Iwamori of the Open Fist  1GG
Legendary Creature - Human Monk  
Trample
When Iwamori of the Open Fist comes into play, each opponent may put a legendary creature card from his or her hand into play.
5/5

Is this not really good? It virtually has no drawback in any format other than Kamigawa block constructed. This is the most aggressively costed creature that has no drawback other than legendary status. This would come down on turn 2 in Mono-green LD.

Actually it costs 2GG, making it just another bad Juzám remake...

You have the mana cost incorrect. It actually costs {2}{G}{G}, putting it in the same league as Blastoderm, Hunted Wumpus, or Emperor Crocodile. Among them, I think it is possibly the best of the lot. Its drawback is definitely less strict than Hunted Wumpus's and unlike any of the others, it has trample. Although it is Legendary, which could be annoying from time to time, it is also a 5/5 creature, which means that it shouldn't take too longer after it hits the table for you to win. There should not be enough time to draw into a second one.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Okay, it was listed as 1GG at the time that I made my post, wierdly enough. I only made this post because I saw the change in mana costs, as I have been following the spoiler, I know it was listed as 2GG before.

Last time I checked, Oath ran two legendary creatures in Akroma and Spirit of the Night which they would not mind dropping into play from their hand.  What deck is this guy going to fit in?  He is green.  Not an artifact that can be played off Workshop.  

I probably like big dumb green creatures as much as the next guy but unfortunatly they are not playable right now.  On a design note, it is nice to see R&D actually making some decent aggro creatures these days.
