I love throwing Dust Corona and Shiv's Embrace on this guy.
Unblockable firebreathing double strike... gg :3

Even though both negative stats ( Spinal Parasite ) and double-strike + fire-breathing (Dragon Tyrant) have been done before this card is still so unique.

You'd think they'd add a reminder text to clarify what happens if he hits with -1 power.
Because it's not like this is a common thing to have on a creature.
(Although in fact it's not the only one to have a negative power.)
I'm pretty sure there have been some kitchen table debates about him already; where players wondered if he could increase an opponent's life, or a blocking creature's defense. (He doesn't, he'll simply deal no damage.)
As a reference, here are the rules about negative numbers:
104.1b Most of the time, the Magic game uses only positive numbers. You can’t choose a negative number, deal negative damage, gain negative life, and so on. However, it’s possible for a game value, such as a creature’s power, to be less than zero. If a calculation or comparison that would determine the result of an effect needs to use a negative value, it does so. If such a calculation yields a negative number, zero is used instead, unless... (see all)

@ Paleopaladin Sorry, but you can only equip creatures you control.
