The only thing that makes this card not strictly worse than Thrun is that Thrun is legendary and therefore dies to Phantasmal Image (and Phyrexian Metamorph). I suppose not needing GG as well, but that's not hard in modern.
0/5, would not play, etc. etc.
@iPot - Packleader only requires power 3 or more, so this interaction does exist. Still wouldn't play it though.

yeah not sure what deck (aside from budget casual) would even want this guy....3/3 for 4. sure he's hexproof but he needs some kind of evasion or regen to make him good

Are you guys kidding? This buy is such a beast. 3 power is perfect - it's like a lightning bolt on a stick. WITH HEXPROOF. You are playing a lightning bolt with hexproof. That means you can't counter it yo - because it's on a stick.
And that three toughness? Bob can't kill it. And look at all those abilities - I mean, there is so much text crammed into this sucker that it can't help but be awesome. This dude is reason enough to unban jace. jace can't kill it.
Lastly, look at the size of those tusks. Damn! They're like jittes only better, cuz they're on a stick. More like a log. Two.
...what were you expecting?

You are right, it is three. Plus I was thinking more of a casual build. The only purpose I see on hexproof guys like this are auras, as they make it so you are less inclined to be 2 for 1nd.
While I kinda like the idea of randomly choosing cards, I really feel like the RNG should be hit until something actually interesting pops up. Our previous ones were Magma Jet which is actually a decent card and Kor Sanctifiers which is outclassed but could potentially see play somewhere maybe. This thing? Not so much.

When you peer long enough through the depths, the depths peer also through you.
{1/5 rating} I believe the card is playa...im sorry thrun was staring me in the face. I dont believe primal huntbeast has anything going for it in truth. But it is a common and fairly good outside of constructed so i cant ever say its a horrible card. Hexproof isnt enough honestly and in my understanding the environment of modern isnt a p/t numbers game. There are no decks that gain anything from this card yet, so i will have to say 1/5 just because i like the card

I don't think anything more needs to be said about this piece of garbage. Trolls trolls trolls. Even Troll Ascetic is infinitely better than this. Honestly, even Garruk's Companion is better than this. Hexproof is great on creatures that matter.

First Printed: M13
Modern Legal Set: M13
Edit:
And by that I mean so it would have some interaction with Garruk's "when a creature w/ 4 or more power etb" guy. Packleader I think it is?

Pretty much this. I think Thrun, the Last Troll is probably just plain better than this guy.

You'd have to ask t_c. I got it from him, and I'm not sure where he gets them. I'm pretty sure it is random, though.

Limited fodder. Overcosted in Constructed. So many cards are better than it:
Tarmogoyf
Silhana Ledgewalker (if you really need something in mono-green to hold Rancor or swords. Aside: have you noticed how similar this is to Invisible Stalker?)
Troll Ascetic
Dungrove Elder
Thrun, the Last Troll
Having only one green in its mana cost makes it "splashable", but with fetches & shocks it could be two green for all it mattered.
When I see something costing 4 mana, I expect it to be on the standard of Restoration Angel. This is not.
