Creatures type should really be both Hound and Golem, not just Hound, since is was printed as Golem.

Were they going somewhere with this, or is it just another completely useless card?

Combos with Shape Anew, but there surely must be something better for that.

For those times when you want to match your opponent's measly Wurmcoil Engine with a mighty dog made out of leashes.

Pre-M10, it could at least stack 3 damage against a creature before bouncing.

If it did something interesting, the return-to-hand effect would be worthwhile, but as-is, it's overcosted 3/3 creature. Not worth the mana, not worth losing a card.

Explanation for flavor text: Some dude (Igort) got in trouble because his pet was off of a leash. So, he had an Izzet make him a pet MADE of leashes.

4/5 Just because of that flavor text. Now Igor's dog can never be off it's leash.

It's one and only positive effect is that you can keep from milling out with it.

Got to give this card at least one star since Miracle showed up...

Not like this could be exploitable in a mass draw, and miracle deck or anything.

The activation cost is interesting. But why would i want to bounce a Hill Giant at the cost of card disadvantage, particularly at the cost of six mana?
The only narrow use i could imagine with this is Skill Borrower. But even then the effect you get from activating the ability is an inconvenience, so you have to put something on top that Skill Borrower can make use of immediately, like Griselbrand.

Back when combat damage went on the stack, you could use this guy to trade in combat and then, essentially, guarantee that your next draw would be a 3/3. For 6.
Hey, it's not a great creature, but you're nearly guaranteed to have access to a 3/3 for the rest of the game, which is a decently-sized creature in limited.
