I really like this card, but it lost a game for me when it summoned barnabus from my hand and nullified the battlecry :(

Ok, this has been a fairly consistent card for me at summoning a big guy that I don't mind giving up the Battlecry or the Choose One effects for. Given that I can do this consistently, do you guys think that this card is viable? My problem has been fitting enough high cost minions into the deck and not dying. The 5/3 usually trades with a medium-size creature. Nobody uses a spell to proc this (well, ok, very rarely). Due to the fact that people don't use removal on this guy, I'd rate this guy as a 4 mana creature (it's like a 5/3 that can't be targeted by spells). That means you're paying 3 mana for a guy that costs 5 or more. Pretty good if you can afford the initial tempo loss, imho. If you can't afford the tempo loss, you're in trouble, though. This is going to be a dead card in your hand if you choose to play other big minions before playing this.
