I accidently just 2 main phases, one PRE-COMBAT, one POST-COMBAT. Awesome flavor text, better than meets the eye ability, and he's so ripped that you could make a bunch of weak little guys, MAYBE EVEN FREE MEMNITES?!, then use berserk or downhill charge. Then Fling. I am show example.
T1, Forest, Bird of Paradise.
T2, Mountain, Bird of Paradise.
T3, Mountain, Ornithopter, Paradise Mantle
T4, Forest, Maraxus of Keld. He's a 1/1.... let's just hope he doesn't die right?
T5, Mountain, Maraxus of Keld is currently a 9/9. 7+5 = 12, so you have 2 more cards in hand. Assuming you drew one each turn. Now is not the time to strike! But you hit them anyway because you're amazed by how good he's doing so far.
T6, 3 cards in hand. This is where things get crazy. Maraxus is at 9/9 still. All of a sudden.... you tap a forest. He becomes 8/8. You cast berserk. He becom... (see all)

Without that horrible nerf ruling, he would be sooo decent. As he is right now, is overpriced. Well played, WotC, 10/10, would rage again.
Without that errata you could play some phyrexian walkers and some artifact lands and pump him up nicely. As it is, however, he´s just not worth it on... pretty much any deck? maybe a exalted deck? but at that mana, there are just so many better things out there.

Just finished Artifacts Cycle II. loved it! :D Idea for a card that should have been in Future Sight so badly :P
Krieg, Witch-King of Keld
Legendary Creature- Mutant Warrior Barbarian Berserker From Hell (Mythic Rare)
Trample, Double Strike, Haste, + this guy's ability
Creatures that enter the battlefield from the graveyard have trample, double strike, haste, and bloodthirst 35.

Dear God... I'm pretty sure muscles don't work that way. That's the kind of anatomy you find on *** fan art.

I can remember opening a Weatherlight-Booster as a 12 year old and to find him in the rare-slot. Back then I didn´t know that Rares even existed. :-) But never the less I was fascinated of this muscle packet bodybuilder. And the flavor text absolutly rocks!

most powerful in a Bant+red deck.

So if you tap everything on the field, he collapses in on himself? What a bizarre effect. Kinda puts all your eggs in one basket... Very versatile to power up though, and you can pretty much use it as a wild card in any deck that relies on effects like these. Still cracks me up that he just -explodes- if you have all your resources working at once though.

Something like a combination of Dakkon Blackblade and Keldon Warlord seems to be what they were going for. They should've given him 1+* like the Lhurgoyf, or at least given him vigilance so that he doesn't suddenly become a 0/0 by attacking. That's just silly.

Most peculiar...I'm just not sure what to think about this...
