Double strike bestow creature. I knew we would see one eventually, and this one's solid.

Id double strike on bestow really worth six mana?
Yes. With how big creatures get in Theros, it was absolutely necessary to make the bestow cost so expensive. Great curve after Centaur Battlemaster, a 7/7 double striker turn sic is devastating in limited.

The Quad-striker. Strikes twice as an aura and twice by itself.

Awesome, six manna is a bit rough, but this girly is going straight into my ethereal armor hopeful eidalon deck

My Uril Commander deck is looking good with this new set.

Not only does this grant a powerful bestow support for the expensive price of 6 mana, but this is actually a very good bestow target. If your deck is centered around bestow, you can put this as an early creature, and start putting bestow on it. Anything is generally better with double strike.

I think this isn't as good as most people in the comment section make it out to be. for +1/+1 and double strike is expensive, even if you get a 1/1 double striker out of it after it dies, which isn't that amazing to cast for either, unless you have a lot of ways to buff your creatures otherwise.

As many know by now: I'm a Limited player. I was really on the fence about this guy. He seems absurd in some senses but downright awful in others. However, my verdict, after playing with it and some soul-searching: This guy is BONKERS. In Theros, Bestow creatures were meant to give your other creatures some big pants to wear so you can go to town on your opponent. They did a damn decent job. In Born of the Gods, however, they made Bestow creatures that can WEAR the pants. Then, if you top-deck these powerhouses in the lategame, you actually have a use for it. Flitterstep Eidolon is one such pants-bearer, as is this one.
