Got better with the loss of mana burn in Magic 2010, of course.

I think Davvol needs a hug.

This is the guy who became the first evincar of Rath. I think it's because he wanted people to actually celebrate his birthday. Just do a flavor text search for Davvol.
Also...WELCOME TO THE DARK CARNIVAL, BROTHER.

Easier infinite mana combo:
Gather three copies of Faceless Butcher/Faceless Devourer and have (as mentioned before) Essence Warden or even Leyline of Lifeforce around. At the very least, you tie the game. At the best, you have some instant or another creature on the battlefield to Butcher, and then play Maga for the win.
These colors are pretty synergistic, as you can put together the combo pieces with Pack Hunt, Bifurcate, or Infernal Tutor. Dual Nature turns a single copy of Faceless into a combo. Bloodbond March acts as a sort of Yawgmoth's Will for the combo.

It comes as no surprise that the only way to make this card slightly less disgustingly bad was to change the rules of the game.

Possibly the best flavor text ever.

got better with the removal of mana burn. however it couldn't get much worse. also
@ gunhaven: your combo works but requires to many cards to set it up. 2-3 card combos tend to work but anything after that becomes near impossible to set up.

(Date Posted:12/30/2008) unfortunately you have to do that...this way you need something to make use of your mana, or elsewise you'll get some additional damage from mana burn through your opponent's creatures :/
edit: removal of mana burn has a good upside regarding this card - yet after playtesting this card i have to say the lifeloss is still a huge problem.
it's quite dangerous even for suicide black if you can get this card to produce a good amount of mana unless you use something like Essence Warden to negate the trigger. (i did so with Hunted Creatures and used hybrid mana dual-lands like Twilight Mire to convert the black mana).

Very good in Kobold Clamps as a way to fuel your Skull Clamping.
