I like this card. He has that same effect as a Gomazoa as he nags at the back of your opponents head whenever they are planning an attack.
Plus we need more Scorpions

Big butt deathtouch is godly in limited.
Interesting factoid, Zendikar is home to 2 of the multiverse's 5 varieties of scorpion.

Good in limited. It would have been decent in constructed, but it seems kind of pointless to release it in the same set as the much better Vampire Nighthawk. Okay, Nighthawk is not "strictly better" due to the mana cost, but it's still better in almost any situation.
But this one is common, so it sees more play in Limited. For Limited, this is a very good pick.

Giant Scorpion vs. Pit Scorpion...may the best 3 CMC scorpion win. Too bad there are only five scorpions in the entire game. :(

Attack with this while Raid Bombardment is down for free damage and make sure something dies on the way.

Excellent, excellent stopper. I think this might be a fairly legitimate temporary solution to Phyrexian Obliterator. 1 damage to block and kill it, and a minimal loss of 2 permanents lost, and 2 damage! Sure, there are other factors and stuff, but on his own he's not a bad answer.
And wicked art to boot. If only it wore shady sunglasses.

Nasty little beast. I find it ridiculous when they print things like Daggerback Basilisk because what we want is low power, high toughness deathtouch.

"You can divide this creature's combat damage(...)"
Yeah, great design there Wizards, go ahead and confuse them kids into thinking they can deal fractions of damage to kill multiple creatures.
