I use him with dredge so I never actually cast him. Life from the Loam ensures he never goes away. Any number of sack outlets give him purpose beyond attacking.
Now if only he could block...

Absolutely beautiful for Pox decks. It's hard to notice how nice he is by comparison to Ichorid, Nether Traitor, Nether Shadow, or similar; and they all have their place!
But, if you can't afford lots of creatures in your deck or your mana curve can't handle the burden of; but you run lots of land (both of those fit pox), he can give you sacrifice fodder for free, keep the beats coming, make good discard fodder, and he makes late-game land drops a boon for your deck.

I use him with Skullclamp and Carrion Feeder. It makes me feel dirty.

An interesting take on a Modern-ised Ichorid. Just being able to make that comparison makes it obvious that this card is really good. 4.5/5
