Can sacrifice itself for six mana to shuffle an opposing creature or planeswalker into its owner's library; best defending in slower decks.

More

Pick-Two
The removal ability requires six mana and sacrificing this creature. It is not a two-mana removal spell just because the creature costs two.
Sealed vs Draft
It can be an early body, then an answer later. Using the removal ability costs six mana and gives up the body; it can block before being sacrificed.
Two-Headed Giant
The effect still has its printed number of targets. Two opponents do not turn a single-target spell into two answers.
