Debatable. While it fits the theme, 4 mana is above the normal (Vial) curve and tripple white is a heavy investment to hardcast it.

It is another Propaganda for Pillow Fort EDH. While not 'strictly' better than Windborn Muse you get +1/+2 an offensive ability and the protection extends to walkers for the same CMC while being reduced to pay 1 not 2. It is probably going to be the better card in most decks since it can dodge bolt. It is the offensive ability that makes it most interesting. I do not think it will make the cut for Legacy but maybe Hate Bears/D&T in modern could use the extra tax effect?
That is nice flavor for the set.
I'd compare him to Protean Hulk before Ranger of Eos. For one mana more you have a lot more flexibility.
EDIT:
Before someone else points me to it, yes Protean Hulk needs to die first, but creatures like this will only end up in Nic Fit anyway, which has enough sack outlets (Cabal Therapy, Phyrexian Tower, Recurring Nightmare) to trigger it. Protean Hulk isn't played, and this won't either.
I think this card is quite legit - Phantasmal Image for 4GG we have 5 guys 6/5 which 4 have some downsides. Too bad they're not green :/ my bad.
I can't see why people can get excited about this. Isn't PrimeTime just more efficient as wincon for decks that can actually cast it?
The only real application I could see is Food Chaining it with Fierce Empath into Daddy Emrakul:
Cast Bellower, fetch Empath --> grab another copy of Bellower, exile both for 7+4 = 11 mana, cast 2nd Belower (5 mana left), fetch another Empath --> grab Emrakul, exile both creatures again to Food Chain (5 + 11 = 16 mana), hardcast Emrakul, tentaclerape opponent.
I'm no Food Chain player, so I don't know how viable this is compared to the normal plan.
Combo deck with that and just chaining brainstorms and cantrips? :tongue:
Today's cards are all crap. The Angel of Tithes I got fairly excited about even considering the cost. Then I saw the word "untapped" in the text and realized it was absolute crap.
I believe it can be the base of a new storm deck. Maybe mono U storm
