@WhiteWizard42 Mistform Ultimus would like to have a word with you snobby changelings.

I think this card is a tad under rated. It is a hill giant in the weaker/est creature colors which is not atrocious (barring the three different mana types needed). It also has an any-color Extort attached that fires only off artifacts but get them on the way out as well. That is pretty good. It lets you fill holes in your tempo and, over time, make a pretty big life total difference. For the low cost of 2 your ornithopter can put a 4 hp gap between you and your foe with just this thing. 3.75/5. The art and flavor of it bump it to 4/5 for me.

Random Fact: This is the only blue insect in existence

Anyway, this guy is fun to use with flicker abilities. Love his design too, kinda like a giant bug stork

EDIT: Aaaaand now we have Beetleform Mage and Woodlot Crawler. Both from the same set! May the insects reign supreme!

Love the effect except for the mana cost. Would love to see more "leaves the battlefield" lords besides this and Vela the Night Clad. Its just an extremely under-represented area and the cards that do exist are just not good enough.
