First for S E C R E T T E C H

I never called it a staple, but the number of ways Swarm Intelligence is better than this makes me said.

It is two colors, so that's a benefit sometimes. And nothing will take away the memories of casting Beck // Call twice with this thing.

>9 mana
>4 colors
>make 8 flying 1/1's and draw 16 cards
I'd play it

Based wurm of running away.

Or Snake Basket, Living Wall, Endless One, hell, all X/Fetch in colorless...any color deck I make becomes colorless.

Here is more obsolescence. Never ran it, but often considered it.

Twelve, but yeah, I loved it. That and Obzedat's Aid and Putrefy and all kinds of stuff. 7 mana winmore, do nothing enchantment. My favorite.

Least it has good art.

Living Wall
Library of Leng
Wall of Spears
Yotian Soldier
Royal Assassin

My group got smart. I used to run this guy all the time and he was a blowout. People would keep sacrificing creatures over and over again, making it huge, filling me with glee, and then, someone realized that if they don't sacrifice anything, it doesn't get any bigger.

Now I run him in exactly two decks Meren and Mimeoplasm. There are two particularly spicy plays with him: 1)overwhelming stampede/pathbreaker ibex for a bunch of +6/+6 buffs on the cheap, particularly with a blighted agent out, or 2) slap triumph of the horde down and laugh your way to the bank.
