The main thing holding this back is that it's a
Giant, but Giant decks are usually about one or
two big creatures in play while this scales
better with a large army. Persist is nice,
but you can't really plan it's second coming to
take full advantage of the fury it stokes with
its CIP ability. It's also pretty small
for a Giant, as well as for any creature that
costs 3RR.

I'm waiting for someone to break this guy in a
red deck that makes lots of tokens. If you have
enough tokens on the board, your opponent is
dead if this guy gets his effect off twice,
which is not that hard because he has persist.
Unfortunately, he costs 5 mana, so he's kind of
slow, and therefore probably won't get played
very much.
In limited, play this. It only lasts for a turn
(or two if they kill this guy), but that turn
can win you the game, and if it doesn't, he
might be able to pull off his trick again, and
you get a 3/3 in the meantime.

This guy goes well with lots of creature tokens,
like those from Mogg War Marshal or Siege-Gang
Commander (though if you had him, you don't need
another creature to shoot at your opponent).
When you pull it off, it's spectacular... and
when you don't, it's spectacularly bad. In
limited play, he's another good way to break
creature standoffs and a creature that's hard to
kill - a solid if not entirely spectacular play.
