Hill Giant Herdgorger enters as a 7/6 and gains you 7 life — that's a massive stat line stapled to a meaningful life buffer, all for six mana. It's a role-player in lifegain-matters decks, not a generic green beater worth a slot anywhere else.

Hill Giant Herdgorger is a pauper-legal common, and that's where it has the most plausible home — green stompy and lifegain shells at common rarity can use a 7/6 body with upside. In Commander, six mana for a vanilla-adjacent creature with no evasion or immediate board interaction is a hard sell unless your commander specifically rewards life totals or creature enters-the-battlefield triggers. Across competitive formats like Modern and Pioneer, Hill Giant Herdgorger doesn't clear the bar — six mana buys you threats that end games, not ones that pad your life total.
