I saw this card for the first time today and I am still speechless...
A BLACK 2/2 common with BBcmc is already above average and you get a edict for 1 more??? AND it is a vampire... I so need two playsets of this... 5/5

Most annoying black card I've ever seen.
"Yay I finally got a big creature out!"
"Gatekeeper"

I have 5-color controldeck, and this one gives me a lot of trouble. That sacrifice makes it so powerful, a lot better than Doomblade-effect would make and It's only 3 mana. My Countersqualls and and Vines of Vastwood won't protect against this one, so only thing I can use against these is Thought Hemorrhage and that slows me a lot. And this works also against other black creatures. Only minus is BBB. Maybe someone could think this as a good thing? Maybe best card in set?
Hmm, also I don't like the thing it's a vampire. Zendikar is filled with vampire's, so you don't need to know how to make a deck, you just throw those "cool" vampires in and there you go. And that deck will definetely work quite a well. For me, that's not an option. I'd like to design an unique deck, something that might not work, but It's not copied somewhere. And that is a great minus in Zendikar. There's landfall and there's vampires, both foredesigned and very well working. Thx

Of course sacrifice is great because it's not targeted, but outside of standard I might still prefer Nekrataal in a lot of cases. First strike, more splashable, and you get to choose the creature.

Wizards should teach themselves what to do with mana costs when combining cards. Diabolic Edict + a 2/2 should cost 4.
Wizards should also teach themselves that kicker is supposed to be a mana sink, not a required cost.
Great card, and very annoying.
