People just aren't in the market for big dumb beaters anymore. But I think this is way better than that garbage card Desecration Demon that some people cube with. Better cost, can't me meddled with, it can block, it supports 'yard strategies. Much better cube card, IMO.
I like it. It's a big dude. It usually resolves as a 3/3-4/4, and is typically a 5/5 when it first swings. I use it in all three theaters, but it's mainly a fat beater for aggro curve-topping and mid-range decks. It gets scary big when the game goes on. And it has a nice casting cost at 3B.
In a removal/discard heavy deck, I'll target my opponent because their yard will be full. But a lot of the time, I use it to target myself, so I can get cards into my graveyard for Loam/Crucible and reanimation strategies.
