tl;dr Huntmaster will see play in sideboard, rarely mainboard, and if you disagree, sig this and feel free to rub it in my face when the time comes. 'Cause I want him to be maindeckable.
Hell, pod this into Reaper from the Abyss to end up with two 6-powered beaters that probably killed your opponent's biggest threat. #iftitansdidntexist
I guess I'm going to be holding onto those Flashfreezes. Honestly not a big fan, since it seems boring to me (a big creature that gets bigger and can block after attacking... doesn't strike me as feeling very interesting) and just seems to be the next in a list of cards that scream "play nothing but creatures." Of course that's hyperbole, but it's not looking like this is going to be a good couple months for people who aren't playing LotsOfBigOrFastCreatures.dec.

I think that its going to be a pod target and very little else , 3 greens is a bit much to be plaaying in anything but a mono green deck

Trolling can be defined as "A art, one specifically designed to misdirect, anger, or confuse others by reporting meaningful information in a clear, coherent way."
One day I will go infinate on a token combo then drop Scramble verse and watch as the trolling begins. That day will be a good day.

I admittedly don't play standard, but is it really that bad? This seems like a great play considering it removes all but one Titan easily?
All in all, I'm very excited about the card. It's boring and could have been a rare, but I've given up on caring about that. All I know is this card is really green, and has great art and is worth playing, and apparently has awesome synergy with pod and a sweet demon.

This card is insane in Dungrove.dec and Pod decks, I'd expect it to see significant play in standard and people who say otherwise have no clue what they are talking about.
Yeah, just worried about it being the same cost as Garruk, Primal Hunter. In a mono green beats deck, I will probably want to cap out at 5 mana and probably only 3 cards at that level....options options.

considering that in the months since inn released i have never seen dungrove.dec and the only pod deck iv seen was my own at FNM i think significant might be the wrong word for it

He could be talking about the almost mono green version of Wolf Run Ramp that ran Dungroves, it was the cutting edge for about a fortnight and then vanished into near nothingness as the metagame evolved away from it.
Gotta love the classic solid-green beat-stick... partially because they're just sooo loveable, dont'cha think? This fella reminds me a lot of Weatherseed Treefolk and Kodama of the North Tree.
Wait a sec... might just have to build a green beaters deck with all three of them... talk about a continuous headache.
The one interesting thought I have is if this guy is a Mythic, does that mean if we were to give todays rarity's to the cards in the past, Weatherseed Treefolk and Kodama of the North Tree would most likely be Mythic rares?
My first thought was: why is there a giant centipede in Innistrad? Why would the be oversized bugs in Vampire-Werewolf-Zombie-gothic-horror land?
That aside, it seems like a good card in standard (although to be honest I don't currently play the standard meta, so I can't be sure). In of itself it does seem a little overpowered, but I think it should have been rare; I dunno, it just doesn't feel mythic to me.
Now as an EDH card, me likey lots I wanna have it.

even in and of its self, 3 green to play meens it can have a little bit more power since its harder to hard cast outside of mono green....it was the same way with phyrexian oblitorator, people cried about having 5 power trample AND a powerful effect for 4, but that was 4 black making it unplayable outside of mono black

It doesn't fit into WRR. WRR doesn't have any open slots, and it won't remove Thrun for this. MAYBE it could play one for a GSZ target.
I don't know if Pod wants to use waste a spot on this either. It would rather have Acidic Slime or Archon of Justice most of the time. It is notably able to block Hero of Bladehold and survive to Pod though.
It's pretty good in Heartless Summoning decks, but getting GGG on turn 3 might be kind of tough.
Has this been proved legit?
Very big creature indeed, and again with some color pie mesh up if you pass me the term... Isn't vigilance pretty much white?
as much as i like the combination of mechanics, garruk, primal hunter just gives you a better investment for the mana. poor timing to be printed for this card.
gotta remember mirran is going to cycle in less than a year, eventually all the oppresive stuff from scars like nihil, ratchet bomb and crusaiders will be gone and we will be stuck with whats in inn and hook

7. Sometimes Your 'Good Deck' Isn't
Frankly, i dont see this being very good in standard unless mono-green stompy/ramp becomes a deck, due to titans, don't think it has enough utility for the pod decks, maybe in the sb or 1 main vs doj.
i dont see how people cant say this isnt a good utility for pod. Granted i have a pretty full 5 drop slot as it is but thats like saying wurmcoil isnt a good utility for pod. With this you pod your 5 drop into a titan (or a wurmcoil, see what i did thar?) and end up with 2 6 power creatures and the ability to pod into another of your titans or to pod into your norn (or w/e other 7 drop your going for)
honestly outside of a deck where artifacts or enchants are an issue i dont think slime is quite making the cut anymore since he has 2 toughness and thus dies to every form of removal save gutshot. even the new mythic wolf kills him. then what are you left with?

I really like this guy for pod because while 3 green can be pretty demanding, i have rarely ever found a problem getting it turn 5 due to mana dorks and mana fixing through solemn and emissary. The 5 drop slot is typically one of the weakest for pod i feel, so having this as a one of will be solid as a strong beater by itself and great against weenies. He is pretty versatile, and as a 1 of i think he will be very effective.

Vorapede - Wurmcoil - Norn leaves you with 2 5/5s a 4/7, and an 8/7, not too shabby!
For my meta this will be a 1-of in pod or 4-of in green stompy, it gets really wacky here so what ever you can think of most likely will happen, I see it as an efficient fatty and for alot of people who want to play there own deck its perfect.

very sick with Pod, great on its own. so happy about this thing. i love big dumb creatures, i just wish they'd print stuff like this in BLACK!
And we have Elder, pod into Thrun, pod into this, next turn play another Thrun, pod into Titan.
Actually the Undying ability being in Green would make Smallpox viable except for the deep color costs which would screw you in the current standard.
