Legions rare. This card is a good example of names that hint at a much deeper story waiting to be told. Cards with names as long as five or more words are historically quite rare. During Kamigawa some names got so long that some cards had to have their casting costs reconsidered to make room for all the letters! (For example, 3 ManaRed ManaRed Mana takes up less space than 2 ManaRed ManaRed ManaRed Mana.) Under such extreme circumstances, such a change would only be made if the name was particularly good and the new mana cost would have (or already had been) considered reasonable.
