Considering you can get 1-drop greens with 3 toughness, this wouldn't be *that* difficult to "build around" without really building around it. It is lame that something else getting disfigured kills it though.
Actually, even if the creature would be reduced to 0 or less toughness (say, last-gasp on a skyshroud ridgeback) this guy would die as it would trigger on the state-based effect checking that kills the beast.
So yeah.. nm he sucks.

If you lower it to 2 toughness, it will hunt itself to extinction. Wrap your head around that one.

Well of course its endangered, it has to rely on other big creatures to keep it alive. We live in a survival of the fittest world and this clunky creature won't make if always has to rely on one of its allies.

You should know what I think about non-trampling elephants.

This works fine in a deck that ramps up using land fetch spells and wall of roots / vine trellis type defenders. In that kind of deck you start at a 4/5 for 4 on turn 3 and follow with efficiently costed 5 and 6 drops in the following turns.
One thing to watch out for is that this guy dies to something like a last gasp

Personally i dont think its a very good card due to its ability.

So this elephant gets automatically eaten by Grizzly Bears? What a wimp.

Was probably better back in the day, and decent in limited, especially since it was a common.
