This card is way better than a lot of you guys are giving it credit for, the problem is that it doesn't fit this block and would be much better combined with bloodthirst. If I had a bloodthirst deck I could see including this card for sure, pretty comparable to Scepter of Empires.

This isn't as bad as a lot of you guys make it out to be. This card has often provided me the last points of damage needed to win a game, it helps keep the extort decks within reach and it doesn't die to removal (because no-one runs Shattering Blow in limited). A creature will often times be better, but then again, this is unblockable, cheap and consistent damage. Mind you, a free point of damage per turn can quickly add up.

This is a great Gruul card. It goes so well with Bloodthi-
Oh, yeah. This sucks.

Somewhere someone is brewing a very evil control deck with exactly one copy of this card as its win condition. The weakness of a card like Aetherling is that it has some level of mercy. The fact that you can use Razortip Whip as a 20-turn clock is just so deliciously wrong. If you are the person who makes this deck, when you play this card, you need to remember to say in your most evil voice, "It's going to be a very long game for you, my friend."

The gameplan is to control what both players draw, preventing the opponent to draw anything useful. The primary wincon is slowly and painfully milling the opponent. A lot of people complained that once locked it gets boring until I actually mill them, so we added Tezz (Bolas) as a 1off wincon to speed up their inevitable loss. The problem is I can only add 1 wincon to maintain the lock consistency. Last week I switched tezz for razortip whip, just for fun & giggles. Best rage quits I've ever seen.
