thats a useless ability if it taps . . . (well not totally useless, but defeats the purpose)

{edit} maybe not as bad as i thought, seeing it has defender.

You block, then activate the ability, making it 1 7/8 blocker before damage. Seems useful to me.

Well it costs 5 times as much as Loyal Sentry, and it can be burnt out just as easily. And it can't even block effectively for one turn, because it's summoning sick. Meh, seems fine.

Also, I'm curious about the use of Echo here, because you can't effectively play this until turn three (if you play it turn 2 with only two mana available it will die on your next upkeep). So this is effectively a mana cost of 6. It actually seems a little underpowered.

I killed the echo.

Awesome with Vanish into Memory, and pretty sweet too with Greater Good and Momentous Fall. Also becomes a powerhouse with Captain of the Watch, Mobilization, or Serra's Blessing, since you can attack without tapping, and then tap it to pump it up with +7/+7.

It has defender, so the bolded use actually can't be done.

Those are two other awesome interactions it would have in EDH.

Whoops. Sometimes my Johnny-aspect overtakes the better of my senses ;(

It could lose defender with Warmonger's Chariot.
