The creature can only be removed from the game if it's in play.

Ach! Hans, run! It's the Rise of the Eldrazi! A card set so horrible it killed the sets most loved mechanics such as landfall and Allies in favor of leveling up creatures and summoning huge things that destroy everything!

That is something i wish i could run away from.

@ IRHennessy , that wouldn't work unless you have the one with out a cost already in your hand, it would only give you one of them, and thus it would die immediately after coming into play (as per the ruling on the cards)

You: "Ach! Hans, Run! It's the Black Lotus!"
Opponent: That's not a creature.
You: Play ____, tap a land
"Yes, it is"

You: "Ach! Hans, Run! It's the little girl!
Opponent: dies laughing

It doesn't really matter what you call in as long as it has trample or it can't be blocked. Plated Slagwurm will just get blocked by a tiny little 1/1. Play this properly, people.

EDIT

@SilverSkyz:

Why exactly do I lose if I block Plated Slagwurm with, say, a Storm Crow??

Since your creatures are going to die at the end of the turn, consider including Rancor to give them that oh so desirable trample- over and over and over.

Of course, Rancor is good in any deck which attacks.

@jemas42 If you bounce the creature you get from this to your hand (and even cast it agin) you keep it.

I once played a Chaos Magic game (like Planechase but with normal Magic cards making the effects) and while this was out was able to continuously call Cerulean Sphinx, attack for 5, then shuffle the card back into my library and repeat the process the next turn. Until someone rolled chaos and "Ach! Hans, Run!" disappeared for another card, that was the only time I ever felt justified having Cerulean Sphinx in my deck. It was definitely the most fun I had with "Ach! Hans, Run!"

Saffi Eriksdotter: "Ach! Hans, Run! It's the People of the Woods--"

Hans: "...but they're nearly harmless, aren't they? Tough, but not very dangerous."

Saffi: "--and they have Doran right behind them!"

Hans: O_O

So, how do you get _____ with this card? Do you have to change its name first, or does it work without?
"Ach! Hans, run! It's the. . . um. . . the . . . underscore-underscore-underscore-underscore . . ."
Hans: "It's the what?"

Per the Unhinged FAQ, http://www.wizards.com/magic/tcg/article.aspx?x=magic/faq/unhinged

___ has no name. You pronounce it by opening your mouth but not saying anything.

Ok..real quick..before the retarded site times me out. This card blows and should never be allowed. How about I design a card that says 'scream banana and win the game'. Funks sake. The card doesnt state how many creatures I can bring out. Sure, it implies singular, but doesnt state it. Technically I can name Shivan Dragon, with four in the deck and bring them all out. Does it STATE I cant? And thats magic. Its like lawyers at play, given LIFO etc. So no. This card looks up at a Hurloon Minotaur from its knees. Stupid gimmick. Kill it off!!!

What happens when you target "Hans, Eriksson" with "Radiate":


"ACH, LOKI-- RUN- it's Hans, the Incredible Hulk!" - Progenitus, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, the Lhurgoyf, the Phyrexian Obliterator, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Dark Depths, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, the Ineffable, Baneslayer Angel, Darksteel Colossus, Morphling, Spiritmonger, Sliver Overlord and everything, all said, at once. O.o

Hans, the Incredible Hulk {R}{R}{R}{G}{G}{G}

Legendary Creature- Giant Beast Warrior Barbarian Berserker Monster

Trample, haste, double strike, rampage #lots#

Whenever Hans, the Incredible Hulk attacks, blocks, is targeted, is dealt damage, or deals damage, destroy target artifact, creature, or land. Put a number of +1/+1 counters on The Incredible Hulk equal to that permanent’s converted mana cost.

{1}: Target Giant Beast Warrior Barbarian Berserker Monster fights everything.

{T}, {Q}: Target player sacrifices a planeswalker. Hans deals damage to that player equal to that planeswalker's converted mana cost.

2/2

Ach! Hans, run! It's the (insert name of your favourite Titan here)!

You get your choice of 6 damage, 4 lands, 4 2/2 Zombie tokens, 2 tapped permanents that don't untap for a while or 2 CMC 3 or less cards from your graveyard. Every turn. As well as a 6/6 for attacking.

Or, you know, Blightsteel Colossus.

Well, someone had to be boring and actually think of practical uses for this card.

@fensrev

No need to ragequit. First off, this card cannot be used in normal magic, its a joke. Secondly, the way its worded means its a triggered ability, meaning it hits once when it says. It also couldn't be interpreted as letting you get multiple creatures because it says "put it into play" not "them." Its not that technical dude you just have to read it carefully. The rules aren't that complicated and the vast majority of cards, especially the modern ones, are clearly worded. AND gatherer is a great resource for clarifying rulings. In conclusion, hate the player, not the game.

It would be fun to have a few of these out at once and use them to summon everything you need for a game-winning combo. For example:
"Ach! Hans Run! It's the Sliver Queen! Ach! Hans Run! It's the Basal Sliver! Ach! Hans Run! It's the Manaweft Sliver! Ach! Hans Run! It's the Blur Sliver!"

Just watch as your opponents roll their eyes.
