Good in EDH. I guess he's a Giant Gary Machine if you get a couple (same cost and everything). Can't really permanently kill him but [mc]BB5[/c] is a pretty expensive self-gravedigger.

I guess a 2.0 - most decks need a silly 6 drop. There probably is a game winning combo that I am missing (ashen rider!)

So, when this card was first spoiled, someone told me the sacrifice to bring dudes back didn't target, which means you could cycle your Garys.

This is obviously not true.

1.5 - there are many better cards to play than a 6 mana 4/4. I would rather just have another Gary.

The first part is true, the second one isn't: it doesn't target creatures you sacrifice, so you can sacrifice hexproof ones; but it targets cards in the graveyard, so you can't bring back creatures you sacrifice for the ability.

0.5

With the right cards in the deck, against a slow opponent, it might even be correct to board this.
