See Challenge # 137.
While I guess you could throw some combat tricks onto to buff it, isn't this basically "

,
: Deal 2 damage to target attacking or blocking creature." Unless you think that the ability is powerful enough that it needs to be nerfed, being a creature makes it easier to remove than a land. Oh, I orgot fight deals damage back to you, so that makes htis extra vulnerable.
It's still a 2/2, technically (and you can activate it outside of combat, which is kind of awkward.) But, so is Mishra's Factory, I suppose.
Can you activate it without a target?
Oh, whoops, no you can not. Also, you can never attack with it (though, you could block... but only if you found a way to untap it.) I guess that limits what you can do with the card considerably.
Interesting. At 2 toughness, this will almost always die, which basically makes it a land that sacrifices for its effect.
Which seems fine given Blighted Gorge.
