I thought a good comparison is Noxious Gearhulk as that's also a 6 drop Menace that does what this card will do a large majority of the time, which is kill a creature. Sure it's in two colors, but the upsides of being bigger, having trample to make blocks even more annoying, having the option to hit literally anything and also having the threat of turning into a end-game beater and hitting another target is just great.
The front half is especially good if you have equipment and the opponent has like a Wurmcoil Engine or Batterskull in the way that would stop your win right there as it gives you a guaranteed way to connect.
You literally don't have to bounce it or anything..just cast the card, become immune and draw endless cards.
Tap it immediately, then tap it in response to the upkeep trigger and you're drawing two extra cards a turn. I've seen it in play enough already to know that your opponent will die before you do.
Very solid uncommon. It also reminds me of Pelakka Wurm, another very solid uncommon, back when I was drafting Rise of the Eldrazi when it first came out.
We drafted Pelakka Wurms so much that it earned a permanent retirement home slot in our cube..love that card.
This card is slightly weaker in that it probably will never gain as much life as the wurm, and doesn't give you a card back when it dies, but Scrying is always nice and it's easier to cast, so there's that.

Yeah that's what I meant my brain was just working backwards there.

Just think about that, on top of the fact that she is already insane for aggro.

You stop that now.

These champions make no sense.
