Some kind of +1/+1 Counter Deck or Zombie Deck otherwise just run Lord of Extinction.

@AXER - While I do agree that you should use LoE, I also feel this guy would be great alongside him in a BUG Mill deck, where you can Glimpse the Unthinkable and buff this guy buy 10/10, or maybe alongside Wrexial, the Risen Deep, where again; you have him getting a massive buff, FOR FREE. Lord of Extinction gets that buff as well, but he doesn't have any other abilities either, whereas this guy can fly over many attackers. Makes me wonder why something as large as Lord of Extiction doesn't have Trample....
I would also say that throwing Sword of Vengeance and Swiftfoot Boots (or some other form of protection) basically makes him the most powerful thing on the board while he gets stronger.

While I agree that LoE has more of a wow factor to it, this not only flies above most counters and defenders swarms decks have, but the counters get to stay even if your opponent uses stuff like Nihil Spellbomb's or Tormod's Crypt's you.

One advantage that this guy has over Lord of Extinction is that if the graveyards get wiped somehow he'll stick around as big as he was before, where Lord wouldn't. Of course, that means you're playing with the kind of jerks that like to exile graveyards.

A magnet for removal, but evasion and the capacity to grow very fast can make it terrifying if it gets going. I once used Traumatize while this was on the field... Yeah, my opponent scooped.

So, I was playing Riku of Two Reflections against The Mimeoplasm. I had around 30 power worth of creatures, all indestructible thanks to my twin Spearbreaker Behemoths, and dropped him to 8 life (against 35). This was the only thing left alive in his board. Then, he topdecked a Traumatize. This became a 38/38, flew past my tapped creatures and ended the game for me.
@Pinto331 Exiling graveyards isn't just for funsies. The reason people do it is because decks that interact with graveyards - if left unchecked - will absolutely demolish everyone. It would be like if there were no removal spells or counterspells. If the green player just ramps up hard and then just play big, fat monster after big, fat monster, you will just get crushed.
I really like the art on this card and it's actually quite powerful. While lord of extinction is better a lot of the time (in terms of P/T), it doesn't have flying or anything of the sort. Since this guy has flying, it won't be chumped as easily and you don't need any support cards for it to be threatening (unless their deck is based around having chump flying blockers).
This card is also an awesome plant zombie. It grows upon anything that dies, and becomes a relentless monster. I'm using it in my horde deck to add fliers to the horde as well as a creature that doesn't immediately mean game over, but will if you leave it there for too long.

TL,DR: this thing is a huge threat, kill it.
