The four toughness makes the totem armor redundant in most combat situations, so it's really only useful for removal insurance. Eel Umbra is probably what you want in that case, though, as it's instant speed.

This would be funny on Mr. Doran.

This and Valakut Boar? I'm totally running those at my release party! Maybe even a Goblin Tunneler to follow through with.

This makes a creature very hard to kill. There are much better things to play, but in a world with no other totem armor auras, I think this would be a great card.

Probably the least of the Totem Armor cards, but still playable in it's own right.

Acutally, the fact that this is the only totem armor which gives no power could certainly be useful if you use it right. For example,
Even if your opponent manages to get whatever wimpy creature you cast Lust For War on to above 5 power the very next turn (or another 5/? creature down), which isn't particularly likely on Turn 4, this combo still nets you 6 damage to him and 8 life for you. Using any other Totem Armor, you're liable to kill the preferably 1/1 creature the first time you block it, ending the combo as soon as it started.

Very useful with Zur the Enchanter.
"Oh yeah, you know how whenever my 1/4 attacks, I get an aura? Well, now that 1/4 is a 1/8. Have fun killing him."
