This is pretty good. If he is blocked he is 6/6 if not the defender loses 4 life. Not a masticore but close enough.4.5/5

What a worthless excuse for a card. He makes me discard during my upkeep (losing card advantage), no one in their right mind would block him (unless thay have first strike), he has no attack power, so he's just a wall. An unavoidable loss of life is cool in some situations, but I can think of dozens of cards I would field before this douche.

Put a cloak of confusion on it. When unblocked it causes 4 lifeloss and random discard, and if blocked it's a 6/6 trampler for 4. Or a farrel's mantle, then it can shock a creature each turn. Or play it with a delif's cube. :)
@ Azymth: you obviously didn't read the card.

Pretty bizarre. The life loss is probably there as a defense against the Circles of Protection, which ran rampant in Magic's early years. And if you did try to block him, he'd mess your creatures up. That discarding thing is kind of annoying/pointless, though. Nowadays, he wouldn't have that and would probably have protection from white. :P

I just got a few for my RB Haakon deck today. Not only can he dump the haakon for you, but once he is out this guy can actually become a card draw engine by never paying his upkeep cost and then returning him back to play. Maybe not the most efficient way to draw cards, but the fact that he can also beat face fairly well means you get some extra functionality out of him.

I think this is a fantastic and well designed card.

ME: Attack with This guy
MATE: Block with my 3/3... take 3 damage...
ME: Hang on...Brute Force...Double Cleave
MATE: *SAD FACE*
Even just giving him some double strike ability is nuts especially if you run it in a reanimator deck with Haakon, Stromgald Scourge

Gatherer says this guy is from Alliances, so where is his expansion symbol?!
