An 8/4 for 8 mana is already mediocre. An 8/4 for 8 mana with a negative effect tacked on is just a kick to the face.

Only good with spawnbroker.

Wizards was way too warry when designing this card back then.
Apparently afraid of creating a big white guy for the lategame, they designed this pitious card of chunk.
Requires double-white, yet has only half the cost's toughness?
Can with 8 mana only be cast in the lategame where such a creature isn't that intimidating anyways, yet has nothing but a huge drawback that prevents the majority of your creatures from attacking?
A creature with a cost that high should actually provide the opposite.

High cost. Bad drawback. Yeah this card makes a great toothpick.

Put in an Exalted Deck, you won't be attacking with more then 1 creature anyway.

Hard to believe this is a rare. Oh well, it's old. The only use I see for this is maybe in a sunburst deck that needs a heavy hitter or a changeling deck. But even then it's really not worth using.

This would be interesting in an exalted deck...
Not good, but interesting.

Maybe good in an Exalted deck, maybe good if your playing against Provoke. Or maybe this card sucks. If I was MTG I woulda used the Coward mechanic with this card.
