It annoys me that whenever my opponents play him he's a pain in the ass for me. Whenever I play him it's always in an awkward situation where I have to use his -2 to steal a big scary-ass thing that would otherwise destroy me. This is always followed by him getting gutted by some weak little flyer or burn spell. Sigh.

I've had mixed results with this card. Very win-more card whose best application is in an Omniscience deck. I've never really had him survive a full two turns.

I play him with Wildfire the next turn, practically guaranteeing his survival. A probable board wipe as well as annihilating their lands? Good times. Results may vary.

I've never actually won with him directly. Whenever I drop him my opponent just ends up conceding after I've stripped him of everything he cherishes. There's something downright evil about winning only because your enemy has given up after you've tortured him for three or four turns. The flavour of this card is truly delicious that way. You don't win WITH him, you win BECAUSE of him.

If this 'walker hits the field, your opponent must deal with it or he likely dies. 5/5

His abilities had better have been good! 8 mana, particularly in 3-colours, ISN'T what you'd call "aggressive".
I found that he was the easiest player in the DotP 2013 game, despite being the "end boss"...
AND HE PLAYED MOXS. YOU KNOW, THE EXPENSIVE ONES.
All in all, when M13 was in limited play, he was a weird pick. His $6 price-tag and play-ability in standard (or lack of) wasn't what convinced people to play him. No, people would usually first-pick him JUST IN CASE someone's going grixis colours and might be able to get him out.
Without the Grixis love in Alara, this is and will be a difficult card to get out, always.
But once you do, oooooh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.

So let's see..
+3: Kill anything, except creatures. Lord Bolas will not tolerate other people having nice things.
-2: Steal creature. Because while Bolas hates you, He is not wasteful.
-9: Screw you.
If he hits the table, and you can avoid dying immediately, he helps you get so far ahead it's not even funny. Land, enchantments, artifacts, all go away.
Oh you wanted to swing with your Sun Titan? Nope.
not to mention his last effect is just devastating in every way. It's pretty much over if you hit someone with it.
