Well that’s a curve ball to people who thought it was golgari oh and if you read it you will see that it makes serpents each upkeep just like Verdant Force
so for each turn you got atleast one activation and you can target anything so that hoses cabal coffers
Hard to really see where this fits outside EDH. You've really got to do something insane these days to be playable at 7 mana, and this just isn't it, even if it does take over the game given a few turns.
How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
AND THE WORLD SERPENT ENDS UP BEING AN ACTUAL SERPENT SEA MONSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

AHHHHHHHHH THASSA SAVE ME
I can't.
I shant.
I must not can.
Holy damn even even the tokens are Serpent type and will survive my Whelimg Wave loops!
AND THIS MEANS SERPENT TOKENS TOO!
MY beautiful sea monster EDH reaping the wonders of even MORE god worlds
Its effects are really beneficial too! Going to be a great addition to the deck!

I ALWAYS WANTED A SEA MONSTER DRAGON BROODMOTHER!
yep I’m thrilled they remembered it’s a serpent and not a snake
I was worried they'd make it a snake and I would rage.
Am quite pleased I obtain more members of my sea babesh deck. Hope they get a Gishath-like Commander someday soon, and more cards like Quest to cheap them in. Olantin being a sea monster support land would be amazing. A Sea monster sneak attack for example. Sea monsters are UG so the green can confer haste to the narrow tribe and still be fair.
Kinda weird that this is not a SNOW creature , but ok.
Producing a ton of tokens, works fine in casual.
Otherwise it doesnt do enough right away and 7 mana is a hefty investment.
I thought the same. I was hoping it would be a Snow creature too. The art in the PW Guide looks different from this one. Does Koma have any collector alt arts?
Nice to see a big splashy GU card that doesn't have flash or heatproof or ramp or card draw.
Looks cool. And it's nice that it doesn't guarantee value if your opponent has a kill spell ready straight away (Unless you have a serpent already on board to sacrifice...) but is still resilient to justify playing a seven mana card by being immune and generating value and protecting itself as soon as the very next turn.
And this is technically a serpent tribal card too-as you can sacrifice any serpent to it-which is neat.
I love how many good Serpents there are lately. In the past, they were always these feel-bad creatures with rules text like "can't attack unless defending player controls an Island" and stuff. Now there's Verazol, the Split Current, Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait, and this...
Really like this card. Great art and it seems reasonably powerful for its cost, but not broken like some other Simic stuff lately. Definitely going to get one!

It probably has one, like every other legendary creature in the set. Earliest we'll find out is Monday, though, once the Mothership updates with all the weekend previews.

That's what I was thinking as well.
You listed Legendary serpents, which are great recently, but my favorite serpent of all time is Serpent of Yawning Depths
Amazing Serpent. Which makes this and all its tokens unblockable essentially
I don't think anyone has mentioned: it doesn't poison. So what will our poiaon counter card be?
A storyline spotlight depicting Tibalt binding the real Valki with snakes? Or the same thing happening to Tibalt after he inevitably loses?
I'm calling a mistletoe reference if it's not on a Deicide reprint. That, or the thing mentioned in the Planeswalker's Guide where Alrund fought a wolf with poison on its teeth.

Wait, no card draw, no land ramp, just on-board presence for a giant Serpent? No wonder the Elves worship this thing.

Cool card, though. Great art, and does something flavorful but not too expected.
well atleast it’s not as broken as the other simic legends from theros and ikoria
yep I’m thrilled they remembered it’s a serpent and not a snake
Did not disappoint.
I think we all love to see Tiro's reacting to new Octopus/Kraken/Sepent/etc
Definitely one of the best spells in existence.
Anyway...."can't be countered" is always useful.
