I hate this card. I don't like having to stop the game to pass around little slips of paper just to execute some bizarre, worthless effect.

Very peculiar concept. Surely someone can squeeze a deadly combo out of such a strange mechanic? If you could get Protection from Red on yourself you could write an outlandishly high number and get the +2/+2 for free. Or even shunt the self-flaggelation onto someone else? I dunno.

Lol PhyrexianAdvocate. At least 10 million :P
Anyone have a good number to pick? How much is +2/+2 worth? Especially compared to cards like Elemental Appeal? Is "all but 1, when I have more life than you" really a valid strategy?

Used to have a Stonebrow, Krosan Hero EDH deck just for giggles and I knew I wanted to have this guy in there. I had him forever, but could never put him in a deck, but EDH is the place were these types of cards shine. Haste and trample are already huge in an aggressive commander deck, and its silly seeing how many people will just neglect to read the entire card and pay an absurd amount of life (thinking it'll counter the ability somehow) and still get punched in the nuts. Menacing Ogre is a hysterical card.
