This card is just plain awful. Horrible cost that bites you even if you don't pay it, the effect is just a slightly misplaced miniature combat phase.. On top of that, the grass around its legs means two things, barring the existence of stupidly tall grass; This gorilla isn't that large (And certainly not 'gargantuan'), and its legs are far too hilariously short to carry it. And not even some nifty flavor text to try to save it =(

Those aren't blades of grass, they're green flames of gargantuan destruction!
Its not that bad, 7/7 for 4GGG is fair, but yes the land sacking blows unless you use this in some sort of combo. The Magus of the Arena effect cool, and can take out their big guys possibly to allow your weenies/elves whatever to get through. 3/5

It seems like they first put up the rulings (it can target itself) and then changed the oracle wording to "another target creature". The ruling should change I guess.
The rulings say that it can target itself with its ability, but the Oracle wording clearly says "another" target creature, meaning not itself. No other card with the word "another" can affect itself with its own ability, so why can this?

FFS! Read the rulings! It says so there! Unlike 'fight', if the gorilla leaves the battlefield before the ability resolves, damage is still dealt - whereas with the 'fight' ability, it isn't
