I'm really surprised that this card isn't rated at least 4 stars. Maybe it's not Splinter Twin, but it's quite awesome. In limited, it's practically a bomb. I run 3 of these in a fairly infuriating White & Green Combo Control deck. I love having a vast assortment of 'comes into play' creatures that can make my opponent's life miserable in a variety of different ways. I've found with that deck that my opponents often times just throw in the towel without even taking a single point of damage. It's my 'non-violent' control deck. I don't bother attacking and I tell my opponent "it isn't necesary". Also, I love playing this card, getting scoffed at, and then playing something like Stonehorn Dignitary the following turn and hearing "oooooooooooohhhhhhhh" in a timid voice.
@hot4boys: If you call bouncing an Elvish Visionary every upkeep and playing it back out for a free card every freaking turn "destroying your own boar... (see all)

Anyone rating this sweet Beast down is clearly lacking in imagination. So many ways to break this card, it is a combo generator like nobody's business.
Roaring Primadox + Shriekmaw + Acidic Slime = remove any one permanent per round.

Balanced and fun. Certainly not overpowered, but solid enough in limited and casual. This is just one of those cards that makes me happy because it encourages a bit of creativity and lets me enjoy the red-zone again. I recently added one to my Peasant Cube, and I expect to see some fun things coming from this dude in draft.

Works well with Yeva and creatures whos abilities activate when they come into play.

I used this in the prerelease to great effect, usually with a bond beetle or elvish visionary but once with a thragtusk (and it was glorious!) This is an efficient 4/4 with amazing combo potential with a number of cards in this set, let alone all of those in others. I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see this in a W/G flicker deck.

Combo enabler! Stampeding Wildebeests is still better though (if more cost-intensive).

this card has a lot of potential. Maybe not the most competitive strategy, but it's pretty abusable.
