Might work for an Exalted deck.

With Threshold, this little guy can make himself a formiddable 6/6. Not too shabby.

A vigilant creature without vigilance? How ironic...

@HedgeIII, yes it can be a 6/6 a tapped 6/6 which isn't worth much. Maybe it could boost another 3/3 to 6/6 status, but it's a threshold ability. I don't find much value in threshold. Besides decks build around it on purpose of course.

You can declare him as a blocker, then tap him to give himself the boost. So he can block 5/5s all day.

Potentially a 6/6 blocker for 3. That should make it 3 stars IMO. Also, a free giant growth or brute force for 3 and out of color isn't bad. I really think this is a bit underrated.

3.5(almost a 4)/5 from me. I'm guessing this was some powercreepage back in the time.

It could be a 6/6 attacker with his own bonus, too. Give him vigilance without giving him a bonus, attack with him and before damage is dealt, tap him and pump him up. There's a similar comment Stonehewer Giant about the giant's ability.

Mode is half-right, in case you didn't notice. Not only a vigilant creature without vigilance, but a creature without vigilance who needs it badly.
