Cool Legend name. Not really sure why a Giant needs to Syphon Soul, but still cool.

8 mana does not equal 5/5 trampler + subpar ability. But, then again, he is from Legends.

Hes a solid beatstick with a cool name and a unique ability. Whats not too like, not like most of you have ever played with him anyway.

His CMC needs to be at least

less to be relevant, although Thrull_Champion is right he can be fun in a casual format...

3/5 for art and casual fun, I recall usually having this guy around if the colors fit, at least briefly. Legends is such a stink pit of awesome crap. Love the art.

Sounds like a motorcycle gang member or an 80's heavy metal band lead singer, other than that he's good.

Looks like a spirit giant.

It's a non-vanilla legends legend with an interesting ability, a cool name, and fun artwork. Good enough for me.

if Syphon Souled for damage dealt (Black version of lifelink) then that would be an instant-fix that would make him worth his mana and Legendary status.

In it's time, dang near unstoppable.

I think the easiest way to fix the ability without overpowering him would be to change the damage and life gain from a 1 to the toughness of the creature he killed,

If he were printed today, he would have to have Lifelink and something like "whenever Axelrod Gunnarson deals damage to a creature, you may have him deal that much damage to target player as well" to be relevant rather than that 1 life 1 damage thing =D

So 8 color heavy mana for a 5/5 trampler, and a 2nd ability which kind of blows? This thing is a joke today, but you could compare it with Force of Nature back then.
