Such a strange card. Although gaining activated abilities from cards is nothing new for black, being able to exile cards is a rare ability for black to have. And a repeatable ability at that? I'm going to enjoy playing this card.

In a Vampire deck, this is at the least a conveniently tribal-coded Scathe Zombie.
Later in the game this turns into some sort of creature-eating Duplicant who, in regards of activated abilities, does a better job at that than him - and who can also do this more than just once. The +1/+1 counter for each activation is just the icing on the cake. Very nice.
@lorendorky Well then if you want him to be recongized, just praise him normally in your comment.
As Kryptnyt said, nobody likes this "thumb-up-whoring".
You most likely end up with a better rating by just not doing it, at least on this site.
And if you seriously want to support Johannes Voss, you'll have to come up with more than that. Maybe at least start a topic on the official forums and let everybody know your thoughts in a right sub-thread, but please not like this within the comments section of every card with his artwork.

I prefer Necrotic Ooze.
But why not run them both in the same deck?

I wish this were viable in standard right now. It's one of the coolest cards in the new set. If you get to use his ability, the game will probably go swiftly in your favor.

Exile? In black? It's more likely than you think, what with Sever the Bloodline having come out before. The activation cost is pricey, but just think of all the combos!

Secretly a blue card. Get a couple Training Grounds in play and this thing machine-guns creatures.

Well, that's one way to deal with Avacyn.

This guy owns in Limited and casual. Not a constructed card, but definitely a blast to play.

Great in limited; although, gaining activated abilities isn't as useful as it seems since most of the other block creatures with activated abilities have a color mana requirement. Still, it won me a few games at the pre-release.
EDIT: @lorendorky. This isn't Johaness Voss' first art for magic. This is just his first expansion where he's done solo work (as far as I know) since he usually works with Jana Schirmer.
