Since the release of M11, UW control and destructive force/primeval titan decks are both seeing a lot of play.
Sun Titan is quite useful in UW control against destructive force/primeval titan decks.
They get their p titan out and hit all creatures for 5. They kill your Baneslayer Angel, but not your Sun Titan. So if you insist on playing 4 Baneslayers in your UW control deck, you may want to sideboard Sun Titan against the destructive force matchup. Of course, Frost Titan might be better. Depends on what else you are playing in the deck.

@ LiXinjian: He returns permanents to the battlefield, not the hand.
@ iondragonx: Permanents he returns from the grave can't be kicked, as his ability doesn't specifically cast them. It's actually fine though , as they could counter the returned card then, instead of not being able to, as of now.
I don;t use him to combo in the B/W deck I just built, but he recurs fetchlands and Tectonic Edge, so that's just awesome.
If you want a combo, run him with Sword of Vengeance, Stoneforge Mystic, and Kor Outfitter. Get the Sword out, the Outfitter in the grave, and get the Titan out to get a free equip into a haste swing for 8 trampling damage.

He's *AT LEAST* a very powerful recursion in any winnie deck that can afford 2 white mana, not to mention he attacks for six and then blocks... this guy is a freakin wall that gets ur guys back... with allies it's just insane.

Idea: If you play a Spreading Seas on a nonbasic land (take THAT Valakut!) then does that land stay nonbasic? I believe so... :D
If it does, really obvious synergy between this, Spreading Seas, and Tectonic Edge. Spreading Seas them in the early game, Tectonic Edge them in the midgame, and recur both in the late game. Lets you wipe their side of the board of nonbasics (read: most of a modern deck's manabase) and color screw their remaining basic lands as well. And get more card advantage from the returned Spreading Seas!
Extra fun with Contaminated Grounds? Throw in some islandwalkers or swampwalkers (Wrexial?) for added excitement. Esper-control Land Domination deck, sounds entertaining....for the guy playing it!

Ok, worried about drops like Doom Blade or others, just put Whispersilk Cloak on him and there you go.

@DlCK
You can return Ball lightning when the Sun Titan enters the battlefield, but when he attacks, it is too late for the Ball lightning to attack that turn, which is the only one it will be in the battlefield.
@MrBarrelRoll
Spreading Seas doesn't turn that land into a basic land, so you can use your Tectonic Edge on a non-basic land with Spreading Seas. I think the Spreading Seas is not useful here, though. Just use the Tectonic Edge.

Looove Sun Titan. Love him. He's card advantage; plain and simple. And in Scars standard right now, there're plenty of awesome 3 CMC (or less) permanents to dig out with the Titan. Just a few:
*Jace v1 - oh look, I played a 6/6 Titan *and* killed your Jace v2/put out a permanent to draw me 3 cards over 3 turns
*Wall of Omens - snap, 0/4 wall, 6/6 giant and a card from my library for 6 mana
*Cunning Sparkmage - thought you could stop my Basilisk-Mage combo so easily?
*Vampire Hexmage - repeatable PW removal
*Sylvok Replica - repeatable art/ench removal
And that's just one from each colour (true, Replica isn't really green, but if you're not playing green it won't be in your deck ^^). When you consider how many other awesome permanents there are that he can bring back... he's one of the best titans, no questions (unfortunately, it's hard to beat the sheer brokenness of Primeval Titan, or the overwhelming shutdown ability of Frost Titan). Definitely my favourite though, due to his aweso... (see all)

@Cyberium: See every other Titan.
Perfect for Ally decks. Sac and then bring back an Ondu Cleric every turn to gain 4-odd life and buff up your Kazandu Blademaster and Makindi Shieldmate for +1/+1, +2/+2 if you splash red and happen to have a Kazuul Warlord, all for the price of attacking with a 6/6 creature you can then proceed to defend with the next turn. Also good with Tuktuk the Explorer to launch 5/5 cannonballs at your opponent every turn (just make sure not to get a second token when there's one already out, seeing as they're legendary), Eland Umbra to make him never die, Mind Stone for repeatable card draw, Lust for War for repeatable weenie destroy (and lightning bolting); the potential combos are endless with this guy.
