I have a hard time imagining a situation where this might be useful.

Well, you can slap auras and equipment on him, and for your opponent he has shroud. Not great, not horrible.

Fun fact: Portal Three Kingdoms was the first set that introduced troll shroud.

what kind of a moron thought entirely rewriting the rules for Portal cards would actually help new players learn to play? honestly, i read and re-read this card's text and it made no sense until i read the Oracle errata giving it Shroud.

How about in a green buff aura deck?

Good ability on a weak body. Pretty nifty art though. I wish this guy was a monk for my monk tribal deck.

Oracle rewording makes me a bit sad. As originally printed this guy's ability was stronger, as for example it dodged Phantasmal Image-type nontargeted selection.

Insert Touhou 13: Ten Desires joke here.

What makes things like this even more fun are umbras. Then your already hard to remove creatures get even harder to remove.
