I suspect the answer is "not much"; but what odd things can be done with this? It's not QUITE equivalent to a wall, it can attack - and if you grant it trample it's actually potentially useful to do so. Or things that care about number of attacking creatures I guess.
Smite etc. can kill it outside of a combat phase; it can't be stopped by Mirror Strike etc. Outmaneuver almost becomes really really funny, but you'd have to attack to get any combat damage dealt anyway so not so useful.
Oooh, it's almost a complete combo with Tattermunge Witch, but the opponent should be able to see it coming. It does let you use her to grant firebreathing before you r attack phase, so then you could use something that cares about power?
Any other stupid stuff people can think of?
I don't know about the rest of the creatures in Magic, but I'm certain this one is not a secret ninja. This guy also makes a poor student of bushido. Sensei Golden-Tail must slap his forehead everytime the bear rushes into combat. I actually wonder if his text should read "When ~ attacks, it becomes blocked", but I guess you lose a bit of the joke in the process.
This is so close to being awesome with Balduvian Warlord or General Jarkeld, but just misses.
Hah. Love it. "No! Bear! You're not becoming blocked, you already ARE blocked! This is not bushido!"
...now I'm wondering if you block a creature that is already blocked, is it becoming blocked?
What is the sound of golden-tail slapping a bear?
