When I got this guy, I was amazed how overpowered he was for only THREE green mana! I haven't seen another 4/5 for only 3 mana so far (haven't been playing long).

I currently run two of these guys in my mono-green ramp deck, so they're out quickly dealing lots of damage to the enemy player - I use a lot of single mana elves and creatures in my ramp deck, along with a few Bloodscent, so I'll probably have a couple of elves and the leatherback out already and make the enemy block the smaller creatures. In 5 turns I had my opponent down to only 3 health through this strategy and only had two leatherbacks and a handful of elves on the table.

A good, cheap 4/5 creature is a good creature.

A nobrainer for any monogreen deck. 3 cmc for a 4/5? Too cool.

turn 3 played leatherback baloth, turn four played a second leatherback baloth =D - attacked for 4, turn five a branchwood armor attacked all out--he couldn't do anything so i threw a kicked vines of vastwood on them and nailed him for 17 damage, easy win.

And I thought Ball Lightning was good for its cost!

That said, My mono-green deck doesn't use this guy. I'd rather have a Greenseeker Druid on turn 2 than this guy, and then drop a 6-cost baloth on turn 3. Then again, my deck has 12 creatures that cost 6 or 7...

I love fat for cheap. Four of these would seriously upgrade my green deck.
