Overbeing of Myth draws you a card every upkeep and grows to match your hand size — two relevant effects stapled onto one five-mana body. The catch is the hybrid cost: you need both blue and green mana, which locks it out of mono-color lists.

Commander is where Overbeing of Myth actually lives — Simic-identity decks have easy access to both colors, and hand-size synergies with commanders like Kruphix, God of Horizons or Teferi's Puzzle Box effects turn it into a threat that scales out of control. In Legacy and Vintage it's a five-mana 0/0 that asks too much in formats that end games before it gets going, so it sees no real play there. Modern likewise ignores it; five-mana do-nothings-until-next-turn don't survive the format's efficient removal long enough to recoup the investment.
