A weak card, could possibly be worth playing without that last line of text.

Who blocks with a 5/4 with haste? Demigod of Revenge is a better and more expen$ive choice for mono-red and Black-red. However, this is a Hellion :)

If you add 1 more to CMC for haste and take 1 for can't block then you get 5/4 for 5Red which sucks hard since I've yet to see much mana mono-red deck.

well seriously, weren't you planning on always sending this into the red zone anyhow?

If you walk without rhythm, you won't attract the Worms. That reference having been made, the flavor seems to rather contradict the blocklessness. Seems like it would be a -great- blocker if everyone freezes up for fear of invoking its wrath. Or at the very least if it can sense the slightest motion and attack.
Oh, and it's weak sauce.

Would have to be 5 or maybe 6 toughness to be worth it.

I used to think this card was the poop. As in good. I thought it was good.

The only card in the game that is both a Hellion and not awesome.

I never really understood what the point of this was. It's an ok cost for its price (5/4 for 6 CMC isn't awful, I guess), and haste is cool, but why can't it block?

I don't see where this would have been unbalanced at 4R, or even 3RR.
