What is this card? A 7/7 for FOUR MANA!? It can be an early addition, and probably the most powerful thing on the field when it came about. But beyond meta flavour, it is an absolute beast. 7/7!? You need to attack each turn; it's continued presence implies its continued aggression, in fact, it is a fundamental part of it. You can't think of this without it being aggressive. It attacks a random opponent; they did what, exactly, to deserve this? The aggression may prove to be it's downside, in the end. Finally, there is a hint of diplomacy; if you're into EDH politics, you hedge a bet with each of the players, and for whoever does not get attack, it usually pays off. Related, having a grudge or an alliance with someone else is just not realistic; best just stick it our for yourself. Oh, and it is also the colours of the American flag...

He's the commander of my "Group Thug" deck... it's like the Pheldagrif deck, except instead of helping everyone, it just hurts and helps everyone randomly. Prosperity, Angel's Trumpet, Invasion Plans, Soldevi Sentry. You don't play to win, you play to completely destroy any stalemate.

When I first made a deck with this guy, I looked into stuff like Gustcloak Savior, Reconnaissance or Maze of Ith.
Then I realized; this guy's an early game 7/7. I boost his power even a little, make him unblockable, and give him double strike, and he can easily hit the level of being able to take out opponents in a single swipe. Don't hold him back from attacking; just make sure he's damn near impossible to successfully block.
So now I use things like Steel of the Godhead, Battle Mastery, and Clout of the Dominus.
Those three alone make him an 11/11 lifelink shroud haste double strike that can't be blocked.
