i like it a lot, its a little winmorey, but also isn't. i can get it out very quickly in a lot of different decks, and at that point its ramp, and draw.
I see a lot of its value from how it can help you recover in longer games. After a wrath or your opponent killing off your big creature this can let you draw and ramp back up as well as the free life gain with the mana so you stall out a bit.

Unlike Ghalta this only looks for your single biggest creature, which makes this almost unplayable in a deck full of small creatures.
But its pretty powerful if you can have a single large creature with at least 5+ power to get it out for reasonable amount of mana.
At that point, its just flat out value.
So if your deck can reasonable play this card for 2GG , its a very powerful effect thats almost impossible to beat by the opponent, if they want to play fair.

this is the kind of card that could see play in Modern Affinity / hardened Scales.
Make a single creature huge (like any of the creatures that have p/t equal to artifacts) and go nuts with this.
Being an artifact you can play it with Mystic Forge.

I mean it's total cost is 8, not 15. With a 3/3 you only need to pay 5

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.

7GG=9
So, 6 rather than 5 but it also immediately recoups you GG and if you are able to use that 2 mana towards a creature you get a card out of the deal 2. I'll take a 4/4 Barkhide Visionary any day, even if the first one does cost 4GG
So far I have been hating the power level of this weak set, but I do want one of these. my OG Omnath EDH deck has no trouble at all casting this for GG, and has been sorely lacking in lifegain and draw. I don't play a ton of creatures, but I could easily draw 4-5 cards, plus the ramp is really nice. bad set, good card

T1: Immolating Souleater with a SSG or Gemstone Cavern
T2: Pay 12 life to Souleater cast The Great Henge, tap it to gain back 2 life and GG to cast a Goyf or Scooze that get the +1/+1 counter.
Maybe a Death's Shadow thrown into the mix as well although the lifegain in a nonbo with DS.
Playing since 1994: Currently MAGS (HomeBrew),Standard & Pauper (Pioneer and Modern are degenerate trash formats)

That’s the best part
Lots of of commanders can get to that cost quickly
Not too fond of this in mono green or gruul. Best possible case this will cost 4 mana which is a good rate but compromised by the ackward play pattern threat > ramp.
Given that this dispute slots with Nissa plus the very real risk of beign stuck on yout hand means its unlikely to see play. Only chance truly is Rotting Regisaur in some BG, creature intensive build.
All in all this cycle is obviously not intended to be chase cards for standard. More like cool cards you are happy to play around in junky brews.

animar, soul of elements and Gishath, Sun's Avatar and Mayael the Anima can definatly do it the fastest
