Man, I'm still sleepy. I read this as "horde of transvestites".
On the card itself though, I like it and it is definitely mythic, though it will cause a lot of rules headaches (Wizards customer support desk will inevitably get a call from a guy with an EDH deck supporting this, Opalescence and Humility.) Characteristic-defining, "when ETB" and "as ETB" abilities are the worst. Will this kill Boneyard Wurm? Will this allow me to cast Simic Initiate without it dying? Will this allow me to bounce your creature when I cast Aether Adept?
I think that a 5/5 without deathtouch and trample would be ok, even if it lessens its ability to attack.
I gave it deathtouch and trample because that is a travesty of design. It's meta.
See rule 614.12 for Simic Initiate (there is no graft, so it dies), and 611.3c for Aether Adept (it won't trigger), and rule 613.1 for Boneyard Wurm (Horde of Travesties's layer 6 effect applies before Boneyard Wurm's layer 7 effect has the chance to apply). At least, I think that is what it is.
