There is only one Lord, and this is He.
There was a time when trading a Mox Pearl for this bad boy made sense, if you didn't like playing white. Man, how the years have flown by.
And this printing is quite an upgrade. Thumbs up. The new Oracle wording is clearer (dear god did we ever have the fights over whether Lord of the Pit could eat itself, back then. Check the old wording to see why.) The new art is stellar (going with Chippy was a fantastic choice for Lord's revival, his artwork for Abyssal Persecutor is awesome). The new flavor text is perfect. Heck, even the expansion symbol looks cool on this guy.
Lord of the Pit's one of five Beta creatures to become immediately and enduringly iconic (Lord of the Pit, Serra Angel, Shivan Dragon, Gaea's Liege, and Tim), and kudos to Wiz... (see all)

I love Lord of the Pit ^-^ with Breeding Pit
if only I had a Bitterblossom or a Token generator like this:
(B) Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, put a
Black Rose - Creature Token (Black) – Thrull Plant - 0/1
(Defender.) (T, Sacrifice Black Rose: Add B to your mana pool.)
good luck in everything to all ^-^... bye.
Demia JOR time.

He was mythic years ago. Now, many exist that are supperior to him.

The appropriate thing to do with this, is to brazenly take the 7 each time, and laugh at the looks of horror on your opponents' faces because they don't believe that you just don't care. After all, you are running a Kaalia of the Vast deck with Congregate and Luminous Angel, aren't you? :D

Magnificent art work; the best art work for Lord of the Pit ever. But did it really need to be mythic? Why do I have the feeling that all this has been said before about him?

I used this guy with breeding pit about 15 years ago. He's all nostalgia and not much else.
Definitely shouldn't have been a mythic alongside Akroma, but this reprint was just incredible for those of us that have played magic since the beginning. Awesome new artwork, best yet.

Surprised no ones mentioned the awesome flavor text. Artwork is pure awesome.

Sure, LotP doesn't inspire the fear he used to, but I still run him in casual play. I miss cards that were both powerful and fun. Sadly, if it wasn't for the new (awesome) art, I don't think he'd see any play.
NeoSin was right, the flavor text is great.
