cast?), as they just wait till their turn to terror it. Only good against counterspell.dec, which is a bit too narrow for me when it comes to a 6-mana gold card.

Word. Sigarda's Hexproof and more aggressive cc = GG for many opponents. This just is just a big fat dragon. Dies to tons of removal and IMHO has no relevant/significant effects a backbreaking 6 drop needs. Even the Titans do something considerable if they bite the bullet immediately. Sigarda is the premier GW beater. wtwlf123 has great points on why you'd want to include this dragon thing in addition to Sigarda, but it doesn't dethrone her.

I mean, hell, we're all on a forum for something that most people would describe as a "children's card game"...do what makes you happy. You are never too old to enjoy yourself.

This is a strong curve-topper, however. Anyone running Sigarda, Host of Herons might consider this instead.
