When is it worth it when you have to potentially kill one of your own creatures just to play something that can die to Incinerate? I imagine if Vigor was in the battlefield it would make sense, but other than him I can't think of that many other creatures that would have good synergy with this moloch.
So there are probably more interactions than people think, but nevertheless pretty slim pickings. Still, I think this is a mediocre rather than horrible card. Obviously not tournament-viable, but you could probably make some funky casual deck using it.

If you want his ability, chances are you want Spiteful Bully instead.
