I always called this card Engulfing Elephants. In fact, it should be called that.

It's not terrible though. Not great either.

I love casting this over and over in MTG: Battlegrounds.
Also, there was really no reason to not print this in Innistrad instead of Geistflame. They must have totally forgot about it and redesigned it.

@Baconradar: It's not strictly better. Geistflame can hit players.

Ironic because most elephants are 3/3s that don't regenerate anyways.

@kryptnyt: the card gets exiled when you use the flashback, so how do you use it more than twice?

@Kryptnyt
Geistflame is much more flavorful; and I though Innistrad was a pretty appealing set as a vorthos.
Also, Innistrad was at about the time when they decided Regeneration wasn't really strong or abundant enough to be hosed as much as is it is.
