This + Viridian Longbow = you're a moron. Pinging is not combat damage. Never has been, never will be.
About the best thing that can be done with her is making her unblockable, and there are a billion different ways to do that in just about any color. Besides, if your opponent finds out you're playing with this card, I'm sure they'll pull out any number of ways to get rid of her. Condemn ftw.
That being said, I've had so much fun blowing this card up in multiplayer it's not even funny anymore. Someone has already commented on dropping an O-ring on her, then disenchanting it. What's more fun is dropping the O-ring, and watch them cringe every time someone ends their turn, wondering which player is going to blow the ring up and make that player lose the game. There are just too many easy ways to make this card backfire to make it worth running, as well as too many ways to get rid of her. Thankfully, creature removal/counterspells are in... (see all)

I am happy she is now zombie.
I run a zombie deck with four Dirge of the Dead (Usually using cycle) and Zombie Trailblazer. I mainly depend on Trailblazer because my friend runs an all artifact deck. Good things though are that I have 3 Dark Rituals and 3 Burnt Offerings and 2 Zombie Warchiefs so I can play Vengeful Dead on turn two and get my trailblazer ready and sac the vengeful the next turn and play Phage. I only have to get a zombie turn one, though, like Festering Goblin.

She demands Endless Whispers, regardless of whether you're going for the auto-kill combo or not. Your opponent will be terrified of accidentally killing her, but is required to try and block her, and you get to take home anything she touches in the crossfire.

If Phage is just a Minion, then imagine the master O_O

Im planning on putting her in my Zombies deck, but Wizards says Zombie minion, the card itself says Only Minion.. Does this mean I cant use her with Rooftop storm?

Opponent: I activate Liliana's Ultimate! Game over!
Me: For you maybe. *activates divining witch's ability, discarding phage*
Opponent: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
I came across the comment above... loooked up Liliana's Ultimate and was not in the gatherer database. then I looked up Divining Witch. Found that one. But I don't see how discarding Phage would signal the end of the game. OK you've discarded Phage, now you get to exile the top six cards of your library and search for a named card exiling all cards revealed until you find the named card. What am I missing here?

This is how you screw over whoever just played this card: Flickerit.
