You know, I would be more excited if this has a Mirran watermark, but since I decided I'll NOT be supporting the evil, vile Phyrexians I'm not going gaga over this.
This isn't to say I dislike the card. I think it's a very powerful card that could see a variety of play. I think it's time we ought to stop dismissing powerful Timmy spells. Eldrazi, Titans, Wurmcoil Engine...Jamie Wakefield would be proud.
Good card and could make a splash in a largely colorless artifact deck but as it stands i would say all the M11 titans are better than it except maybe frost titan.
It's an instant speed 5/5 trampler for 4. Wtf do you people want seriously? It has applications in populate/ above the curve beats decks, or in Bant control/ flash. I seriously think anyone mad at this card for any reason other than losing an attacker to instant speed wurm, should go home and make their own awesome card game and leave the rest of us alone.
Starcitygames.com (where I first saw this card a few hours ago) is already pre-selling for $7.49 and has "and" in the description.
Absurd if it is "and" but with all the other crazy 6/7cc creatures lately, not completely surprising...
We have no information except what is on this thread, and the prevailing translation on this thread seems to be "And" - but please don't read anything into it other than we've following the spoiler season closely!

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.
6 mana is a lot more mana than 4, all considered. This is a good card, no doubt, but anything costing 6 can do pretty absurd things before being considered broken.
So its 6 for a 6/6 lifelink, trample, and when it dies get 2 3/3 wurms with deathtouch? is that it?
if so... i dont like it. its just to nuts, and people dont think it will even see a large amount of play, or even be to expensive due to other mythics in the set. im i the only one that thinks this? 5 years from now, this card will suck, and there'll be a 8/8 trample lifelink for 6 with affinity with no drawbacks.
WAY above the curve, but not broken in the slightest.
Though I'm really hoping you only get one of the "Wurms" out of it rather than both, because that would be pushing it...severely.

No, you get one wurm with deathtouch and one wurm with lifelink.

Yeah, because Mirrodin and Maro don't have reputation for trucking heavily on broken cards.

Every time I see a good "is put into a graveyard from play" effect on creatures I can't stop thinking about white removal vs black removal, exiling being so superior to destroying. So we have swords to plowshares, path to exile, versus smother, doom blade. When black destroys this creature black gets shafted. When white exiles this creature (and many more creatures that are seeing play in competitive decks), white wins. Me-not-understand.
WHY don't they just put "graveyard or gets exiled" or leaves play?!
this is ridiculously powerful for a colorless creature
edit: LOL you can spot swanlands art from a mile away i recently bouaght a fiction book and looked at the cover an immediatly knew it was swanland he definantly has his own style

that doesn't mean it's confirmed 'or' .. it seemed rude for you to correct him on something that isn't 100% sure yet..
OT: i like it better as or, more thinking involved, and not as ridiculous.
I don't see an "or" clause, or anything that looks like it there.

That makes the most sense to me too. Very flavorful.

Still to crazy, i'd be happy to pull it, but not play it...

That's because everything Swanland draws looks like a vengevine...

He's lifelink and deathtouch, right? Not trample? And then you get one 3/3 lifelink, and one 3/3 deathtouch? Sweet money.
