Kozilek is too epic to be resized.

On a related note, the colorless card border = awesome. Eye of Ugin is still teh suxxorz. Giant fatty is not playable unless we get more cards that will let us cheat in Eldrazi (and still get his "Draw Four" effect, so something that lets us play him for cheap or free and not just "put it into play")

Summoning Trap into Iona or Sphinx of I-Win will be better 90% of the time imo. It also costs 6 instead of 10. And is instant speed.

What if you're not playing against blue? Hard casting summoner's trap seems hardly worth it due to the random nature of the card. And waiting to get countered is card disadvantage whereas ramping to this huge freak nets you 3 cards and you should win next turn...

Apparently the haven't been acquainted with the popularity of summoning trap decks. I saw a handful at states and Anthony's been our local player, he got 3rd at the Standard tourney back in January.

I know, but your talking about Summoning Trap as if it's worthless if you don't get to cast it for free. Try staring at a Sphinx of the Steel Wind on the other side of the table turn 5 when playing Jund. Doesn't end well.

No, I'm saying Iona can't name colorless so this guy is better across the table from summoning trap.deck
