Just needs 1 permanent in play giving him a non-counter toughness boost and the tiger's immune to damage.

When I first started playing magic, I took my tenth edition white+blue(to make 60 cards) starter deck against my friend's old magic deck. This guy was completely obnoxious. Thank goodness for pacifism and condemn. I pretty much always kept cancel open on his third turn just to make sure I deal with this card. If I had that card of course.
Soon after the first few games, I went to the store and bought the elf tribal theme deck from lorwyn. I was so excited to play the mighty Wren's Run Vanquisher on my second turn. On his third turn, phantom tiger came out, and in the attack on my third turn, I learned that deathtouch doesn't work on this guy! After a bit of back and forth play, we were both low on life, and the only creature on the battlefield was a phantom tiger. I was in topdeck mode and drew hunter of eyeblights. Go ahead and read his abilities. Let it be known that I was not happy with my draw. The turn thereafter(I blocked his now 4/3 phantom tiger with my hunter) I drew a land and died to the mighty phantom tiger.
Excellent card. Often underrated.
Where's the happy ending? Well, my next deck ran Pestilence! The twist? The day I ran pestilence, he acquired Phantom Centaurs for his deck. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the "Noo!" echo around the globe.
