Theoretically, you could play this, attack for a while, and then chump block a fat creature, to prevent it's damage for two turns (once when it block's the creature, and once the next turn when that creature can't attack because it's tapped). In truth, this guy is horrible. Four mana is too much for such one-use-throwaway-creatures.
In other words: this guy is a horrible version of somnophore. Somnophore can do it's job by dealing damage to the player, instead of dying in combat. And that doesn't even need to be combat damage, to have somnophore do it's job. Not to mention that the creature stays tapped for as long as you can protect somnophore, and it can keep several creatures tapped this way at once. Also somnophores art is much better.

In short: play somnophore and forget this guy
