What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
Keep in mind
None of the 10,254 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Mark F. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
