Interesting card imo.
Not much of a threat without paying ~4 life, but in an agressive shell against a non-agressive deck, has potential to grow very large and still payoff huge if killed.
Synergies with cards like verdurous gearhulk, 3 mana nissa etc.
Passes the vindicate test if you wait unitl you have 5+ mana to cast it.
I think that life cost is very steep, but I think I actually prefer this guy to most alternatives at 4 (that aren't already Nekrataal variants or Braids). I think it's worth a test. I like it's simply a "leaves the battlefield" trigger and not a "dies".
The life cost is steep, but this guy is spicy. I almost feel like I want to treat this as a 5+cc creature though, since it is so vulnerable at 4 mana and fails the removal test miserably if you can't untap with it. But with 5-7 mana available, it's a more formidable body when it resolves, and it'll guarantee you some value. I think it's a miss at 540, but I do think the card's solid.
