I only ever play casual and this card is just so much fun to play in that format! You never know whether or not it's going to blow up in your face, but when it does go right, it goes sooooooo right! :D First two games I played with him in my deck I managed to get him out in first 3 turns. Lost the first one, won the second, but loved managing to get him out so early both times :D As others have already said, it combos so well with other cards as well :)
Love this card to pieces!! :)

JUST LIKE ALMOST EVERY SINGLE GOOD CREATURE OUT THERE.
But this is black, which runs graveyard recursion, and loves sacrificing and paying life, as well as being impervious to half the removal out there.
That he can be killed by some removal cards means those removal cards are really good, not the he is really terrible. (In fact, the removal cards are made all the more great by his greatness.)

Reassembling Skeletons, Bloodghast...and with Shard Rotating Condemn will be the new removal for a bit..I dont see why people dont see the potential. Oh no, hes at the bottom of my Library. Diabolic Tutor, Liliana Vess, can get him right back! THINK PEOPLE!
Put the deck together, it struggles with white (Path to Exile), but in all it isnt TERRIBLE. Tournament worhty? Probably not. Massive fun in casual? Heck yes!

Pulled a foil version of this dude from a booster the other day. He'll be perfect for my new black deck!

very very black. I love the flavor, but would never run it, too big of a risk :P
watched someone cheat this in at the pre-release and get it act of treasoned and flinged back at them.
it was a glorious play.

A very cool card. Style points up the yin yang. Awesome art, flavorful, a "drawback" that no one sees as a draw back! Very great way to print demons. I think they deserve drawbacks but the ability to slam into people like a ton of bricks. Well done DoDG...

9/9 Flying Trample with no upkeep in black is already insane.
9/9 Flying Trample turn one using Dark Ritual and three cmc 1 black creatures? Are you INSANE!?

There are just too many ways that this fatty comes back in your own face... each possible removal is gonna be: 6 Life + 4 Cards away for 1 removal spell. or something worse, you run into a Mark of Mutiny/Act of Treason + Viscera Seer.
Cancel or Mana Leak do just the same great job to ruin your day when playing this.
How awesome this guy looks, most of the time your opponent just wins after you playing it.
Maybe a sidebord card vs Eldrazi, or some Green Beatdown deck. *and pray they dont play plumment!*
