Surprised no one else has mentioned the reference, so...
"Hunt the Wumpus" is an early computer game first released in text-based form in 1972. The first version with graphics debuted in 1980. The object of the game is, not surprisingly, to shoot the Wumpus as you chase it through a grid of rooms.

This can be pretty good if you have a way of knowing what the opponents have. It also helps if you have removal and want to flush a star creature out of their hand so you don't need to keep saving mana for it. They can refuse to put one in play in such a situation, but if they do that, they gave you a 6/6 for 4. Of course, none of those abilities are very green, so it'd only work in a multicolored deck.

"each other player" includes your teammate in multiplayer games...maybe you could make use of this guy there?
for other use we'll have to wait for a Donate version of Gather Specimens i guess.
or you could also just hope that your opponent neither has fatties nor creatures with shroud in his/her hand, the it'd be worth to consider using this card with Contested Cliffs.

As the green mage played his wumpus, the mono-blue mage cried due to his lack of creatures.

This card is great if your opponent casts it.
"I play my Hunted Wumpus!"
"Okay. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn."
