On one hand it is harder to counter than Dark Ritual, but on the other hand you opponent can counter the creature itself or just kill it. Countering instants is mostly a blue thing. All five colors can remove your creature. Just play the ritual.

Bog Witch is reusable, but this does give you 3 mana, as opposed to 2 with the witch, or even Dark Ritual(net gains).

It's a Cthulhu joke. It made me laugh.

The thing that is cool about this card is that it is harder for your opponent to stop. Dark Ritual can be easily countered, but few counters exist for abilities (the only cards I can think of at the moment is Void Slime and Linvala, Keeper of Secrets)

With Rise of the Eldrazi, this would have made a nice reprint; reflavoured to "Cultist of Kozilek", with flavour text reading: "How do you pronounce 'Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Kozilek r'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn'?"
Wow, that joke is narrow.

It's a shame this makes you discard a card for it's effect, otherwise it'd make a nice dark ritual replacement.

Along with a dark ritual ,exhume and a big one this have a meaning on turn one !
The discard thing goes well in a reanimated game .

Obviously designed to work with Madness cards, and it's excellent for that purpose.
