Amazing beater, and even more efficient with a Heartless Summoning in play. Also, who cares if they're gaining a bit of life after you put a Rancor on him?

This card is awesome. Who cares if they have a little extra life when you're killing them with an affordable 6/6?

So Desecration Demon is a CMC 4 6/6 creature that will only get to attack when your opponent is ready for it. Its comments page has quite a number of people singing its praises and ignoring the fact that your opponent never has to worry about it unless they have a Fling.
This guy is a CMC 4 6/6 creature that actually has a chance of staying untapped during your turn and can either serve as a beefy blocker or an attacker they want to block. This comment page has quite a number of people who can come to grips with this card's shortfallings.

They're both average cards, but it puzzles me how people think Desecration Demon is significantly better than this. Then again, people still think Phyrexian Obliterator is broken, so I guess some mysteries just aren't meant to be solved. Besides, both Alms Beast and Desecration Demon get chump blocked to no end by Moorland Hanut.

I'm glad the top comment is what it is- it re-reminded me of what I used to know so well. :P

5/5 stars. I'm rating it high for being so interesting. I'm beginning to think that all the '5-star' cards, or at least, what some people think makes a 5-star card, are actually bad-because-they're-boring.

This adds a creature for you to attack and block with.
This affects your opponents creatures in some way. This can be played early.

It' NOT like many 'lol, you solved our one dimensional so-called puzzle, actually-that's-called-a-railroad' cards. This card GENUINELY seems weak.
But! it's a weak 4 mana 6/6! And that's just so conundrufusticating! And that makes me want to build decks! ^_^

Constrained Cognition. Restriction breeds Creativity. With Thundermaw Hellkite, or Thragtusk, the sky's the limit on how killer you can make your attack step.
With Alms Beast, I don't even know if the deck that really most wants to play this card wants to be attacking! o.O That's NEAT that cards can sti... (see all)
