Nucleon... you win forever. I don't think anyone can make a better comment than that on any card.

If only that power and toughness were swapped...
Oh, and Nucleon rocks, but that's obvious by now.

@imreallyagoodman The fight mechanic has nothing to do with the attack phase, so he does not tap. If you had a way of giving him haste and caste him in the first main phase he could attack (and be tapped) after this enter the battlefield 'fight' ability had resolved. The enter the battlefield ability goes on the stack, so you could use instants when he fights target creature. You wouldn't be able to equip him until after the fight as this is done at sorcery speed. You should google the 'Fight' keyword mechanic.

@imreallygoodman & @Vishlord
Vishlord is correct that "Fight" does not cause the affected creatures to tap.
Since the obsidian battle-axe grants haste, yes you may attack with Scab-Clan Giant the turn it comes after the axe has been attached.
Actually, while activating an equip effect can only be done at sorcery speed, what obsidian battle-axe's Warrior triggered ability does is bypass the equip restriction and just automatically attaches the battle axe as soon as the Warrior creature enters the battlefield. This does occur "at instant speed" and since you control both the Giant and the Axe you get to choose what order the effects resolve in, meaning that you can have the Axe become attached to the Giant before the Giant's random fight effect resolves so your Giant can fight as a 6/6.

Interesting ability, but the card still sucks outside limited. It's too expensive, and risks doing nothing but killing itself. Not to mention your opponent having a pump spell on hand.

I have a question about this guy that I am hoping to get a little clarification on from the community.
So if he comes into play and "Fights" as a triggered ability, does he not tap?
I am hoping to play him, have Obsidian Battle-Axe attach to him, then have him attack with the provided haste ability during the attack phase.
Any help would be appreciated! :)

It's alright. Chances are it'll squash some unfortunate creature like bug and live through it. Limited only, of course.

I wasn't excited about the random part of the ability (I misread it and assumed I could target, at first... face palm), but after a while, I found it really spiced up my games. Almost got this in play alongside my Species Gorger... that would have been amazing.

If this card comes into play tapped does it still fight? New here don't know the protocols. Thanx for any help provided.

While not a bad card, he has little to no use in constructed. A 4/5 for six is mediocre, and he is a dead card in hand if the only creature they have out is larger than him.
3/5
