Giants with 4 toughness and insane drawbacks.

The good ol' days.

Hard to believe this is a rare. Oh well, it's old. The only use I see for this is maybe in a sunburst deck that needs a heavy hitter or a changeling deck. But even then it's really not worth using.

With this restriction it should have cost at least 2 less.

High cost. Bad drawback. Yeah this card makes a great toothpick.

It's a soldier now, so you can cheat it into play with Preeminent Captain.

If he had a positive ability or two, he'd be decent in an Exalted deck. I'm thinking Trample and First Strike.

Exalted deck with Rafiq of the Many? 9/5 double strike, hello!

Horribly bad and reprinted multiple times, which is surprising considering how unplayable this card is.

Rare, trample-less, white Crash of Rhinos with a drawback. At least he's a soldier.

Shock is ten times more playable than this.

8/4 for 8 would be terrible, make the mana cost more restrictive and give him a crushing drawback. That gets you this piece of trash!

I guess their logic was, he could win the game in 2-3 attacks. Which is true if your opponent is a goldfish.

Extremely expensive, frail, and has a drawback. I don't think this was ever very good.

Art's not very good, either, and the name? Ugh.
