Megamorph, the best mechanic name in a long time?

So I had to chuckle a little at reading the new "Megamorph" keyword.
Not only is it outright silly, it's not without it's own sense of irony - adding the impressive "mega" prefix to a lackluster effect.
Sure it's silly; but it's nice to WotC don't take thing too seriously up in their Ivory Tower.
Coming next block:
Ultralifelink: Whenever this creature deal damage, its controller gains that much life +1.
Hyper-haste: You may cast this creature for its Hyper-Haste cost, it gains Haste and +1/+0 until end of turn.
Colossal-Deathtouch: Any creature dealt damage by this creature dies an additional time - because F*k that creature!
Rumored for later:
Super Saiyan-suspend..
and
Giga-Vigilance!
Re-banding: For each creature that this creature bands with, band with a creature that is not banded with another creature.

First thing that came to mind was Rocket-Powered Turbo Slug and its super haste :D

Pretty sure this should be in SRS. Am I right, ChiefBell?

Epic-scry 1: Scry 1. You may look at the top card of your library!
THIS WOULD JUST BE SOOOOO EPIC AND MEGA COOL!
Or, what about GIANT-DEFENDER: Defender. When this creature blocks, it get's +0/+1!

MEGANNIHILATOR! When a creature with Megannihilator attacks, the defending player sacrifices that many permanents AND ALSO THEIR CAT.

I sort of felt the same way about outlast. The entire mechanic is pretty much just tap to get a +1/+1 counter. Other derivative mechanics:
Outlive: Tap to gain 1 life.
Outpower: Tap do deal one damage to an opponent.
Outmaneuver: Tap to gain flying until end of turn.
And remember, only on your turn during your main phase at sorcery speed. Oh, and it will usually come with a hefty mana cost as well.

Waiting for Quadruplestrike to be a thing.
And to add to the Out mechanics...
Outkast 3U: (tap this creature. This card will now sing the chorus of Hey Yah for twenty minutes straight. The turn won't end until it stops singing and will be restarted when interrupted by any noise. Only do this during your turn)
