Su-Chi!!! This creature gave a lot of problems to Tocasia's young students Urza and Mishra in the novel "The Brothers' War" the first novel of Magic... Many mysteries were held by this creature and an army of 6 Su-Chi's almost ended with the mighty Urza and Mishra and we wouldn't had this amazing story finished! Thanks Su-Chi for begining the amazing artifact race between these two legendary brothers...

This would make a beautiful vertical cycle for a Core Set.
They're all X/X creatures for X mana with essentially no drawback, or even a moderate mana accel.
But they still don't necessarily need to overshadow red, black or blue comparable creatures since they're overall still fragile to shatter effects.

I wan't him, I like the art, Rushy, rush, always making good drawings, and from time,to time overwhelming powerful ones.

@Mode Su-Chi and Cathodion both mess up Blue's color pie, though. Blue isn't allowed to play 3/3's for 3 and 4/4's for 4 without drawbacks (certainly not with benefits), and making artifact creatures that are this efficient messes that up.

@Vorthosian These cards are not blue however. They are artifacts.

Wow. This is amazing! 4 mana 4/4 with a benefit. Not a huge one, but nonetheless. It's not that great anymore since wurmcoil engine is just better, but still, this was and still is really good.

Wow, an old creature that works wonders even today! In a sac deck, this is a miracle.

This actually used to have a risky drawback... you get {4}. Back when you had manaburn to worry about, that might be the same as "replace this with another creature" or the same as "waste a spell or take 4 damage". Obviously much better these days.

Well, the curve has changed already; creatures as good as Wurmcoil Engine are available to all colors. It's fair that blue gets a 4/4 flyer for 4, just like it's fair now for green to get a 4/4 for 3.

Nim Deathmantle for a 6/6 black intimidate that refuses to stay dead.

Don't know why this is rated so low, it's a 4/4 for that no longer has any semblance of a drawback.

Getting 4 colorless mana in your mana pool all of a sudden had very interesting and somewhat frightening stipulations when mana burn existed (which was from the beginning of Magic's existence until 2010). Now that mana burn has been "eliminated" with weird new rules changes, slack-jawed idiots can enjoy Magic: the Gathering as much as they already enjoy other braindead games like Pokemon.
Maybe they'll eliminate the upkeep phase with the next round of unnecessary and unwelcome rules changes.

With mana burn, this was a risk!

Combos with Peach Garden Oath, and Guaca Mole-Worms, as displayed when Steve Brule almost won the 1996 Tournament with his Su-Chi deck.
