I've been a green and white mage for the entire 16 years i've been playing this game, but this is the sort of card that pulls me toward the dark side. When i hold this card, i'm reminded of that scene in episode III when Anakin and Palpatine are watching that water opera thing.

Divine VS Demonic? Can't I have both?

Jace's Ingenuity: 5 mana, 3 cards, Instant
Promise of Power: 5 mana, 5 life, 5 cards, Sorcery
Blue is supposed to be the best color, but if you look at mana costs only, Black is the decisive winner. (Until you go all the way up to Time Walk, which has just a completely *** cost)
Dark Ritual into Dark Ritual into this entwined on the fourth turn or so is particularly Evil Laughter-Inspiring.
5/5

Is that a Havok Demon behind him?
Stupid question that I should know the answer to: If I have 5 cards in my hand, including this one, and I play it... will it be a 5/5 or a 4/4?

Its cards like this which make black my favorite color in Magic. Its spells are just so powerful, but the majority of the BEST of black cards will hurt you in some ways. However, the drawbacks are usually not that bad! I'll be playing this in EDH.

The draw 5 for 5 life is the lovely meat of this card. The rest is just gravy. The other mode alone... I guess you can cast it if you're out of life? Entwine doesn't get cast often but it's crazy when it does, as befitting a 9 mana spell.

Promised power, but skeptical, the mage studied the infernal contract he was offered ad nauseam, until he realized it was just a cruel bargain.

I'm pretty sure it is the Reiver Demon from the same set. Of course you have to ask the artist. :)
