It's a decent Cheaty Face target, but I don't think it's particularly great since it's not particularly fast and can get sniped by instant speed removal and provide zero value. To me this is around the same tier as some other filler Cheaty Face cards like Ancient Stone Idol / Triplicate Titan. While they're not compatible with Natural Order, they work with Tinker and Channel, and are much better with Sneak Attack.
This strikes me like a weird Consecrated Sphinx for the Domain deck. If you found a way to get Scion of Draco and Territorial Kavu working, you'll probably want this. If not, I think it's too much of a stretch because your 5-color decks will otherwise likely be control decks and might want a blocker AND the draw.
I think it’s a pretty strong card for weird cubes that have super high amounts of fixing suitable for a 5 Color deck.
If your going to cheat stuff in, there’s many better targets, but it’s fine as a tier 2.5 target IF it’s also being hardcast a fair amount.
mana cost for mana cost, it’s very strong for 6 mana.
Bit the bullet and got one of these to try. I like it as a big dumb cheaty monster that can be hard cast in a pinch.
Is it the best WUBURG creature? No. Is it's cool, splashy and exciting to my drafters? Yes.
The games it eats instant speed removal will suck, but if it gets to attack once your getting a 3-for-1 pretty easily, and it feels like it spirals from there.
