I can't scroll down and see the card. Could someone give me the text please?
Edit: Ok I can see the full card now. What's the point of this card really? Kill an non-Emrakul Eldrazi each turn??
I don't like complaining about cards, so far I've been satisfied with every card so far and think people need to understand applications for cards to different audiences across different formats. But this one I just don't get. Maybe there's some combo to be made changing the word "creature" to player and using it for free in some eternal format but until someone shows me something, worst card of the set so far and it's a rare
So they decided to complete the Tower cycle? Which is odd, because that cycle was entirely based around Aladdin's Ring in the first place. In concept, at least, the mana cost is different...
In summation.....Star Trek wins a prolonged naval battle against superior, yet less technologically advanced, numbers, with Picard leading the assault, while Kirk takes your soul by laying out Solo and probably his manservant Chewy as well, before impregnating and ditching your Princess.
Why 12 damage? Probably because the other towers have an activation cost of 8. Thus, this tower needs an activation of 8, and an appropriate amount of damage for 8 mana.
I didn't see any threads about it, must have just gone up within the last few minutes, or I am unobservant.

I hate when people change their avatar's. That's how I identify most people, not by names.

Other than that, it's another boring and bad rare, another reason for me to not buy packs.

Wow. One way to fix the problem of having bomb-dependent draft sets? Make nearly every rare a bomb!
I love that it doesn't destroy target creature and instead does 12 damage to it. It's such ridiculous overkill!
My inner johnny is so stoked. Stuffy Doll, anyone?
Geez, EDH decks are going to need some re-doing after this set comes out. What an awesome, flavorful and fun card.

In my opinion, it needs ramp. But it kills anything short of Emrakul, The Aeons Torn

I'm sorry, M:tG nostalgia just jumped the shark. GIVE ME SOMETHING NEW.
Oh, and, I smell a Phyrexian Dreadnought callback on its way, too.
No but seriously...bad rare.

Has the concept of "Sequel Block" not quite sunk in yet?
