Hey, remember how you devoured all your creatures and hit me for 18? DIE.

Sorta like Innocent Blood, but its a bit harder to take advantage of. I suppose if you didn't have any creatures or cards, you'd get something, but if you didn't have any creatures or cards I think you'd be in bigger trouble. Still, it combos nicely with abyssal persecutor.

4/5

@Dr.Davyjones Not really. This card says that if you take away some thing, after the pain passes they'd be ***ed at you. Not that it prevents rebellion. If you took away everything, people would get over the shock and get back to work.

I'm still having issues correctly using this card. I often screw myself just as badly...

Still, in the right deck, this thing will wreck opponents. Also.. it gets you focused in multi-player. You'd better have a damn good deck.

This guy I met at my school had a legacy reanimator deck. It used this card as the primary discard outlet. He used fetid heath combined with flagstones of trokair to cast it (usually).

The discard furthered his plans, he basically didn't lose a land because his got replaced, and he never had a creature on turn 2 (or if he did, it was already game over). The life loss is mostly irrelevant. The main creature he reanimated was angel of despair. Cuts you down a land, and then destroys another one the next turn.

I like that a card this powerful exists and has been reprinted recently (as in wizards still thinks it's okay to have in the game). The effect is absolutely brutal and leads to really crazy decks.

5/5

I like how this is intentionally a small version of Pox.

Please don't use against red Human type creatures. They have it hard as it is.

This card is so perfectly black. A little bit stronger then it should be for its cost, and just the tiniest bit scary to put into your deck.
