This card is my hero. At first blush, it appears to just say essentially : Inquisitor gets +0/+1 until end of turn and deals one damage to target creature, but the things you can do with this are very fun. The Inquisitor zan take on things much bigger than itself, then survive AND ping the other side into next Tuesday, or it can redirect damage back at the thing bigger than itself that it's fighting and kill it outright; taking out 6/6s is not too unheard of. Getting into some more advanced stuff, it can pick on a Deathtouching creature and wipe the other player's side clean of creatures entirely AND survive. If you're into Unhinged, it can turn Red-Hot Hottie into a hilarious nightmare for your opponent. So much fun, if mana intensive.
The art looks great too; that guy is clearly zealous.
EDIT: Forgot my horrible joke; NOBODY EXPECTS THE ZEALOUS INQUISITOR!

They will die simultaneously, and since i guess the Deathgreeter belongs to the Iron Myr's controller, he or she can decide in which order the two creatures will be put into the graveyard. Therefore if one lets the Iron Myr go to the graveyard at first, Deathgreeter can trigger and will still provide 1 life.
Sigh, I wish we had a seperate talk page for rule questions on Gatherer. (Independant from the printed version then, of course.)

This bad boy is essentially 2WW- Take 2 damage from a bolt and kill opponent's bear. two elves etcetc. It's not cheap- but ZI holds it's own at any stage of the game

You're opponents will never expect to see that 1 damage redirected at their Lotus Cobra.

@Mode: Deathgreeter will trigger no matter what. Both go at the graveyard at the same time. (Ordering the graveyard is entirely different to having one go, then the other one.)

I much better pokie! 1,W and not only has he got +0/+1 he also deals that damage to your oponents creatures! With a Wall of Souls or similar you can redirect to the oponents life. Much better than the ~3 suggests, however you do need a bit of mana!

Hypothetical: Zealous Inquisitor attacks, iron myr blocks. The one damage is redirected to a deathgreeter. Does the one with the deathgreeter gain one life for the myr or do they die at once?
