The flavour text is definately among my favourites, alongside Null Rod and Canyon Minotaur.
The lack of trample is a little disappointing but that aside this guy is the very epitomy of green to me.
I don't think you can really knock a vanilla 7/7 for 7CMC, but this guy is definately a lot better when used in conjuction with Brawn and/or Mighty Emergence.

This and Craw Wurm gave me my first big thrill in the first game of Magic I played. I mean... look at that 7/7! I've learned better since then, but there's always special fun in playing huge 
creatures. Nowadays, though, Vorstclaw is usually a better choice.

Its diet consists of fruits, plants, small woodland animals, large woodland animals, woodlands, fruit groves, fruit farmers, and small cities.
Yeah, I ain't gonna mess with that.

Got this in the starter pack and loved the art. Even played him a few times back when I ran BG. He's very mediocre in most situations. Needs trample to be remotely effective, but gets the job done. {I R BIG GREEN MEENY}

I like this card. Hoping for a reprint at common in M14!

Awesome art and the card just makes you want to throw it into decks even though you know better. I think what it is, the number 6, and the 7/7 body. Makes him look better then what he is, its a psychology thing kinda like .99 cents.

Gets a 3/5 for me for nice art and great pseudo-Discovery channel flavour text, and being one of those cards that appeals to newer players because it's BIG. However, in my experience, there's just no place for vanilla creatures of any size in EDH, or really in any deck that isn't being used to teach people the rules and process of the game(I might cast a big beast like this on turn 3-5 after a successful ramp just to demonstrate the advantage of ramping).

This is hands-down my favorite flavor text. Ever.
