The token comes into play if he leaves play so if he gets Oblivion Ringed you get a token. The mana cost is fair and an Undead Warchief can make him cheaper.

Grixis is the scariest place ever.

Not a bad card, though totally outclassed by Grave Titan now.

One of the useful things about him is the fact that he DOES NOT produce a token when he dies he produces it when he leaves the battlefield. So if he gets bounced or Exiled then you get a token.
So I'm thinking combine him with Mimic Vat you've got a token generator. However, he is expensive for what he does.

I wouldn't say he's a bad card - good in limited - but he doesn't really justify the cost. Problem is, 3BB would have been out of place in Alara, and 4B would have been a stretch, so there's probably not actually a better cost for him.

How on earth is this guy not getting more love? He's a 6 cost, which is probably the worst thing going against him, but he's a 4/4 that puts a 2/2 into play when he dies; While that's not as good as say, the Broodmate Dragon, you've also got to take into account that he can make a comeback, dragging another little guy out when he leaves again, and at a cheaper price too. Either way you look at it or get it into play, this guy has got more punch than most people give him credit for.

He's a bad card, its pretty obvious. When a player summons something on turn six, they usually will need something more useful then a vanilla creature that only produces a token. Also the token is only brought into play if the slavedriver dies; definitely not worth paying six mana for.
