Will this see play outside of limited? My answer is yes, it should. This card has plenty of awesome targets. It kills Noble Hierarch and its brood, kills your opponent's spawn dudes, and wastes opponent's second turns if you went first and they're trying to level-up Student of Warfare or Joraga Treespeaker. Utterly STEALS their turn and accelerates your mana. That isn't something to overlook.
Note that if this weren't instant-speed it would be crap.

You're right Selez. I'm rarely disappointed to start with a couple of these. Great for ruining Green's 1 toughness mana ramp creatures.

You wanna ramp, Birds of Paradise? No *I* wanna ramp! Go away! Pew pew!

Not perfect and manages to come in handy more often than not.

Here's a question, use this on a Soul's Attendant. Does the player gain a life or does the spell kill the creature before the token comes in to play?

Yea, I really wish this cost 1. There are no one-drop token producers, and in an Eldrazi ramp deck this is competing with Nest Invader, Overgrown Battlement, or leveling up your Joraga Treespeaker at the 2-mana slot. I guess they just didn't want you to be able to get a turn 2 Hand of Emrakul

used to dislike this, until i reallised all the fun and options this has. Shoot your opponents tactical one drop, and get ready for brood birthing Or shoot one and chump block in a pinch. FUN

The odd thing is that in limited, given the choice between this and Brood Birthing, id take the later 9 times out of 10. But in a constructed, i'd take this card over Brood Birthing any day

At least you can put it on a stick

@rsyd: yes soul's attendant's ability would trigger since it would be put into a graveyard after spawning breath resolves which means the eldrazi token would enter into play

Target your own Precursor Golem and his two buddies, and you have Brood Birthing at instant speed!

I shoot your dude to make a dude. Take that, Llanowar Elves! Next turn I play Broodwarden. Suddenly, bear.

"suddenly, bear."
Possibly the greatest surprise.

Turn 3 Hand of Emrakul is less of a surprise than bears? Weird...

I honestly think this card should have had {2}{R} flashback.

I'm pretty sure this is the card that my friends used to refer to as the "Flaming ***". Think about it. AND it creates spawn. Just saying.

Edit: I'm disappointed that this site censors the word v a gina. Seriously?
