This has got to be one of the worst cards ever printed. I would want a refund if this was my rare in the pack.

it's like giving your biggest creature trample and not risking it! nice!

It's very flavorful, but poor execution. I guess that could be said about the entire Prophecy set.

I think the idea is to tap many creatures, creating a huge, disposable trampler. could work pretty well, too.

Hmm... one of the times I'd opt for Simic Ragworm over Horseshoe Crab.

Play this, then tap all your creatures and play Rite of Consumption.

Play him. Tap all of your other creatures. Then him (thus doubling his power). Play Berserk to double his power again. Then Rite of Consumption.

With one other large creature coupled with a a voltaic key or two, and you got a BEAST.

The only problem for it is that it is boltable...

Give him vigilance. Tap your creatures, attack with him, and then tap him to double his attack power.

Still not that great. If you didn't have to sacrifice him after he attacks, he might actually be worthwhile though.

It's interesting with batterskull, because you can tap the batterskull+token to add +4/0, equip this guy with the batterskull, attack, and tap him to bring him up to a 16/7 with lifelink and trample.

Of course, the fact that both this guy and batterskull both cost really shows how weak this card is, or perhaps how strong batterskull is.

Fling.

Just because no one had mentioned it yet. And beware of opponent's Meglonoth, Kaervek's Purge, Agonizing Demise (with kicker), Delirium, ...

Back then this would have been an interesting rare. Now its just weak, but still a neat way to win.

Throw him into an Exalted deck. Laugh manically.

Goes great in my Brion Stoutarm EDH. At the end of turn right before my untap, I can tap every creature I have besides Brion, then tap the Battlewagon itself to double its power, and then fling for huge damage. About the only time I would use this card though.

I know Elemental Mastery/Intruder Alarm is already infinite, but this has got to one of the crazier cards to plug into that combo.

Voltaic Construct seems perfect here, too.
Or just drop a Phyrexian Dreadnought.
