What I love about him is that he's useful both mid and late game.

It's green. You can get this out turn four, and have him pumped in turn six. A great addition in a ramp deck.

Cool as heck, if only somewhat functional in duels.

I'd say great in limited.

FYI: If you're playing this guy you're PROBABLY playing green. 4/4 for 5 is only barely below the curve. Even though it'll be rotated out soon, you can still do arbor elf + verdant haven + Farseek ramp for a short while for very fast ramp. If you're already doing other land ramp (Into the Wilds looks like a contender), he fits in perfectly at a very affordable rarity.
Not a card to build around, but a card to put into a deck looking for just this sort of thing.
And, @infernox10, a 4/4 for 5 is more than acceptable in draft, gets around quite a bit of damage and -1/-1 removal. So long as he doesn't get doom bladed, he causes quite a bit of wreckage even before going super saiyan.

Just and observation:
There's no land ramp in this set.
I would have loved this card soooo much more in Limited if they had it.
Guess I'll settle with an 8/8 Trample on T8. :P

A little too situational for my tastes

He's ok in limited, mostly because a 4/4 for five is still acceptable, though more often than not he won't become 8/8 or die before or the moment he does.
For constructed, he is too slow.

5/5 is about on curve for a 5 mana green creature, so a 4/4 needs a pretty good ability to make it playable. Does Woodborn Behemoth pass this test? In short, yes — so long as you're playing with more than two people. In a duel this won't pull its weight, but in EDH (among other multiplayer formats) it can easily be an 8/8 trample before anyone even thinks of killing it.
