This is one of the better allies. Always relevant, you're never sad to see it.

It should have been a highwayman, rather than a thief, constantly telling opponents to "stand and deliver" their hands ;)

This card needs a lot allies to work properly, otherwise it just is a 4cc 2/2 that forces your opponent discard a card.

I'm noticing a lot of us are feeling the same way about this whole Ally business... For me I'm thinking: on average the cost is high but the set (Zendikar) has some good non-basic land and land activity, ok fine so each helps this set's play, but still... there's something that bugs us... maybe it's just the case where some creatures/creature types transcend their sets while others are very specific to their set... obviously at the moment the Allys are very specific to Zendikar... although I am pretty sure there have been earlier ally cards? or maybe it's just the name "ally" in the card that i remember seeing and not actually part of the creature type. But once again... even if they are revisiting and developing a creature type I think it's safe to say that we have a few favorite cre types we'd rather see developed.
For a very simple example: Wolf... it's not impossible to scrape up a wolf deck but it's no walk in the park either... and I'm talking both functionability and a prett... (see all)

Just to put simply, you won't win with discard by itself. You need Megrim/Liliana's Caress.
That being said, if you want a black rare ally, use Agadeem Occultist. He can win you the game.

Is she putting that crystal into the squished man, or taking it out?

Not really rare worthy. : unless you have 3 or more Allies, this guy might as well be a 4 CMC, 2/2 ravenous rats.

This was the first rare I pulled out of a Zendikar booster.
