I love everything about this card. It is just so elegantly done. As to strategy, you all seem to want to pop him as soon as possible. Why not wait. Hear me out here. If you hang onto the guy and sac him when your opponent has 2/3 cards in their hand you will hit that stuff that they are holding off. Usually that is their late-game bombs, wincons and whatnot, as they will not have mustered the mana to cast them yet. That is certainly a win. There is also the possibility that they will play around you, dropping their cards unprotected and unready, simply to avoid the above scenario. This lets you deal with their threats before they even become a danger. On the flipside the foe may hold cards back in their hand to discard if they know what you are up to. This means less threats on the table to deal with and lets you lock them down and make those wins in their hand so painfully far away. 4/5. +.5 for art and flavor. 4.5/5

Good card. Two card discard that only costs 2 mana, plus you can chump block.

4.5/5

It is an aggro-control card.

Fantastic Card.

With all it can do with discard and tribal, it makes the red goblin counter part Emberwilde Augur seem a little blech. But there are plenty of ways to find uses for the latter Augur in Goblin tribal, although there are better cards.

Not sure I like the design. There WILL be players trying to regenerate it after sacrificing it.

Above anything else this is just incredible artwork-wise. Still works great in the graveyard deck I'm building.

Wow. This is quite nice card in discard deck, if used right. And really cool art. Although I don't know what it is.
