For standard play if you can get this card out with any card that makes you sac a creature every turn, "Reya Dawnbringer", and "Kresh the bloodbraided you can get some seriousy strong monsters. just keep bringing back a creature with decent power to strengthen this card then sac it to power up Kresh. you will have 2 super amped up creatures that grow every turn.

He can work well in any red deck, but in a Giant Deck he's insane! Just play a Sunrise Sovereign and you have a 13/13 trampler! Call it a game.

Note that it triggers when ANY creature enters the battlefield, meaning that he'll grow bigger even as your opponents cast their own fatties in response!
btw I really like how the art jokes around with him being a "fatty", and thus shows him being very fat lol.

He gets really big, really fast. But unless you have some way of giving him evasion, he just gets chump-blocked all day long. And then Doom Bladed.

played him in a UR deck and he was a great finisher. the blue helped keep him around and the single Red mana makes him easier to play outside of mono red. Great with cards like unsummon
also like to think the goblins on his back are stoked. "They made fun of us before, calling us small. WELL, WHOSE SMALL NOW!? BAHAHAHA!!"

@Majinara:
If I had a Hamletback at 6/6 when I used Rite of Rep on him kicked, then I would gain 5 more Hamlets all ETB at 6, with each of them getting 4 triggers going on the stack, and the original getting five triggers. You're correct, I'm just making the math cleaner. Since all of the 25 total triggers are controlled by me, I can order them however I want. Since the OG Hamletback is going to get 5 triggers, when the rest gets 4, I'll put him on the stack first, to have the maximum P/T.
HB1 - Sees HB2, 3, 4, and 5.
HB2 - Sees HB1, 3, 4, and 5.
HB3 - Sees HB1, 2, 4, and 5.
HB4 - Sees HB1, 2, 3, and 5.
HB5 - Sees HB1, 2, 3, and 4.
OGHB - Sees HB1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
All of them are 6/6s when HB1 sees the other four, so he only gets 4*6 counters, yielding +24 to make a 30/30 HB1.
HB2 sees HB1 (30) and the other three HBs (6*3) which grants 48 counters, making HB2 a 54/54.
HB3 sees HB1 (30) and HB2 (54) and the other two HBs (6*2) which grants 30+54+12=96 counters. Making HB3 a 102... (see all)
