Sweet card, sweet effect. If this doesn't significantly effect the board for whatever reason it could definitively be advantageous to wait for another Forest or two to maximize the value.

What, you don't remember the Greek myth about the many headed WTF monster?

This guy is really just a try hard. Only Mistform Ultimus can be everything!

...I guess Changelings can be everything, too.

Why is this not a Chimera? It is the most Chimeriest of all the Chimeras.

I like how it's crouching down on its back legs like it's about to start a race.

I like the escaped trained circus bear standing on his back legs next to him.

I like the trees. Trees are pretty.

I have absolutely no idea what the card does because the art is too distracting. I hope it's good, I'd love to see this show up in articles for a while.

Beast tribal receiving some love. This could make a cool pauper EDH general (uncommon general all common deck)

I have absolutely no idea what is going on in this art. Are those all its heads? Is it carrying animals on its back? If so, which one is its head? Are those other two waiting for a lift? Is this the Nessian Game Bus? What is an egg? Show me an egg! That's not an egg! Who let you in here?

Sweet art(a little confusing, but still cool looking), and a decent ability make me want to play this. He seems pretty good.

The full art shows what's going on here -- it's wearing a bunch of decapitated heads like a giant Carmen Miranda hat.

The art is....odd to be sure, but that effect is AMAZING! Lemme just dig a couple cards into my deck to find ANOTHER FATTY. While being a 4/5 for 5 cmc is not breaking any size records the fact that he replaces himself with another (hopefully relevant) creature is great for keeping the gas going.

Very playable even if it's effect is a complete miss - see Snake of the Golden Grove - and it doesn't miss very often. Very satisfying to cast this in 2nd main after my Fleetfeather C0ckatrice got Griptideed...

Oh come on. 3.8? This is 4/5 draw a card for 5! Hell, green is usually creature-based, in which case this is -better- than 4/5 draw a card for 5.

I think this is probably a reference to the Argus, a many-eyed giant of a creature that guarded the nymph Io. In this case, it certainly looks like a big creature, and it's probably got a lot of eyes, with all those heads.

Solid 5. Here's why:

-The art is a fantastic medley of thematic green and Theros block flavor.

-The CMC and ETB make this card powerful and highly playable in creature-based green decks without being broken or "must-have."

-More tutor options are always welcome in EDH.

-At uncommon, in a recent set, it's not hard to obtain.

Its a card that offers high value, on theme, with amazing art. What more do you want?

Not everything in Theros has to be based on greek mythology. I really like cards like these that are actually original. It's really nice when people use some creativity when creating settings instead of just copying real-world mythology.
