Such an amazingly creative mechanic, yet such a bad damage/cost relation.
Wish this would at least inhibit regeneration such as Incinerate, or deal a greater amount of damage.
I guess this would have found a bunch of play with these stats and a mana cost of ![2](/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&name=2&type=symbol)
.
Along with artwork and flavor text, Vorthos is like "Hell yes" - but Spike just thinks "Hell no".

So cool...AMAZING FLAVOR...but I agree with everyone else. {3}{R} would have been better for me, cuz its {R} for the lightning and {2} Drudge Skeleton and another {1} for the skeleton at instant speed.
However as it is now your paying {2} for the instant speed, which is fair...whic means the card as a mechanic isnt amazing.
Still really cool card...possibly goin in an EDH deck for that reason alone.

So all Magic creatures are so potently magical that even their skeletons can fight?

Combo Lightning Bolt and Drudge Skeletons that works at instant speed? Wow.
3.5/5

5 mana to kill a creature and get a drudge skeleton.
Volcanic Hammer + Drudge Skeleton +
for instant speed.
Okay I tried, its overcosted.

Overpricey; Compare to Lightning bolt, with this yoou get a {4} mana Drudge Skeletons, which is a bad deal.

Don't think of it as an overpriced incinerate with a free Drudge Skeletons. Think of it as a tiny overpriced regenerating Flametongue Kavu with flash in {BR}.
Or a red Mind Control.
