So, what exactly is the thing on the card? I don't mean the crank itself, but what is being used on. My guess is a leonine stripped of it's mane, but I'm curious to hear what others think.

It's a combo-piece. Dirty.

Just because a combo is infinite doesn't mean it is broken. As we can all see by the fact that Mindcrank + Duskmantle Guildmage has not appeared in any competitive format. I have to giggle at all the people crying for bannings (I assume when the guildmage was first announced.)

Maybe someone could make it work for modern? The whole thing seems too slow. Pay 2 to get this out, 2 to get the mage out, then 3 to activate its ability and then you have to hit them with something to start the process. Vintage formats have Painter's Servant + Grindstone which is a similar, but far better combo in colorless. That doesn't even show up.

I've ran this in my Jarad edh for a few months now, and out of a deck filled with entomb/exhume, deadbridge chant, broken dredge shenanigans, lord of extinction and more, THIS is the absolute most hated card in my entire deck, and has everyone in my personal meta adding recursion. I've had my friends scoop several times after milling out their win cons/shit that would help/recursion.

I couldn't love this card more if I wanted to. It can be useful and made for a quick game with a turn 4 lord of extinction wearing a prowler's helm, vulturous zombie can also get big, goes infinite with bloodcheif and Duskmantle Guildmage, but that's missing the main appeal of this card. It's salt-in-the-wound, unessacarily cruel and just silly all at the same time. Will it ever mill anyone out? Probably never, but it gives no fucks, you loose that life AND those cards!

This card is just a delight to play and any time I can resolve it, it brightens my day. If you run an EDH that deals damage, give this ... (see all)
