Originally, this looked for 3 copies, and copied itself twice. That's both a difficult corner case to achieve, and a lot of damage for to pump out, just because an opponent cast Scatter the Seeds.
So I dropped it to two makes a copy. Oddly, by making the card not crazy, I made it better. Go figure.
Two is a lot of damage to be dealing for a common in NWO. Let's switch to 1, and reduce the cost by . Gangrenous Zombies also deals 1 damage, after all...
Too much haste in the set, and this card seems a little weird when it comes racing at you. So I split the difference between flying and haste and ended up with Intimidate? Meh. You figure it out.
That being said, Intimidate makes this super huge creature even scarier than Haste did. Added a colorless to make up the difference.
Originally said "If it wins the flip". I guess you were playing a game of 'flip the coin' against the War Machine?
Convinced myself otherwise. It's just too big to get on the battlefield with so few hoops. instead, changed 'instant or sorcery' to 'spell, increased the cost and number of cards from 2 to 3 to make up for how much easier that is to do, and changed the final ability to be a shorter negative graveyard sweep, that's at least appropriate to the feel of the card.
This card had one ability too many, so I removed the "If this goes to your graveyard, exile your library, then put your graveyard in your library ability." It was cute, but I don't think it's strictly neccessary. We can already Zombify for incredibly huge creatures. Krosan Cloudscraper didn't cause any problems, at least.
Changed to 'target opponent' and activation so that some common can combo with Ancestor of the Blood Hand.
