Turn X: Rage Reflection + Gratuitous Violence + In the Web of War
Turn Y: Nova Chaser + Elemental Mastery
Tap Nova Chaser (it has haste from In the Web of War) to create 12 elementals. Play Thunder-Thrash Elder. Sac the 12 elementals. Thunder-Thrash Elder becomes a 39/39 with Haste, Double Strike, and double damage. Proceed to hit for 156, and get blocked by a 1/1. Whispersilk Cloak might help.

....if you sacrafice 2 creatures....this card comes into play as a +7/+7 for 3 mana......
Am I missing something...?
Why isn't this card considered "omg holy s*** awesome"?

This is a difficult card which I don't pick very high, usually play in my limited (especially Jund) decks and look forward to some awesome combos like with Hissing Iguanar or Rockslide Elemental. Often it turns out a disappointment and the best use it offers is a four mana, 2 card removal via Bone Splinters...

Nest Invader, then this guy = 2/2 and 4/4 for 5.
Kozilek's Predator, then this guy = 3/3 and 7/7 for 7

My topdecking friend sacced three creatures to play this guy. Facing down a 10/10, I was kinda worried! Then I topdecked an Oust.
Needless to say, he was less scary the second time around. My friend took him out of his deck after that...

Getting a +3/+3 bonus for every creature sacrificed is awesome, watching the viashino get killed to removal or chumped block is dreadful. This card is only great if it can somehow gain access to trample via creature/enchantment/spell effect or if the owner has Mercy Killing ready in hand.

What about using Thunder-Thrash Elder in conjunction with Mycoloth? It has worked fairly well for myself - when I have the space to pull the combo off. I've been working out some bugs but I think it is a very potent combination.
