This is an unusual drawback. Pretty clever, seeing as people hopefully will have a hard time getting through the beef.

I could see this being played in sideboards.

Hey, does anyone remember that one movie where the ancient bad-guy summons up a sandstorm with his face in it, and uses it to attack the heroes who are in a bi-plane?
Because i do.

Here, let me fix that for you.
"When you're dealt combat damage, sacrifice Swarmborn Giant, then Scavenge with Varolz on your next turn."

I would have liked him a lot better if he had no monstrosity ability, but instead had vigilance and reach. Though he might have to be rare then.

Even if you do swing with him on turn 5. If he gets through, he is 1 mana cheaper, and 1 damage stronger lava axe, even if it does die to unblocked damage.
If he lives longer than that, it's a pretty big threat.
Begs to be launched with Messenger's Speed on turn 5.
I want 4.

Shouldn't it have been an Insect Giant, if I got the flavor right?

If this wasn't a 6/6 for CMC 4, it'd go straight in the trash. The monstrous ability stinks because you're pay 10 for an 8/8 with reach that dies to unblocked combat damage. This is a glorified Wall. Would be 10x better if it had vigilance.

@Trygon_Predator: It's not an Insect for the same reason that Grave Titan is not a Zombie.
