one of those cards that is awesome until it cops a doomblade to the face, which usually happens as soon as he hits the board.

Well, except that you can save him by playing instants. And you're probably playing blue if you're playing this guy, so a counterspell isn't too far-fetched.

"Shrieking Drake, my friend... shall we choose lands, creatures or artifacts today?"
Also, I believe he looks like Kirk Douglas in his early years :D

awsom card. powerfull for sure, though wether or not it is good is arbitrary. it is very expensive. but if you can keep it in play you will most likely win. very good if you have a compleat lockdoun combo so you can stop them from playing whyle symletainiosly getting rid if evrything they already got out.
edit. extreamly good if you can get multiple out, i just realized it was not legendary.
Probably be sweet with reanimation. Turn 2: Reanimate this guy Turn 3: "Sorry my friend, you can no longer play the game. feel free to keep putting that land down each turn though"
Mix with some dark ritual (as per the usual) and some discard and they'll not only be stuck without permanents early but without cards soon after!

0 cc artifacts count as spells also. I can see this one being played with affinity.

If you cast Ornithopter then his ability will trigger and be placed on the stack before Orni resolves. You will need to return a permanent before Orni hits the board and so will not be able to target it. No infinite Storm unless you have two Ornis.

Generally if someone plays this in EDH, mono blue deck, it's game over if you can't get rid of it. All they really need is to bounce back and forth Sol Ring, Crypts or something or top infinitely to win.

Combine with a beefed-up Animar, Soul of Elements and a Cloudstone Curio to return your opponents' permanents to their hands and build up a storm count (or just get Animar infinitely large and swing).

I like this guy with Forced Fruition. Pick off the threats on their field when you cast a spell and their hand fills up. If they cast a kill spell, fine, they overfill fill their hand and are close to mill at this point.

I miss djinni, ever since they switched the iconic blue flyer to sphinxes. I get that Suleiman's Legacy is a card...but why not have just a block with djinni again? Maybe make them indestructible or destroy red/green permanents as a countermeasure. Just one block...come on Wizards/Hasbro!

Note that it's not a may ability. Be careful after casting Rite of Replication on this creature.
