I think Izzet_guild_mage should be put in charge of writing magic rules text... perhaps not just magic rules but all rules.

Oh my...that's...fantastic! It may as well read "Elven Warhounds is Unblockable unless the defending player is at less life than Elven Warhound's power...or you abuse it with Lure."
And thank you, Available, I'm flattered :P

Unblockable+ if you give it trample. It's basically the earliest version (and actually better) than Engulfing Slagwurm. Armadillo Cloak is beautiful here. You get life, blocking doesn't prevent any damage, and he gets big enough to resist burn.
Seems like a very fun equip/enchant creature.

Smart players get suspicious when you summon this. Then they either kill it, or lose the game. (Or you don't have Lure and are a clueless half-wit.) 5/5

With cards like this you have to remember that without Lure effects, they are worse than unblockables. Is a 2/2 unblockable for 4 worth it? Probably not.
That said, if you do have Lure, nemesis mask, etc, this can go really well in a deck with things like Tolarian Entrancer and other "you really, really don't want to block this" cards.

Tempest Block had a lot of great hounds. It had this, Jackal Pup, Dauthi Jackal, Mongrel Pack, and Vampire Hounds. Maybe someone should build a hound tribal deck some time!
