I'm torn. I think his plus one is the problem. If it was "Draw a card, discard a card" it would be too powerful. I love his deck though. Basically a you have no right choice deck. The gf hates it.
Also has an interesting synergy with Seal of fire and Seal of Doom, because it takes those out of your hand. Convenient that it fits in the deck. Should have been included, particularly since it's black red.

First ability should read: "Draw a card and then discard a card".
Second ability is overpriced by at LEAST 1.
Third ability is great in multiplayer and okay in other formats.
Overall, Wizards could have done better with this formally human psychopath, and in accord with psychichobo, Tibalt's deck sucked. Sorin beats him senseless like a bastard infant that his mother disowned...

The worst card in his own deck, but he looks pretty cool.

Hey guys I accidentally put an Animate Dead and a Grave Titan in Tibalt's Deck and he suddenly started winning a lot more. B|
So I decided to go a bit further and put in Buried Alive, Sickening Dreams, Duress, and Zombie Infestation. :)p
Turns out Recouping Animate Dead is good. Who knew. Oh and I highly suggest that people who already have their Premium Decks go ahead and do everything evil you realize I'm about to tell you to do, since he is in these colors >:D
Tibalt's Fixed Deck: "Devils' Dare"
2x Tibalt, the Fiend-blooded
16 Creatures
1x Vexing Devil
1x Ashmouth Hound
2x Hellrider
1x Scourge Devil
1x Gang of Devils
2x Scorched Rusalka
1x Skirsdag Cultist... (see all)

Tibalt, The Fiend-Blooded, ah one of my favorite thematic planeswalkers, decked out in new super awesome art and looking better then ever.
And yet, he is by far the Worst Planeswalker ever created. In no deck is he useful, and even in casual decks he has to compete with commons that are more then capable of doing his job better.
Compared to his rival Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, he is a joke. Sorin comes down and can immediately drop down an emblem AND still have loyalty kicking around. If Tibalt wants to drop his -4 to do 0-5 damage, a lousy effect in comparison, he has to spend two on random looting AND kill himself in the process. Sorin can ult immediately after three turns of getting the benefits of his token, while Tibalt has to spend 4 turns on an ability that is a downside half the time before even getting to ultimate, and Tibalt has virtually no chance of getting use out of it.
Even counting the fact that Tibalt can come out two turns earlier, his -4 come... (see all)

@Lwonders
TL;DR
I like the Art though. "COME AT ME BRO" pose defintely makes it more entertaining.

Very very odd planeswalker. Comes in T2, at a very early stage for 2 red. Risky +1, powerful and abusive ult that will probably never see play, and -4 that is good early on.
Tibalt get's too much bias feedback, he is worse than Koth, but in my solid opinion better than all the Chandras. Chandra the Firebrand is essentially useless, Chandra Ablaze is expensive and isn't soulfully mono red, since it comes in too late. And, Chandra Nalar, don't even get me started.
A 2 MANA PLANESWALKER. Please, this card must've been pushed. When my friend plays it as early as T2, I know I'm fucked. He draws 3 lightning bolts and flashbacks the cards he discards. So good in decks that abuse graveyard-returns. I usually have 6 or 5 cards in my hand by T4 playing my Lifegain Selesnya deck, easy 5-6 damage. Then he keeps bombarding me with burns.

One of the best Planeswalkers ever made (Sorin, Lord of Innistrad), vs the worst ever made... seriously, I put this card in a dack especially made for him, and he was still pretty meh, WHY REPRINT THE PLANESWALKER FEWEST PEOPLE LIKE??? And in a duel deck??? People will look at the box and think "wow, Cool new Sorin, sweet! VS. ...nah, I'm not buying this".
His price tag ranges from 2$ to 6$ FFS, people don't want this guy, why do you do this Wizards, don't you want people to buy your duel deck? Why make one of your front page sellers a planeswalker nobody wants?
