This will be very useful with Vizkopa Guildmage alongside it in Limited.

And... what if you did not care about your opponent's life total ? I like these cards that keeps you thinking outside the box.
Throw some blue in your deck and you can get access to Thought Scour, Mind Grind, Consuming Aberration and Psychic Strike. You see where I am going ? If you want to mills the opponent, you won't really care about his life total. And until you win, Alms Beast might be the best blocker you can ever get. If you feel overrunned, just Supreme Verdict everything later on.
That's in that kind of deck I might see him in a while, depending on how Standard develop. Maybe, right now, you'd think you miss some cards to have a really competitive mill deck... but with most players getting HUGE drawing through Sphinx's Revelation, I like the idea that your opponent could help you mills him. I also like the idea that you're opponent's life gain thoug... (see all)

Really great card, despite the particularly masculine features of the brute. Limited games don't have many quick answers for him. His drawback is fascinating, as it seems to buy time for your opponents but actually encourages them to through their defenses at this monster, ultimately leaving them very vulnerable very fast.
Gruul can take advantage of him a bit by bloodrushing a blocker and gaining an insane amount of life from him. Other than that, though, four mana for a 6/6 is bound to dominate the board. If you're worried, slap on a Gift of Orzhova.

LOVE the flavor text. He is perfect in decks with other win conditions then damage. If the board is clear, then he can win the game in 3-4 swings depending.

Superllama12 is right. I mean, it's not that hard to "make it work" per se, but one should seriously consider worst-case scenarios when thinking of using this card.
And the bad scenarios just seem to outweigh the good scenarios for this card.
I'm a fan of undercosted cards that require high risks to reap high rewards, so I'm disappointed to have to "downvote" this card...

Feels bad enough so that beating someone to death with it would be lulz.
Maybe like... soulbond with Wingcrafter. Something that makes you wince when you think about it for too long.

Go figure, there are only two black/white creatures with a power or toughness of 6 and they both cost 4.
Although, admittedly, Voracious Hatchling doesn't get to be big for a little while.

Love this cards! Planning on making a W/B/G deck with it using Kavu Predator but seems like everyone has that idea cause the price of kavu predators just went up.

Potentially quite useful in Limited. Sure, your opponent's gonna gain some life, but it blocks and kills things, then hits him for 6 each turn. Of course, this is pointless in Constructed...
