These + 6 deadly poisons + nightfall make a deadly combo.
You sure you don't mean Eclipse? That adds +2/+1, rather than Nightfall's +1/+1.
Either way, when it's buffed through those means, it can still be safely avoided via a Permafrost/Jade/Titanium Shield, which are used in a lot of control-oriented rainbow decks

. Add in the new effect from Purify, and I can see why there's so many new 'Venom' creatures coming about. Without Eclipse, this card is simply fodder for creature control (Rain of Fire, Lightning, Shockwave, etc.).
On another note, this creature adds
2 poison counters, which is pretty crazy - Mr. Pufferfish feels left out now.
