This card went into my Kresh the Bloodbraided EDH deck for sure.
IMO this is the second best monored EDH card after Insurrection, and don't think this is only true because of how it works out with Kresh. Even if you're not playing a lot of creatures, it's likely that someone else at the table will be, and you can use their deaths to hurt anyone. Most prevalently, it is a win condition, but even if you have only a few creatures, or nothing but the threat of killing the creatures of others, this acts as a deterrant as well. Your opponents may even intentionally reduce their hand size to avoid greater damage.
Also, if you are using a lot of creatures, try not to let this get taken. I've found that turbo fog is more than willing to adapt its strategy.

Doesn't really make any sense flavor-wise.

Heh... too bad Fecundity is a "may" effect.

Not sure why this is rated so low on here, it combines perfectly into Jund mechanics despite the hefty cost. Run it with Lavalanche or Balefire Dragon, or any devour creature. Ha. HA HA HA...

when I looked at this card and realized that i could only see it played in a commander deck I realized to my horror that I am a spike!

Use in a Devour deck.
Laugh manically.

Hilariously good with Ashnod's Altar to bring it out quickly and fuel it. I put this in a Goblin deck with Krenko, Mob Boss and was able to bring out the Altar, play this, and kill two opponents from near-full life all in the same turn.

this card's effect has nothing to do with itself: how the hell is the death of a creature connected to damage equal to the number of cards in the hand?

This + Opalescence + something nice like Basilisk Collar or Phyresis
