Play this with Accorder's Shield and Darksteel Plate against an Elf multiplication or token deck. Trample means that your opponent needs do block with a lot to avoid taking serious damage. Accorder's Shield: 3 mana, Darksteel Plate: 5 mana, Altar Golem: 7 mana, the expression on your opponent's face when his 120 elves translate into a 120/120 indestructible monster with trample: priceless.

This guy could be neat in a Splicer deck. Each splicer brings 2-3 total creatures into play when you summon it, so they give this guy an extra bonus per card. Plus, the splicers themselves aren't usually doing much besides giving bonuses to golems, so they can sit in the back and tap to keep him attacking.

For this block I suppose it was ok, but really really inferior to Beast of Burden, all you need is a Rancor for him to surpass this card by leaps and bounds

easy way out of tapping 5 creatures you own is by using a Voltiac key.

Rare? Really? This card ruined so many boosters it's not even funny.

1 star cause you can use it as toilet paper.

"Herp derp but you can combo it for infinite tokens"

Yes there is one single card that makes this worth more than toilet paper. Congratulations. Go base an entire deck around it. There's also about 300 cards that can single-handedly stop that combo.

I think I'd rather try to give a Beast of Burden trample than find a way to untap this.
