This guy is completely ridiculous. In terms of power/difficulty to deal with he may be one of the best 3 drops ever printed... but he is only at his best in an infect deck, but still solid in any other deck!

not to mention he has a bigger badder sword than the Mirran crusader.

This guy's biggest weakness is probably Disfigure. Most other removal can't even touch it.

First strike + wither/infect were made for each other.

Doesn't die to most of the "usual" removal, true, but there are plenty of ways to deal with it.
White has Day of Judgment and Dispense Justice.
Red is mostly out of options unless they grab some artifact support. Pyroclasm does not kill this, since protection prevents damage among other things. The best answer mono-red can do is Leyline of Punishment combined with non-targeting damage from something like Pyroclasm, Slagstorm, or Chain Reaction.
Blue has its full range of lockdown/control change options available.
Green has Hornet Sting if you have two, but otherwise needs support effects like Liquimetal Coating or Flight Spellbomb to be able to use removal spells on it. Or it can do what green does best and force it into combat with a fatty.
Black has lots of options if you ignore Doom Blade ... (see all)

I've never used infect, so I traded it for a strata scythe and livewire lash. Did I make the right move? I'm not so sure...

I pulled a foil version of this and a Mirran Crusader from the same pack. I can't decide what kind of deck to build now. . .
@ nic56:
No, Pongify it, and Unsummon the ape. That way it's on color.
