Very cool. I like how it's balanced and useful at most spots along the colour curve. It's a Galvanic Juggernaut with no drawbacks in Karn or Kozilek (a nice reward for jumping through the significant hoops of having a colourless commander); a 5/5 for 5 with a useful keyword ability in monocolour (which you get at rare or mythic but only with other abilities stapled on); a 5/5 for 6 with two useful abilities in two-colour; a random 7-mana dude in tri-color; and a version of Akroma for 9 in Cromat or Child of Alara. I wouldn't play it in tricolour (well, possibly Sharuum), and it'd be a fairly odd five-colour deck that wanted this, but it doesn't seem entirely wrong at any point on that line.
swapping out wither for infect on black
It is a bit odd to me that black gets the only non-evergreen mechanic.
Yeah, after further mulling, I think I'm going with good ol' deathtouch for black.
