A 40 dollar mythic rare would constitute a must have 4 of that goes in many decks.
Stats About Mythics
-Mythics are on average 40% rarer than pre-mythic rares
(old blocks about 200 rares, Mythic blocks 35+ mythics)
-They are printing more new cards a year not less
(about 665 now vs. 630 in most pre-mythic block)
-To drop the value of a rare by $1 a mythic must go up $2
-In a 3 year time span deck prices doubled. I am petitioning for the removal of mythic rarity. Sig this to join the cause.
If it would mean Wizards has access to the Golden Legal Army of Disney and could slay the Reserved List, I for one would welcome our new rodent overlords.
This card also has the distinction of being my least favorite art on a card in the set thus far,... he looks... Out of place to say the least. His face seems to say: "I'm only wearing this outfit because if I don't Niv will eat my family."
Many people have pointed out the high CMC of this card as a bad thing, it just makes the multiples better for using the second ability lol. It should have been a 1/4 so it wouldn't die so easy though. Great in limited, maybe usable in standard.
Oooh, this card is stupidly good for Limited. Both abilities are affordable and awesome, and one literally fuels the other. For Standard, probably a bit too slow, but if UR midrange is a thing, this could be part of it.

Decent. The fact that neither ability has sorcery limit makes it decent. Expensive, sure, but at least for every two turns you can alternately draw or and burn.

So we have a creature which makes pure card-advantage, has a decently sized body to survive for a while, and is also repeatable creature removal, and people complain that they can't shoot it at players too.
This card is really good. First pick in limited easily. Whether it could hit constructed remains to be seen but I think it is possible. If he survives a turn, it's already +1 card advantage.
Drawing 2 cards is a +2 when it's not costing you a card. But yea, I don't see how you ever pass this guy. Arcanis the omnipotent was unbeatable, this guy is close.

Hey just saying if it was part white it'd be at least a 2/4 or a 3/4
i like this card, but Standard is far too fast right now for you to play this on turn 5 and untap with it. I have plenty of games with RUG Ramp where I am casting Thragtusk on turn 4, gaining 5 life, and still don't feel that comfortable with it.
It is often claimed that cards are printed at mythic because the are limited bombs. This card is competing for best limited card in the set.

So that you could pitch and Omniscience at your opponent for 10 Damage on turn 6? Dunno if that would have been prudent on Wizards' part.

In EDH its good but really dependent on a meta light in sweepers; in my meta's I'm usually not the only one loading decks with 4+ sweepers.
if anybody actually plays that...
EDIT: nvm, he's Rare.
I guess he'd be good if they make a "middle-class" variant?
He'll be a funny assistant to Jhoira, if nothing else

Because there's tons of utility removal spells printed at rare?
owait...
You still have to pay this guys mana cost to give Havenful Lich the abilities, you know.
Yeah me too, they stopped it from being broken and made it just really good
Imagine tossing that giant wurm for victories and untapping with some crazy mechanic
