TomTomat: Spend $5 on a Necropotence before you touch this. Don't bother trying to 'break' it, just play it like a 'REALLY' souped up Enchantment-version of Divination. Then build some decks with it. Lose a lot with those decks. Then give those decks to your opponents to play against you. Then lose a lot to decks with Necropotence in them.
I can see you know THAT Necropotence is good already. What you don't know, what I admit freely I don't know either, is HOW to play Necropotence. It's a skill-testing card to play with, actually. As many times as it can give you a 'free win', it can give that 'free win' to your opponents until you know what you're doing. Watch it work a bit. Let yourself get beat up by your own weapons so you can learn how to USE your weapons.
Then go back and compare the textboxes and typelines of Necropotence and Doctor Horrible here. (He needs a new name as ... (see all)

Very rarely does it happen that I like the old art of a new art reprint better, but it has happened here. In the old art, he has those evil eyes and that very cold feel of dark ambition, really looking like he is ready to sacrifice the whole world for his ambition, really cool stuff, fitting to both effect and flavourtext.
This... this is just weird, he is transforming a throne with a crown in his hand and an emo haircut, looking like a circus artist?
I will always like the old art better.
But can someone explain what is going on in this art?

Man, with this crappy art, its totally 'Dork Confidant'...
In any-case, this is a beast of a card and now I'm hoping that he doesn't cost 60 in his real, actual form.
5/5 Stars

@Ferlord: I have no problem main decking Decree of Pain, yet I completely understand why the unBob is OP. Paradox?

I really do feel like such a noob. I still don't understand why this is, like, one of the most beloved and apparently broken cards ever. The card draw is nice, I get that much, but I do think I'm missing something. Anyone mind explaining?

of course its awesome, but mercurial chemister costs only 3 more, draws one more card each turn, doesnt let your opponents know what it is, doesnt cost you life, and can be a removal.
but, well, i think his worth the 70$ price (but only because i opened him. would anyone please buy him from me?)

I really regret selling my three bobs for only 20$ each a few months ago...don't let desperation decimate your collection!
Also, phyrexian arena and howling mine are better, imo

I kinda preferred the original art - come on guys, Solemn Simulacrum kept his purdeh face for Commander (even if he did lose it in the following core set)!
This just looks... well... generic, I guess. Awesome card, but still.
