Hah, this guy can actually annoy the hell out of oponnents in limited. Prerelease, I was playing against a Green Trample deck. Hes has three Yavimaya Wurms down. No sweat, if he swings, I block with this, toughness soaks three of the damage, lifegain replinishes the other three, the Aura-pumped Sun Titan thats holding as vanguard of the deck brings him back by attacking next turn(I couldn't afford to block with the titan, as my Gideon's Lawkeeper was keeping his Onyx Mage from surprise-deathtouching his creatures)

This guy may not be overwhelmingly powerful, but man, I definitely prefer this to goldenglow moth. I'll take repeated 3-life boons over a single 4-life infusion any day.
Not really sure why the moth is rated higher, to be honest. This guy has triple the durability!
@ Holy Cause: Perimeter Captain is definitely the better card of the two, but I'd be tempted to play this alongside him just for the fun of it; "Oh, you're swinging with your Pelakka Wurm? Okay, I'll chump block with my Pride Guardian and gain, oh, 7 life."

Nice variation on Wall of Wood. And you got to love the art.

Not the best one cost white card.....but a great early game blocker which allows you atleast to set up a nice defence and hopefully some life.....works well with Righteousness .

Does anyone think this, Perimeter Captain, Wall of Omens, etc, along with Felidar Soveriegn would be a neat casual deck?

I find this and Ghostly Possession to be an excellent combo. Throw in a Mask of Avacyn in for extra measure to give yourself a near indestructible defender that allows you to gain three life every time it blocks.

I actually put 4 of these in a budget 
control deck. I must say, it did a fantastic job at holding back the tides of aggro, and buying time for my deck to bear fruit.
