Awakening of Vitu-Ghazi
Oracle Text
Put nine +1/+1 counters on target land you control. It becomes a legendary 0/0 Elemental creature with haste named Vitu-Ghazi. It's still a land.

wait a 9/9 for 5 (argeubly 6) with flash and haste?
how is this not OP?
i think it's time to admit it guys
powercreep has arrived
OP? I don't see it. A vanilla 9/9 is really nothing to be cheering about. No trample or other evasive ability, and when they contempt your Super-Tree you lose a land too
However, the fact that it is an instant is very interesting. You can hold your 5 mana to smash a blocker before swinging back or surprise the control deck EoT. Also the fact that it is a land gets around random "nonland" removal effects.
I think its good. I would bet it will see play (Hell, I bet I'LL play it), but I don't think it's going to be breaking the format.... like every Teferi card (creature OR planeswalker) that hasnt been printed in a planeswalker deck.
Not that this has any real effect on gameplay, just sort of curious.
