- From a limited perspective, it's pretty bad unless you miraculously get two in your draft. You're breaking the space time continuum if you pull even more. This effect belongs on commons in my opinion. Also misses out in EDH.
- I like the Weird Simic hybrids, but something about this guy just looks derpy. Even the way he uses his claw arms in the cinematic makes me cringe.
- Standard is it's only home and I don't even enjoy it in that. As a rare, it feels lacking.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

This card is great in limited. Darkthicket Wolf is a really good limited card, and this is just a much better version of that. Obviously it's a corner case to get a second, but if you do this is a bomb.
All of these wonky creature type combinations. I bet Monsanto had something to do with this!
Ok, so it's a reinforcement-like ability found on cards like Legion Conquistador, only an activation rather than an ETB. Not much else to see here. Next!

I think this is maybe the best card in the set, at least for standard, i mean this is so much value for just a single card, and as i already described, there are soo many cards and strats, that can make it even Better.
Mr.Crabs will definetly leave a mark in Standard.

If this does catch on, I wonder how much the price might be spiked by the nature of the card demanding that people always play in 4x. A lot of other cards, some people just want one copy for their commander decks, or might only run as a 2- or 3-of in various decks. Even Assassin's Trophy, the top rare in GRN, only averages 2 copies per deck (per mtgtop8). People who want this... will *always* want 4.

It’s been done at rare quite recently- elvish clancaller.
