If you run this guy as your general, get Havengul Lich. Never have to Gen-zone your general again!

playing this with Defiler of Souls racks up the +1/+1 counters on Thrax, while simultaneously wiping the board against any mono color decks.
Even against a multi-color deck though, the combination is still pretty good.

This card is great with some token generating cards along with Vampire Aristocrats to speed up the sacrifices.

you guys are forgeting, his other abilities
you declare him attacking and he is a 7/7 unless your opponent is out of creatures, and then it is a straight 6 to their face
2 headed giant with a jund/devourer deck partner and this guy will be crazy, not might, will
@xXV4lkyr13Xx, he has haste, and terminate is the only card that can kill him at instant speed, besides, there is a counter to every card, your opponent could just as easily use cancel or spell snip, no card is perfect, but this is one of the more awesome ones
and yeah the sphinx has pro R+G, but is still hit able with spot removal, meet kor sanctifiers

If it were a 3/3 and cost 2 or 3 less mana it would be epic.
The only drawback I see from this guy is it has no trample... no, seriously: opponent has 2 creatures, you attack with this alone you kill the two creatures and get a 7/7, then what?; a timed casting of Dragon Fodder can keep this guy attacking for like 2-4 turns and still don't scratch the opponent's leg.
Beside that its a bomb unleashed, pay off immediately after you drop it into the table and pay off later when your foe tries to decide what to sacrifice and what use to block this thing.

Insanely awesome for being a zombie, an assassin, lots of colors thus enabling fun EDH decks, humongous, hasty, having an awesome ability, having another awesome ability, cool-sounding name, and sweet flavor text.
That being said, he doesn't seem like an assassin to me.
Assassins thrive on the art of subtelty, and from what I've read in various Savor the Flavor articles, this guy isn't very subtle.
Seems more like a Warrior or a Berserker to me.
Man, how cool would a Zombie Berserker be?

LAME. Why is this an assassin? How would I use this in a mono-black deck!? What a tease.
