A brief rundown of the card:

Not too bad of a deal by itself, Llanowar Behemoth can be a huge nuisance for your opponent very easily with just a little help. Here's some of the better ways to inflate Llanowar Behemoth:

• Brass Man
  During your upkeep, tap Brass Man to inflate Llanowar Behemoth. Later in your upkeep, pay 1 to untap Brass Man. Continue doing this as much as you want (or until you run out of mana). This effectively gives your 4/4 behemoth Carrion Ant's ability.
• Thallids
  The Thallids are the cheapest, easiest way to have a ton of creatures ready to tap later in a game. There may be faster ways to amass many creatures early in a game, but Thallids are the best for late game action. It'll take you a few turns to get the behemoth out anyway, try getting some Thallids out early.
• Vitalize
  Recklessly tap all of your creatures to pump up your behemoth. Use Vitalize to untap all of your creatures to prepare for defense, or just to tap them all again to make your Llanowar Behemoth really big!
