I run 3 in my mono black discard deck. The opponents hand empties often and this card can get ridiculous really quickly. Insane artwork too.

I run this in my black-red discard deck and im telling you guys, it'll surely gave ur opponent panic as the flavor text implies...back it up with creatures like Rotting Rats with Demigo of Revenge (discard Demigod of Revenge), Hellhole Rats and Sedraxis Specter and u will surely dominate... spells like Blightning, Mind Rot and good ol Tyrannize and other good discarders will make ur opponent concede in no time...

Ok I needed to say something in the defense of this card. This card is NOT supposed to be played fisrt turn yoyur fist turn should be if lucky dark ritual then duress then hymn to turok that gets rid of three cards in there had (hopefully some are lands. Then next turn comes around and you break down there hand even further. On third turn you can nyxathid out and he may even be a 5/5 or if extremely lucky a 7/7 you are supposed to drain there hand and control there hand size for this lovley card to work out correctly.

Sorry, Daanz; I just have to comment on how retarded that is. Playing it on turn one often means your opponent has 7 cards in hand (if they muliganned to 6, they'd draw one anyway) causing it to be a 0/0 and die.

Yes this is a good card though. It comboes well with blightning , rotting rats, possibly scepter of fugue or most good discard stuff.

you can't turn one it, because you need to make your opponent discard cards or it will die to to state based effectcs (which is never fun). unless they mulliganned.

Playing this on turn 1 from your hand would get you a 0/0 creature. How is that anything other than terrible. I guess if you went second it could be a 1/1, or maybe a 2/2. Still, giant waste.

How about a 7/7 on turn 3? I run 4 in a STANDARD discard deck and have done it 14 out of 17 games.
