I guess OP wants it to be 'keyworded' like "dies" was. What word would you replace ETB with though?
When Aegis Angel is born?
When Huntmaster of the Fells arrives?
When Kitchen Sphinx lands?
When Faerie Imposter busts in?
When Dread Cacodemon pops in?
When Malfegor shows up?

calling it now: this card will hit $20. want. so much want.
Undying mechanic is going to force white players back into dispatch, and black players will want to run sever the bloodline.
I knew they wouldn't give Undying a "good" Mythic! I still like it, plenty of dumb meat.
You seem to want this card to be broken instead of mythic. if this card has haste over vigilance it would be broken. with vigilance, it is more fair but still good which is what i think standard will be heading to next rotation.
Strikes me as a good Standard playable rare, but I don't get any "Mythic" vibe from it. It's a pretty much a slightly smaller Craw Wurm that comes back from the dead and has been strangely given vigilance, woo-hoo. Cool critter, but it doesn't have any kind of real mythic feeling quality if you ask me and the addition of vigilance feels really tacked on.
don't really understand why its mythic and has vigilance...
Would you rather have this, or a hydra at mythic?
This is your hydra for the block. Vigilance is a tertiary in green, much like card draw, and both have been pushed recently.

It's pretty meh, they keep making these clunky creatures that fold to what's currently seeing play. Maybe if Vapor Snag and Oblivion Ring (among others) weren't everywhere this would be a reasonable choice, but when Consecrated Sphinx isn't good enough, this certainly isn't. Trample is really the main thing it has going for it besides Undying of course, now it doesn't just fold to Moorland Haunt.
Of course, things could change and this turns into a baneslayer like creature that requires an answer or you die.

Quite possibly one of the best 5-drops Pod could ask for. As for the triple-G mana cost, it's green. Green can deal with that because it can ramp for that if it needs to.
I agree that it shouldn't be mythic, though. It really doesn't need to be, it could've been just a normal rare.

As for the bug, I like it. it makes an interesting set of abilities on an undying creature with fat beats.
From the mind of Raymond Swanland: Valla, a plane made entirely out of brownish spikes.
Solid card overall. Good defender, good attacker, dodges removal. I like, and so does birthing pod.

Mostly because they like putting their new mechanic onto a mythic. similar to reaper from the abyss with morbid.

You ever seen Kodama of the North Tree? This card isn't much better.
