I use it on my Boros Swiftblade for 10 damage on turn 3 in my {W}{R} weenie deck, as Bacon said. It works rather well, actually.

Ball Lightning's best friend back in the day. It's always nice to use it just for creatures with tiny bit of defense to begin with, or those with irrelevant defense.

Combos with Blighted Agent and Assault Strobe for a turn 3 kill.

I use it with Bushi Tenderfoot as a way to lower an opponent's creature's toughness to 1, then give my Bushi protection or something. It's pretty rare that they'll see it coming. It's pretty sweet with a flipped Kenzo too.

MISPRINT!!! With R&D's Secret Lair, you can give multiple creatures +4/-4!!!

Belongs in a first strike heavy deck. Enough said.

Kinda clunky with the new Oracle text, and the use is drastically limited by not being able to kill creatures with it. If this card were reprinted today without the "can't kill things" clause, I bet it would cost 1 more, but it would be a much more interesting card. As it is right now, 2.5/5.

Actually, this could work alright on your own creatures if they are all 1/1's or if you're playing a weenie deck with it. W/R weenie?? eh ok

If I recall correctly, this card was mostly used as a combat trick on the offensive, not as a defensive tool...The misprint is kind of funny however and would raised the usefulness of this card...
