@ratchet1215 Emblems are for planeswalkers. Pretty sure emblems weren't even thought of when this set came out.

Is this effect removed by Karn Liberated?

At Andoroth:

From Karn's page:

No actions taken in the game that was restarted apply to the new game. For example, if you were dealt damage by Stigma Lasher in the original game, the effect that states you can't gain life doesn't carry over to the new game.

Other fun things are Mortarpod and Viridian Longbow.

I think this guy is great, wither keeps him from being any generic 2/2, but his special ability is definitely something that could keep you on the edge of your seat. The only reason I can't rate it so highly is that there are many cards that can answer to him and he has to deal the damage directly. Also, for those touting that he really "sticks it to White decks", they kind of do have Ethereal Haze, Pacifism, Abeyance, Orim's Chant, Bonds of Faith, Oblivion Ring, etc. so there is still time to answer.

A good combo would also be Skullcrack into the Power of Fire if they do run damage prevention.

Stupid and broken. Discourages card interactions, discourages whole deck interactions, and pretty much guarantees victory against lifegain all the way in the metagame, making the actual match fairly pointless. Also, did lifegain really need this kind of hosing? Between this and Kavu Predator, why does the weakest deck archetype have the most intense hate in the game?

Yikes. There was some scary stuff in the Lorwyn block. Am I the only one here who thinks this card's effect is rather severe for a 2-mana creature? There should have been some way of removing the evil effect. Bad card design, sorry.

With life gain actually being stronger than it used to be nowadays, Stigma Lasher is a pretty good card. shuts down ALL lifegain, and unless they can restart the game somehow, You have a major advantage.

Also, a 2/2 wither isn't that bad either. Remember, all you need is ONE. UNBLOCKED. ATTACK.
