Try following up Thraximundar with Malfegor (not necessarily in the same turn) before you attack, b/c he also causes creatures to be sacrificed, so that of course counts toward Thraximundar's 3rd ability. Not to mention you could have cleared your opponent's creatures out, boosted Thrax. in the process, and giving you a clear shot at their face, all at once.
Of course I will also say it's a great card by itself as well, the mana is a bit tricky to come by.

Is it just me or is he totally made to counter decks using Devour.
His third ability counts all players, so your opponent while he is using Sprouting Thrinax or Dragon Fodder to boost his Devour creatures he's also adding counter to Trax!

the zombie creature type makes this card a bit better. He is a bit pricey, but he has an extremly nice ability. I am so tempted to try and make a new type 2 zombie deck now ^u^

His name means "he who paints the earth red."

Nice artwork..nice subs...nice in everything... a bit pricey but a few mana boosts and this can come out in at least turn five or six...back it up with Malfegor and Defiler of Souls to maximize the potential... and spells that make ur opponent (or even you) sacrifice creatures...and Death Baron will really help a lot...oh and add a little Necromancer's Covenant, and ul outnumber ur opponent pretty much a lot...Now death really stalks the land...

I LOVE Swanlands artwork, the thick defined lines, the often blurred painting in orange, red, and tan colors. The epic feeling of combat and contrast. Hes the top artist in magic right now, I think.

You can't be afraid to shy away from the literal when translating. When you think about words in English such as "sufferer" or "doer" you don't tend to think of them as meaning "one who suffers" or "one who does". You don't have to, because -or and -er let you encapsulate the notion of "one who verbs" quite easily. Similarly the "he who" portion of thraximundar could come from simply casting a verb into a noun/operator form. The -ar suffix is used in the infinitive form of some romance language verbs, and it is also permitted to use the infitive as a noun, so it's not hard to see "Thraximundar" as a verb without straying too far from the pseudo-Latin that spawned it.
Mundi is world or more loosely earth, and some portion of the word should clearly mean "red", but there's no reason to get too literal with "paint". To paint something a color is not really any different than to make something a color, and to pain... (see all)
