Wins long-drawn attrition battles. But if your oppt's running haymaker decks where cheap things hit hard, this card has no chance at all. The main problem with this card is that its a late game investment. When you've staring down the brutal rush attack of aggro melee, any four-mana beef or removal's gonna look better than an enchantment that can't guarantee your survival past midgame.
It's a challenging card to use, since i don't believe it'll work out in any sort of creature-centric deck.. i guess the only way is to to push for tight control. Or stack this DamageOverTime with some of the other DOTs Black has to offer. Stack all the life clocks you can, maybe that'll help. Kederekt parasite? Phyrexian Tyranny? Underworld dreams? You get the idea.

This vs my friend's goblin deck is awesome.

I actually run this in a duel color deck. Like the card says, 'We must all push through the pain to heal this world.'
With enough Corrupts and Tendrils of Corruption in a black deck, this would be a 'no problem' card.

Sideboard this for Demon's Horn if you're playing another black deck...

Too slow and random to be good.

Anyone else notice that this and Corpsehatch's art put next to each other makes a really sweet picture.
