Yes this card can rack up some big early damage.
Fits nicely into most discard decks, play a Duress on T1 or T2 to get rid of anything your opponent might have to stop this beast and proceed to drop the hammer.

overrated? more like overpowered. Average number of cards in hand? Like, 3-4. 4/4 for three is usually good.

This card with hymns it's a beast.
However, I only recommend it for black control decks.
Who is so dumb to play it in the first turn when it can easily be a 0/0? ¬ ¬

this is one of my favorite cards.
its won me quite a few games in tournaments, especially in my discard control deck.
not to mention this is one of the sickest pictures ever featured on a Magic card IMO,
Raymond Swanland is a god.

A great card. I play a blue/black discard deck that runs 4 Megrim, 4 Skullcage, and four of these. Especially brutal against topdecks and burn decks that usually have few or no cards in hand.

I love Nyxathid. This flint monster is a... monster. I put a trio of them in a discard deck with racks, started to prefer playing Ol' Flinty to the rack itself (I still did both considering the mana costs). This guy is the ultimate discard support. Bigger than 90% of other creatures, and so affordable to play it's no big loss to lose one.

I like that it can be big, but then woolly thoctar is big and also costs 3 mana. Fun card for black though.
