I used to have this guy in my mono white double strike deck. Equipped with a whispersilk cloak, he can take out 10 life in one swing, while at the same time being shrouded and unblockable (not to mention that any of the other cats being played all of a sudden get a huge boost and double strike as well). Unfortunately, seven mana is he is a little too expensive, and games tended to be over before I could get him into play.
Armament Master pretty much beats him in every way. Sure Double Strike is insane, no doubt about that, but if you look at the two cards' costs, mana cost to mana cost (assuming you're also giving Raksha his ability) Armament has at least worth of equipment he can put on, which could give your Kors a much larger bonus.

Lightning Greaves, Leonin Shikari, Jareth, this is one scarey cat. auto-20 damage with War-Pride out; I've done it, it makes people poop themselves.

this is a legend that truly understands how to motivate the troupes. put him with the new Jedit and see what fun you can have with the big cats

I have a white/blue cat deck. I incorporate a lot of equipment, artifacts and cat creatures into my deck. I've won countless drafts off of Raksha Golden Cub alone. He is what makes my deck so good. Love this card. It is possibly my favourite card I have ever seen. Except for Nyxathid.

Throw in some Leonin Scimitars into a Prototype Portal, then have Raksha team up with Kemba
I love this guy. Makes my kitties absolutely beastly. Especially fun (as others have mentioned) with stuff like Leonin Shikari and Lightning Greaves.

Obviously friends with Kemba, Kha Regent... of course I guess the flavor makes that clear.

The only problem is his cost...he's SO AWESOME otherwise. The centerpiece of my Kitty/Equipment Deck. Usually, by the time I actually get him out though, it's game over one way or another.
Armament Master? Kitty Tribal is so much more appealing that kor tribal.

Seeing "Creature - Legend" on a modern card frame is quite jarring

Too bad he didn't cost less... or reduce the bonus to +1/+1 and drop the cost down to something playable. I guess he'd work in a kitty Commander deck, but still... that's a lot of mana to pay.

Is this like the Sephiroth of cat tribal?

The flavor of him wearing a skullclamp and giving things a boost is kind of amusing. 4/5 Stars
