He's really not all that amazing, he may have been when he came out initially and there wasn't oblivion rings left and right, unmake, resounding silence, sword of kaldra, maelstrom pulse, world queller, and other exile cards. Now the power level is much higher, and the other spirit avatars with their unique abilities are actually much better choices. You have to have at least two of the demigod of revenge in a deck to even make use of its ability, and one oblivion ring wrecks your whole strategy. After that he's only a 5/4 flyer with haste.. which isn't bad, but its not good either. If you had a dominus of fealty you could even steal their own demigod of revenges and smack them around with it. A mind control or a confiscate will also really ruin a demigod of revenge strategy, as would a simple counter spell, or if they are against white control hail of arrows and path to exile.
It's still a good avatar if no one messes up your combo, but once they do the other spirit avatars ar... (see all)

The only thing I see this monster walking into is Surgical Extraction and Memoricide. That's about it.

except that the demigod is ***roach cannonfodder, i would still dump a Fists of the Demigod on each one. the fact is, wither is possibly the most destructive ability in this game excluding Oros, the Avenger's ability to cast 1.5 pyroclasms on non-whites (even better in 2 headed giant, as you're partner can Magical Hack him so he destroys the colors your opponent uses but you dont). while the Demigod of Revenge is an offensive Linemen, he isnt the best one. there are better and bigger cards for this cost. he is still up there in the great range though. The Demigod cant actually resurrect his buddies if they were killed by wither damage.
i still think Oros with Fists+some form of lifestealing is the best offensive linemen, as that combo just destroys everything with a thermonuclear warhead.

If this guy got his own movie, he'd need only one line: "I KEEL YOU! >:D"

Well you're right, this guy is already a great beatdown card.
And it works nice with cards like Intuition or Buried Alive, too.

I think this is my favorite cycle of all time. So fun (and almost broken, but not quite).

Awsome card, but maybe just a little too powerful, because reviving of dead Demigods can't be conutered.

Yes, while this card can get removed it can come back. It's not a question of what can remove it, but a question of what can't remove it that makes some cards good. Also, he is quite powerful. Five mana can potentially put 20 hasty power on the battlefield.
