I think the idea behind this card is that he's better in combat than a 3-toughness creature would normally be because of his on-attack trigger. 3/x creatures can't actually block and kill him, and even your 6/6 only trades. Plus, you never really want to gang block him, since he will usually take down at least two creatures between his trigger and combat damage.
Whoever said that he dies to lightning bolt is right to point that out, but bear in mind that in Onslaught block red's one-mana burn spell was Shock.
Still, not a very exciting way to spend six mana.

Scourge sucked? You suck, and Forgotten Ancient and Sliver Overlord agree.
That's not even one of the sets that ever gets made fun of(Homelands/Kamigawa Block).
This guy is kind of cool/good. Cept the three toughness...

@metalevolence
Sometime I wonder why people judge a card based solely on it's characteristics when it's alone. As Krytnyt says, Horobi makes this guy Kill up to five creatures on attack, Cowardice will bounce most of your opponent's field. Unless we're talking serious legacy, he has his upsides as a control card more than a finisher.
It's like saying "Stuffy Doll is bad because he only does 1 damage per turn to your opponent" while not taking into consideration the combinations of his effects with different cards i.e. Shivan Meteor.

"I play my 6 mana finisher!"
"I play Lightning Bolt."
"..."
^Why cards you expect to end the game for you (and at 6 mana, it better be winning the game) need to have more than three toughness.
