Not sure if want.

If THIS is what we will get on emergencies...

MAY GOD SAVE US!

do the target creatures have to be yours? or can they be the opponents? it does say target creatures...
if it is any target creature then this card should be a higher rating.

@allblast no it shouldent cards this expensive should be game breakers, look to the colerless plantium empuriam

Bad, bad, bad card. Unless you manage to get it in without paying for it. Then it's OK.

Looks nice for EDH / Commander, where it's huge casting cost won't be a problem - and you'll be certain to have targets in the game of interest.

I think wotc made them expensive, because you can have them bounce themselves and some other target, and do that each turn. Sure, it's expensive, but it's repeatable bounce that can trigger cards that trigger on creatures entering or leaving the battlefield, and is also a 5/6 flyer when needed.

Not saying it's great, but definately got it's uses in slower formats.

BIG SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

listen up my dudes

give my dude big sweeps 0 stars who the *** you think you are? he aint good in older formats? he's too expensive??

real talk.

One of the best X=8 drops to get in Momir Basic, as it has evasion and will get rid of two of your opponent's creatures. Usually, getting one of these guys spells "Good Game" in that format.

The only appear in casual games, and casual games tend to last LOOOONG.

Consider that Mahamoti Djinn is pretty fairly priced at {4}{U}{U} for a 5/6. For the extra {2}, you're getting a pair of Unsummons.

You guys are all nuts. I Zombify this asshole and then Sakashima the Imposter and Phyrexian Metamorph this guy all day long. Clone Clone Clone, motherfucker. And good god does he look great in foil.

They're actually not that overcosted, but i can see why people don't like it.
Wizard usually doesn't go that linear on cost/efficiency when a card's mana cost passes the total amount of seven.

They simply seem a bit underwhelming as an 8-drop, but as LordRandomness put it:
"Consider that Mahamoti Djinn is pretty fairly priced at for a 5/6.
For the extra , you're getting a pair of Unsummons."
A gradually optional one as well - you won't have to worry about returning some of your own creatures or even the Hoverguards themselves.

The flavor text might even be self-referential to the usefulness of this card:
You'll only be able to cast it in long games, but in that case you'll be in a good position since you bounce your opponents' two biggest threats and get a huge flier.

Oddly enough, this looks like an interesting choice for reanimator nobody seems to have considered yet.

@Lordrandomness: But that's not how magic cards work. You have to wait with this in your hand for two more turns to use it. It's a dead draw for the first seven turns of the game while the Djinn comes out turn six.

This guy works very well in my casual Hypergenesis deck. Play all your other big guys first, let the opponents drop their big guys, then drop Hoverguard and bounce the big guys they were so happy to play for free. The bounce doesn't happen until after Hypergenesis resolves, so they won't be able to replay them. He can even bounce Emrakul, the Aeons Torn.

ITS YA BOY BIG SWEEPS!!! Takin the dudes away from the other dude, puttin em back in hand land!
