It was pretty awkward when I roflstomped a guy playing this with my meek and pitiful Drake Familiar. Pretty awkward indeed.

Bitterblossom is such a deadly card. For any of those cards that require a mandatory sacrifice (Old Demons, for example), this is a perfect solution to that.

I run a Mono-Black Contamination Control deck, but I used Ornithopter's and Kobold's as my sacrifice outlets. If I can somehow Dark Ritual into Contamination on turn 1, I've essentially started a clock against non-artifact and non-black decks.

If I fetched out for a playset of this, I can do so much more without relying on the 0-cost creatures (although I have 24 in the deck)...

It is $12+ each, however...

This *** of a card killed my parents and burned my house down. Definitely a massacre.

Criticize this card all you want, of course it's expensive. But when you can't summon anything and you're swarmed by boosted up faeries then you know how this card is so devastating.
I've seen someone running mono-black with this, beat them by leaving them at one life.
If you're going to run such a card make sure you actually have some synergy with it before you waste $40-50 on a set.

one of the better enchantments in type 2 format runs well in fairy decks and black and white tokens recovers from any wog type spell so many ways to protect it with scion and mistbind clique along with only losing one life you can use glorious anthem with it to have bigger tokens very useful card one of my favorites

Even in decks that can't abuse the faerie status of this card, it is still very good. A single point of life a turn is such a small price to pay. Turn 2 bitterblossom has caused a lot of sighing where I come from.

Very, very strong card. Pumps out attackers or blockers in exchange for life putting a definite clock on the game for someone. A must-remove threat.
