Well, I managed to pull two of these from a fat pack (along with another mythic, Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver, which I would've preferred to pull two of, but...) I've had a chance to play with it. Maybe not good enough to be a mythic, but I like the idea of having a 5/5 out as soon as third turn. I've got Plasm Capture in this deck so I can wait and use the monstrosity ability later after I've countered a high-cost spell, then putting that mana into the ability to thin out the herd on somebody else's board. It doesn't trample, but that's why there's Overrun.

You don't have to try and use him to take out anything big, just take out something like a 1/1 or a 2/2. Then he just gets a little more beefy. Give him trample and when he is around a 7/7 or 8/8. An ability without a drawback just means he is a straight up 4/4 for 5, which is pretty good, but you can use him especially to take out a small, evasive creature with flying or unblockable, AND you can beef him up a little while your at it.

Even when you don't use his ability he's a 5/5 for 4.

I don't like green. It's my least favorite color of the five. This really makes me want to play green.
Seriously, it's a one-sided boardwipe on a stick. He holds down the fort pretty well beforehand, too. Pair him with Nykthos, Shire to Nyx and ramp.

@ Steaditup
Im sure that was the plan. I know when I drop a 5/5 for four, I attack with it. Especially since you can legitimately drop it turn 3 after a turn 2 Bow with a little Elvish Mystic action.
Really, you only need to pay 2G to kill two creatures that way.
