all your suggestions are white or black (difficult land destruction). I have 3 of these and I stick to Red-green land destuction and creature growth. Beat-em down while you slow their mana roll. 3 of these and 2 magnivores continue to get bigger as the game continues.

My friend rolls a {W}{B}{G} land lock deck, and he used this to great effect in a game with me once. I was running a STAX/Land Lock variant, he a simple land lock with Crucible, Strip Mine, Exploration and a few other key cards. We had the board locked for 25 turns without either of us gaining any ground, until he Regrowth'd his second ordeal after Balancing and Twisting me, swinging for around 30 and getting rid of the rest of my library.
Don't get me wrong; a {R}{G} land destruction deck is simple and effective. But {W} and {B} can make a very viable landkill deck as well.
Works really well with any land destruction deck, but look no further than W for its counterpart, Knight of the Reliquary. Instant speed pumps alongside of Wastelanding enemy lands and other combat tricks... amazing way to use this beast.

I like it in a deck with Fluctuator and cycling lands. Get Fluctuator and 3 lands, cycle everything until you hit Terravore, by which point it should be at least a 10/10.

Took people long enough for people to get this guy. He isn't terrible at all. As others have mentioned, he's not bad with Knight of the Reliquary and Armageddon. 4/5
@Magic_Jester: Yes, his power/toughness defining ability functions in all zones. Generally, cards with * for their power or toughness are in effect everywhere, unlike cards that use X.

Synergy with Rites of Spring. I've used this guy as a finisher in a g/r madness deck, works okay.
