Would have been a nice limited card for Mirran Metalcraft Decks. Too bad it's Phyrexian >.>

Two creatures for two mana. Awesome for sacrifice or metalcraft decks.

The art on this guy is awesome...

Also, I plan to use him with culling dias and Psychosis crawler.

You're distracted by the big shell... Then the little one comes out and own you!!! Well, probably not, but it would be a commical sight.

Two for the price of one! Not so great by those merits, but it is useful for things like Vivisect. Essentially a 1/1 with an extra life. Very cool.

2 turns of chump blocking with 1 card.
Someone somewhere somehow will find a way to make this awesome.
But for now, I don't think the stats live up to the art.

Throne of Geth, also a great artifact to sacrifice to things like Piston Sledge (equip cost) and Kuldotha Rebirth. Versatile in that it enables creature sacrificing (Culling Dais) and artifact sacrificing in the same card, and has recursion for chump blocking!

Has some nice synergy with Skullclamp, but then again, what doesn't?

This is like the smallest possible version of a Sprouting Thrinax.

You know what is it's name in spanish??? MISTER MYR ._.

Really. The spanish-english literal translation is MISTE MYR. Making an effort, it could be MYR LORD. But roughly! And neither that is a good name considering what the card does.

Creo que hay una argentina en el departamento de traducciones. Le pregunto a ella: ¿cómo se les ocurrió traducir MYR SIRE como SEÑOR MYR? o_O

This is my argument for why Mimic Vat should have been a Phyrexian Card. See the Flavor Text.

I'm a big fan of this guy. Like Kazar said, it's a colorless Tukatongue Thallid, and any card that replaces itself is good in my book. Even though combat-wise it's only worth chump blocking, it still does that admirably for two turns. Great in Limited, and has applications in Constructed, even - he's got decent combo potential for sacrifice and/or reanimation decks.

Myr reservoir should have been Phyrexian

I love using this in my Tempered Steel deck! (^_^)b It's nice, because I still get something, even after it dies.(Unless of course, it's exiled...) So I really don't lose much advantage from playing it.

A fairly cheap two for one. The stats are weak, but hey, it's already a two for one for 2 Colorless. That's plenty fair. And it's MYR!!! That has to be worth something!

If the token was black it would be Penumbra Myr. as it is it is just good for metalcraft and tempered steel decks as proof against removal.

Dear Wizards:
Please stop printing cards with must-trigger abilities for us to memorize. Thanks.

Other than that, a really solid card.

I really, REALLY wish this guy had been a 2/2. I mean, look at him. He's got a 1/1 inside of him, so he HAS to be bigger than that >.>

Overall disappointed with this card. Sure, he can be extremely useful, but the art-to-P/T ratio is so off it drives me crazy every time I look at it.

On the flip side though, he is probably the absolute COOLEST looking Myr ever printed.

The art on this thing is amazing. It looks massive, and radiates with power. It should have been some kind of giant, mythic rarity Myr Overlord type thing.

Pregnant Myr here has some nasty green tricks with Innistrad.

One is Parallel Lives, making two or more 1/1 Myr stuck inside its belly (at best, quintuplets)

The other is Essence Of The Wilds, making the token a 6/6. That's just Myrder.

@Splizer: 2^4 = 16, not 5.

It's a 2/2 for 2, how is that bad? Sure the P/T is split between two creatures, but you get value off of a wrath.

The Pyrexians made a Necron, interesting.
