It's an interesting card, but its only real use is in Limited.
3/5

This should have costed a lot less mana. I think at 5 it would be interesting. As is, marmaris74 is exactly correct - it's terrible.
EDIT
@Purplerooster
Flashing this guy in won't work. His ability only triggers when the creatures declare to attack. Flashing him in after will allow you to block, but he will still be a defender. Flashing him in before will just make them not attack which is basically the same as playing him on your turn without flash.
@NoobOfLore
Yes. This guy is colourless so he is not just a crappier version of duskdale wurm. However, they could have made this guy much more interesting. Drawbacks should be worth more than just 2 mana symbols changing to colourless.

Seems kinda disappointing.... A 7/7 trample for 7 has been on curve for a while, and this one has a drawback. I feel like they could have done some more with this that would have made it more interesting, though I guess it works well flavorwise.

It seems this set is full of them - cards with the potential to be loads of fun, but end up being junk rares. There are so many possible tweaks that would have made this card enjoyable to open instead of just completely disheartening, why, Development, why?!?!?
(I like Tower Defender's idea of adding either 'reach' or 'can block an additional creature' - either of those would have made it just right at 7 mana).

Wouldn't put this in any green decks...

It'd be okay in a draft or limited. Colossus of Akros offer so much more for one more mana.

I don't know why this is rated so low. In essence it's a 
7/7 with trample. All they have to do is declare a single attacker. People will attack you eventually, if not the turn after you summon it, just think of it as extended summoning sickness.
I will agree that it would be better and fair as a 
, and it is pretty ridiculous as a rare, but it's at least a 3/5.

If this got another evergreen after being attacked, I don't think that would be too overly broken. Like Vigilance or even Flying.
Also, we should also not forget that this combos hilariously with the Splicers
