why is phyrexian arena rated higher than him? this guy can bring you free extra lands! and also can swing for 2, if you are a smart deck builder, life loss wont be a problem with this guy.

I really understand the advantage here, but at the same time, I've never used it once. Know why?
I've beaten far too many opponents by simply sitting back as they drew a tarmogoyf or something and killed themselves. Suicide Black is one thing, but its ridiculous when a creature works against you almost as often as for you.

I started playing magic during Time spiral, however my local store only had Ravnica booster packs at the time, so it was like i started with Ravnica and in one of my early boosters i pulled out this guy... And i was like WTF is this! Why would i pay 2 mana for a 2/1 that hurts me? And its a rare? Screw it im playing grizzly bears!
So for like two years he was sitting in my trade binder and nobody wanted to trade for him because we all thought he sucks. Until i met that guy in high school who was apparently a bit more knowleadgable about Magic and said he needs him. I was like *why, he sucks* and he grinned and said *yeah but im kinda making a new deck and he fits perfectly*.
I immediately got a wierd feeling but i just wanted to finally get rid of the confindant so i traded him...and a magus of the tabernacle for a....HUNTED DRAGON!
Until i realized how much money a confidant costs, i was actually happy with the trade...

Duel Decks: Dark Confidant VS Snapcaster Mage. Perhaps the prices may go down a bit... Oh, who am I kidding!!!

A card is only as good as the cards around it.

I've seen this bro induce enough foolish suicides to honestly believe that those flaming noobs on Gatherer for misunderstanding and/or underestimating Bob's power have contributed directly to rampant misplay of the Confidant. It's like people believe he's good but somehow still don't really get why. Incredible card, nonetheless.

Can you imagine them printing a version of this as a 1/1 mythic with shroud in return to ravnica?

You, know, I don't understand this card very well.
1) Vulnerable to creature removal. Enchantments are harder for most colors to kill.
2) You take on average a lot more damage than from Phyrexian Arena / Bloodgift Demon and friends, unless you run MOSTLY 2 CMC or lower cards.
3) Yeah, he can chump block. But who would chump block with such an excellent ability? Well, unless you're going to lose.
4) You reveal the card. Blue then knows, or at least has a better idea of, exactly what to counter.
So I don't know. He's really expensive (real world money wise) and, in my opinion, worse than Phyrexian Arena. Please explain to me otherwise, because I want to like him.
EDIT: Okay, that's a bit clearer for me. Thanks, Lord_Seth.
EDIT AGAIN: I picked up one of these for my EDH deck. It's incredible the advantage he incurs with Top and occasionally Jace; alm... (see all)
