Why won't people stop talking about Kaalia? She's not the only general who's good with this. What about Malfegor? Tutor for a Griselbrand, Harvester of Souls or Rune-Scarred Demon for huge draws, then return this to your hand when you play either the demon or Malfegor himself. Furthermore, you can order the triggers at will, so you can opt between returning it before or after Malf's ability resolves (either discarding him so your opponents have to make an extra sacrifice or keeping him so you have a hand of sorts).
Edit: nevermind about Gris, the RC banned him. Replace with Bloodgift Demon.

This card is absolutely insane. If demon based decks (or decks simply using a decent amount of them) are a flame, this guy us pure gasoline. It's so nice to play him, sac next turn for an Abyssal Persecutor then play him again next turn and tutor for something equally as nasty like the new Desecration Demon. A demon every other turn without even needed a land draw for 8 turns is a wonderful thing. All this with only 1 of them out! Not to mention death effects being triggered or having a recurrent creature that can be used as a sacrifice if the need arises.
4 mana to put any demon in your deck right in your hand is an underestimated edge with this card. Even without Kaalia he is a staple, in my opinion, for any demon deck.
Plus he has a decent power to be a blocker as well. Great card, great ability, demonic fun for everyone!

This + Deathrender? Maaaan. A demon a turn makes opponent's blood churn.

Freaking amazing in a Kaalia deck. I had one of these floating around, and was just about to trade it away before I got ahold of the CMD decks. I've made an extremely killer Angel/Dragon/Demon deck, and I usually go searching for this guy as soon as I can. Having every possible tutor known to man in this deck, it's not hard lol.
Then again, Kaalia in GENERAL is a crazy card.

Would be good for Kaalia of the Vast-- Always have something available for her to cheat into play.
