Well, look on the bright side... at least it's not Archangel's Light.

Got one of these in a booster box along with Griselbrand, Tamiyo, and a Bonfire of the Damned. Now i'm just waiting to sell this thing cause im sure somebody will break it and make it worth a ton. Say what you want but it's just not worth the slot in my monoblack deck.
and@oj48 i didn't realize that only your opinions mattered here, just because you like the card doesn't mean you need to call everyone who doesnt a "***got" and tell people to "suck a d**k". grow up.

For any game that drags out, it's easy to screw over your opponents. If you need to, you can exile it to itself to end the descent. All you need is some kind of card or permanent advantage. I think tokens would be the easiest, but massive card draw would also work.

I know it doesn't fit the theme of the set, but is anyone else bothered by the fact this card doesn't have the madness mechanic?
The card itself has some potential with the proliferate mechanic, and could be useful against creatureless control decks, since they would have to choose between exiling cards from their hands, or exiling lands (aside from a few utility permanents, things like Oblivion Ring) The best thing this card has going for it is the fact that the effect happens simultaneously, unlike cards like Howling Mine where your opponent benefits first. (Although this effect might not be considered a benefit)

Hmm...does this deserve the second worst mythic spot? (after Archangel's Light)

I think this card is much better than people give it credit for. Yes it is slow, but there is a lot to like when you begin to think about the card in light of certain match ups. It is good against hexproof, undying, and indestructible creatures. It is also good against decks that rely on morbid, flashback, and other graveyard mechanics since the cards are exiled rather than put into the graveyard. The card is also versatile in the sense that it targets every possible card in magic: It can cause players to exile creatures, planeswalkers, enchantments, artifacts, instants, sorceries, and lands. When you begin to think about the wide spectrum of decks and card types this card could create problems for, it makes the card worth something if the card can be placed in a deck that can alleviate its affect on you.
If you truly want to understand how to use this card, then you have to think in terms of two things: 1) permanents per card and 2) cards per permanent. If you have cards that p... (see all)

Few ways to play this.
Play in G/B for accel and tokens (saps, eldrazi, ect). By the time you drop this on turn 4-5 you shoulc have those token generators in place and a few out, if not a bunch. Once that happens after 1-2 turns the game will be yours.
This card will lock down the game when played with some fast creatures/things to kill.
Token makers/pumpers:
Let's say we have you reach turn 5 with Awakening Zone or Greener Pastures (because after a bit, we will have card advt) in play 2-3 Eldrazi or Saps on the field. You have Bestial Menace, Life and Limb, Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder, Deranged Hermit(echo? she's food for the decent), Saproling Symbiosis (when you're ahead, get more ahead), Rhys the Redeemed (maybe you could run this is G/B Elf lol, there is this guy Nath of the Gilt-Leaf, that ... (see all)

Amazing. I had the same odds of drawing an Avacyn or a Gisela or a Griselbrand or a Tibalt, all of which can go for over fifteen dollars. or a Tamiyo, which goes for over thirty. Instead I got this, which is worth 2. And my friend opened a pack and drew a Tibalt about thirty seconds ago. KMN. 0.5/5
EDIT: Okay, I amended my decision. I changed it to a 1.5/5, because while it takes up a much needed Mythic slot, it's ability can be useful. Okay, 2/5. But that extra .5 is for the art and flavor.
