Well, you copied sporegorger's IIW, but the card is not very interesting. Besides, Pandas are true bears.

Now this I like. A correct typing, and a grammar lesson all in one? It's amazing! I also love the very creative use of cleave in this instance.

Huh, I like the overall idea, but this seems a little too powerful; we do have lots of high-cost sorceries/instants that are game-winning.

Speaking of which. This is an interesting one, since you can still cast with X=0 and still get some sort of effect, also applies to casting it for free. That's an interesting direction for X spells to take.

IIW: "It belongs in a museum!"
Ah, the coelcanth! I assume this is referencing the discovery of the living coelacanth.

The front side has an interesting set of abilities; usually the exile clause would be on the back side, to prevent it from being perpetually recast from the graveyard. I understand though that the point is to make an interesting play pattern, because otherwise there's little incentive to transform when you can simply recast it as a blocker, whereas as-worded it encourages attacking since successfully transforming it means you get to recast from the graveyard if it dies later.

Right on all fronts, from the reference, to the subtle gameplay loops I'm trying to encourage here. Initially, I gave it first strike and wither, but that seemed too good.

I was gonna read up on the rules for attacking until I saw "noncreature"... ok, fair. A very direct method of keeping something safe, more the put it in the museum than the thing that belongs in it, but still nice.

While I'm ok with losing treasures, I'm not sure if losing a potentially large chunk of my mana base is worth the reward at the end. Maybe instead of making a treasure, you can return a noncreature historic permanent card from your yard if you gained enough life?

Ok, someone else has to enter here. I really don't wanna win a default victory with this entry. I intentionally only made it tangentially related to the prompt to lose points.
