I found a good home for this guy in my Animar, Soul of Elements EDH deck. It's all based around playing cheap/free creatures and drawing to find more. Enablers: Primordial Sage, Soul of the Harvest, Kavu Lair, Recycle, Glimpse of Nature, Wirewood Savage, Garruk's Packleader, Vedalken Archmage, Fathom Mage or Cloudstone Curio. Of course, so do the other 9 artifact beasts.

Plus, in edh it's great to have a 4 power body in front of you to keep you from being a target and the 2 life only helps you play table politics.

You don't need to do anything silly like donate for this guy to shine, his errata to beast makes him an all-star for me.
