I can see this being one awesome general in EDH.
Not that it would win you very much games, I wouldn't think, but it would be hilarious if you could pull it off.

don't know if it's been said yet, but sword of feast and famine can "cheat" this guy into play.
- Precombat, you have 5 lands, all untapped. Sword is already equipped to something.
- Sworded guy connects.
- In response to the sword trigger, tap lands for mana. The lands untap, tap the lands again, flash in jin-gitaxias.
I've never pulled it off because the opponents see it coming a mile away, but one day I will. And it will be glorious.

Opponent reanimates this card. I block him and leave the game. How is that fun at all?

Turn 1. Swamp, Dark Ritual. Cast Putrid Imp. Discarding Jin-Gitaxias to give the imp flying. Exhume. Draw 7 Cards; Discarding 3 Fatties. You may go...
It's been said before but I finally ran him in a large (70 card) deck; if he survives even one round you've basically won.
On a side note; it's crazy but you don't realize how fast you'll go through you're deck until you look down and it's half gone...on turn 5! My favourite Praetor (and I love them ALL!)

I call this guy J.G. Wetworth
J for Jin
G for Gitaxias
Wetworth for the many cost.

Tamiyo, the Moon Sage seems to be made FOR Jin-G.
Wheel of Sun and Moon fixes the "drawback."
Teferi's Puzzle Box during the draw step, Jin-G during your end step, then discard/cleanup step. What you don't discard at the end of your turns, you can still wait to see if you will use on the other players' turns.
Purposefully discarding Worldspine Wurm, Blightsteel Colossus, Darksteel Colossus, Vigor, Guile, Dread, Purity, Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, Kozilek, the Butcher of Truth, Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre, etc. isn't bad at all.
Knight of the Reliquary allows you to grab up Volrath's Stronghold, Academy Ruins, or whatever (you all know this...) to put them to good use with your... (see all)

Damn, never realized this guy was only a 5/4. Guess all the abilities make up for it.
