The problems I see with this card is that it doesn't do anything the turn it comes down without the likes of something like Rhythm of the Wild, lacks protection, and competes with a lot of other great 5-drops like Cavalier of Thorns, Nissa, Who Shakes the World, and Vivien, Monster's Advocate.
Unchecked, it can take over a game, but it's just too easily answered on or below curve.
It could see play, but I highly doubt it will be as storied as Thragtusk.
