This guy is pretty awesome, especially in multiplayer formats. Of course you can't rely on your opponents having any creatures, yet you can also manipulate your graveyard accordingly.
@Sir_Bruce: If you get a foil version of Mortivore, it will come without reminder text and in exchange gets a special flavor text instead. (Or in some cases if it looks more awesome then - as with Time Stop - no italics at all.)

Your opponent will hate you if he plays "traumatize" on you and then you get this guy out XD
This really is my favorite Lhurgoyf.

I dont like this card at alll lol
my friend uses a black deck and i use a goblin deck and i can bring him down fairly easy somewhat except for his discarding cards lol but man when mortivore comes out on the field, all hell breaks lose, i start tryin to throw my destro spells on it but that 1 mana regeneration kills me
basically, him on the field is death for me and my goblins O.o
otherwise a reallly great black card i'd say its a must need if you have a creatureslayin deck

I don't like the fact that it's way better than the Lhurgoyf for the same cmc
(maybe just jealous because I own a lhurgoyf and not this guy)

This is when your opponent realizes that traumatize may not have been such a good idea after all.

I use this card in a blue/black milling deck. works like a charm if your opponent has a lot of creatures. this plus traumatize, Jace, or Jaces erasure boost this puppy like no other

what's all this "late game" ***, this card is for mid game, and stays strong through to late game, but saying you can't rely on opponents to have creatures in their graveyard is weird when your playing black, unless you have opponents that are fond of exiling cards from their graveyards?
