This art is flabbergasting.
This card is flavorful in the Fallen Empires story and was amazing at the time: the best black fatties had upkeep BlackBlack.
Nowadays it is considered a very normal thing to have creature breeding, or FREE creature breeding AND MANA BOOST. It's free food for giant monsters... Oops, I forgot that giant monsters don't have drawbacks anymore, or children cry and stamp their feet...

Great art. A card that was almost intended for Lord of the Pit alone.

Of course in the old days, wherever this was, Lord of the Pit and/or Minion of Leshrac wasn't far behind. For today? Hm...

Doubling Season + Mass Polymorph. You can quit paying the upkeep after you're done with this. Sure, a G/B/U deck would be an odd combo, but if it works, do it. Then you can throw in all kinds of big, high-mana cost creatures in trade for all the tokens. Just don't put a Phage the Untouchable in there.

For all the beating its reputation has taken over the years, a fair bit of Fallen Empires stuff combos nicely with newer stuff like proliferate and Doubling Season.

Great card, the upkeep is a bit of a pain. Still, very useful for providing a non-stop flow of black creatures to be sacrificed to various spells and beasts. Try it with Soul Exchange and watch your armies come back to life even stronger than before!

A little overpowered there, Demiajor? Awakening zone is your answer to that, except that it costs (2G) instead of (B), and the eldrazi spawn make colorless mana. And it's still kinda broken.

This is the only way I've been able to use hecatomb. Then I wised up and replaced it with Death Pit Offering. Attrition and Mind Slash work with this too.
