This is fantastic art, definitely the best (and maybe better?) than the original. It is also a very powerful limited card. Pacifism effects are generally 3 mana these days, or have limitations.
Very reasonable reprint, given the environment they're creating with single behemoths stomping over at you. This will be useful in limited and has the flavor we'd expect.
Would have loved an actual creature with mutate that has DEFENDER (but the mutate is so weirdly worded that you cant use it on the opponents stuff, unless they control your cards as its "you own").
But reprint it is, never a bad card, but reprints are as boring as it gets, would love a version with cycling a lot more (or move it around when you cycle or if a creature is mutated move it around, anything really, instead of reprints).
For Limited purposes I guess? Stops a mutate stack, at least.
