It's great for keeping pace and getting a creature out there to do some work. Definitely a lot worse things to play first turn -especially if you have little else to play.

The shroud is what really drives this card home.
Against BR aggro, this card it incredibly annoying. Immune to Terminate, as few cards are, and drops before I have any comparable threats. It can trade with the somewhat undercosted Shambling Remains.
It's a good card. The land sacrifice makes it an unpleasant turn 1 play, but it's great nonetheless.

I really want to like this guy, but the only way I'd play him first turn is if I kept a 4 land hand. Maybe a deck with a 50% ratio of lands and a playset of Lost in the Woods?

Green has a lot of good creatures. Among all the one-drops though, this guy is easily in my top 5.

Could you use Simic Guildmage's second ability to move an Aura from something else onto your Scythe Tiger? I ask because that ability does not explicitly "target" the second creature. I just wanted to know if you could cheat a Rancor or Moldervine Cloak onto this.

Flagstones on t2 with this guy seems like a reasonable play for GW cats decks :)
