Troll Shroud makes this very playable, regular shroud would have made it basically worthless (looking at you Kalonian Behemoth) It probably should have trample, but it's an easy enough ability to grant in green.

I've been playing magic since the Oddysey block. Nothing ever made me win more than this card until Zendikar of course. I have a beast deck, elf deck, snake deck, zombie deck, wither deck but nothing ever came close to the love I have for this card. I'll never sell!!

CMC is a little high, but an 8/8 shroud that you can still beef up with your spells is well worth it in my opinion.

i have a deck with four of them and i cosider them a Boss Card cuz unless my opponent counters it, i play it and put regeneration and mythic proportions(+8+8 & trample enchant creature) on it and it is pretty much invincible. but even wrath of god cant kill it right? i mean that would be a spell ur opponent controls right?

Killer of opponent.
I hate this card every time my opponent plays it...

Played a multiplayer game where a buddy ramped perfectly into this on turn 4. My Mana Leak made him die a little inside, I think.

The only reason to use this creature is if you are running a Wurm deck.
Kalonian Behemoth has the same ability, same cost, but is a 9/9 (and is a Beast - better tribe IMO).
Also more versatile in a multicolored deck because only requires 2 instead of 3
