That art...it disturbs me. But hey, this isn't a bad thing to feed tokens to.

@The_Evictee

It's what you get when Catholism makes love with the Aztec religion then has a baby that is put into the gaurdianship of the Russian Mafia!

What kind of sick religion is Orzhov anyway?

Unless you are running a token generator of some kind, this card is not going to be working very well with Orzhov. Here's the deal: You've been patiently working to stabilize the board. You finally get a creature or two on the board and maybe one of them has Extort. Then this thing comes along and demands you sacrifice a creature to get a measly +1/+1 until end of turn? Really? Good luck with that as the Boros Battalion beats you like a drum on the next turn or Naya Blitz rolls you before you can even do anything with this creature.

Sure, black has plenty of recursion and white has plenty of tokens, but this card just doesn't seem to work well with where Orzhov has been going lately. Not to mention that 3WhiteBlack is pretty expensive for a 3/3 body. I don't really see this working in Standard. By the time I get to five mana, I have many other better choices like Obzedat, Ghost Council, maybe Alms Beast, or maybe even Ubul Sar G... (see all)

Love this card, one of a few I'm really excited for in DGM. He'll fit right in with a sac deck I run built of Reassembling Skeleton and Unruly mob. Pretty grim art though.

@ Purple: when he sacrifices himself, your other creatures get +1/+1 until end of turn.

The ability of the guy is great. Attack with five 1/1 tokens, have three of them blocked, sacrifice them, turn the other two into 4/4 guys each, and deal 8 damage. More than if none would have been blocked.

However, the 3/3 body for five mana in two colors is just horrible. It should be 4/4, or be able to create tokens, regenerate, have death touch, lifelink, fear or whatever.

He's got the Pit of Carkoon in his stomach! That's just epic...

It would take at least the efficiency of a conveyor belt to make this card constructed-playable.

A solid 4.0/5. Such anthem effects can really make a difference in a variety Orzhov decks, usually filled with rather meek creatures in terms of P/T. I used one in my FNM deck last Friday, and it didn't disappoint me. It affects the game from the moment it hits the board, either allowing to deliver the finishing damage with your Spirit tokens, or helps protecting your creatures from some mass destruction effects (such as Golgari Charm, to which Orzhov decks can be quite vulnerable).
