So green gets a shapeshifter to match blue and
red, eh? Well, Morphling and Torchling were both
great. This has all the old favorites: one to
protect it, one to give it evasion, +1/-1 and
-1/+1, except one BIG difference: this one's a
4/4.
Morphling and Torchling can eat it.

It's Morphling's other cousin! I wonder if this
kind of creature will be even more fun in green
than it was in blue. While it won't much like
being in all the same formats as Path to Exile
until the end of days, blue never had Birds of
Paradise and Blanchwood Armor and Might of Alara
to attack for fifteen damage on the sixth turn!

A beast of beasts. If competition were not so
high on the 5cc spot in aggro green decks, this
would be there. However, there are many options
at 5. Not many as flavorful as this. Nothing
will ever compare to the orginal superman (Morphling
for those newbies out there). However, WOTC came
closer with this version. A pure bomb in
limited.

Constructed:
Another 'shifted' card. It has some very nice
abilities for a green creature. It being Mythic
rare is what Morphling should have been, rarity
wise. It could be used in some green mana ramp
decks.
Casual:
A green fatty with all of these cool abilities.
Will play well in multi-player decks and it is
not Legendary.
Limited:
A real beat stick for green. Good thing it is a
Mythic rare. Very few cards can deal with it.
Used it with some Exalted creatures and have
fun. Sealed deck it is a real fun card. We have
not done the 'new' Sealed deck format yet.
Overall a very good creature with some fantastic
ablities.

This card is a beast in limited, being
indestructibe and all and swinging for game
really quickly, and it's not a bad card in
constructed formats either, well only Standard.
But right now there's so many better green
creatures like Chamelleon Colossus and
Cloudthresher, it is hard to justify putting
this in any deck. So it's not a bad card, but
just out shadowed.
Constructed: 1.5/5, perhaps in some niche deck
this serves a purpose
Casual: 3.5/5
Limited: 4.5/5
