An interesting card, it represents a shapeshifter quite well...however it costs too much to have much of an impact...

I'm just glad Darth Vader (in the background) had an opportunity to exist in the Magic universe. I'm also surprised to learn that he is a shapeshifter.

As for the card, badly overcosted by today's standards, though I love the wonky toughness (7 - *) Yeah for math!

(According to the oracle text)

"Okay, at the beginning of my upkeep, I choose... 7.
...No, wait! I take it back!"


As for the card, I like the concept, but... As said, it's a little too costly to be very effective.
Here are the options of it's stats -

1/6
2/5
3/4
4/3
5/2
6/1

Although you have versatility, none are that great for 6 mana, even if you can change it every upkeep. I guess it could be useful when the opponent has no blockers - you could turn it into a 6/1, and when you need a wall, you could turn it into a 1/6. Cool flavor anyways, and it was probably not such a bad card back when it was printed.
