The best thing about him? You can get one for a quarter.

This card is ridiculous, the only problem I've ever had is versus fliers in regards to generating blockers. Even then, you still end up with a pretty heavy fighting force to retaliate with next turn!

Awesome ability, the only ways I can see anyone getting past this guy easily are by killing him outright, or by playing an Exalted deck and paying the 3 mana. At least, if you're playing an aggro deck.

Damn this thing is good.
I'm sure people are going to try to form a mono red control deck with all the goodies red has in standard. At the very least we'll see a heavy red based control using red for their threats instead of simply burn.
We have Kazuul, Obsidian Fireheart, Siege-Gang Commander, Dragonmaster Outcast, Chandra Nalaar and plenty of other high end red threats.
Everflowing Chalice gets them out early and Pilgrim's Eye guarantees you don't miss a land drop.
Mono red would probably be too open to the plethora of removal, but UR control could get big threats out and protect them. And with red there's certainly no shortage of removal with Lightning Bolt, Burst Lightning, Searing Blaze, Volcanic Fallout and etc.
A different option is a RW stax build based around Kazuul... (see all)

great card to drop later on in a game once most red decks have all but stalled out and are depending on top deck wins. 5 outta 5

This saved my ass in my limited games (oddly enough, every sealed tournament I played in I had this guy. I think the cards were telling me to go red every time). He stalls my opponent's attacks so well, or he screws up their tempo if they want to attack me. Whenever I get him, I can stall my opponent long enough before I draw a big bomb like comet storm, and he's got pretty good pow/toughness for his cost.
In standard this guy might show up in red control decks (maybe those running cruel ultimatum?), although I'm not sure how that will go since red isn't known for control.

this looks like a great source of defense in a standard mono-red burn deck. other than plated geopede, with terramorphic expanse to give it its landfall, of course. possible playset? if not probably three? if I'm wrong I won't be surprised, I'm not an expert on magic. but that's just my inference. feedback?

Wow, an incredible card. Basically forces your opponent to blow mana with every attack, or just not attack. If not, those ogres can form an army in no time at all.
