Sick nasty when you're in multiplayer and you have other big guys on your side. Hey, why attack one player with a 35/35 Lord of Extinction when you can have Xathrid Demon munch on him and wipe out every player in one swoop? This is a MUCH better card than Lord of the Pit because 1: he costs 1 less than LotP (a 7/7 flample for 6? Hello?), and 2: he actually DOES something to your opponent(s) whenever you feed a guy to him! This is one heck of a card to have on your side if you have enough creatures to feed him with. He would go great in a black/green deck.

I use this guy in a necropotence deck that takes complete advantage of hand size. Cast Promise of Power, Kagemaro, First to Suffer, sac them to my Xathrid Demon and deal sick damage to my opponents. It's like dropping a bomb each upkeep, then attack with a 7/7 flampler.

Should be a 6/6 so it isn't strictly better thal lord of the pit.
I understand creature creep is kind of necessary but LotP was pretty balanced. 6/6 would balance this, not too OP but it's a bit over the edge.
Still I like it alot and it is pretty demon-like 5/5

Sick Artwork and more usefull than Lord of the Pit since you can cause some damage to your opponent just by paying his cost..WoC should create some lesser 2-3 CMC demons so we could play with a real Demon Tribal deck and get really rid of all those Freaky Imps from The Divine vs Demonic Decks..Do you listen Wizzards??? Give us finally some ways to make a real respectfull Demon Deck and Kick some Angelic @$$ at last!!!!!!!

If you can get enough creatures out this card will mean DOOM to your opponents!

@Belz
Xathrid Demon sacs, which circumnavigates regeneration. Nice idea though.

Not in constucted, but in Limited will rock socks for the lucky few who pull him. Also in tribal caual as a very solid replacement for Lord of the Pit (not strictly better, Lord didnt tap, but this is better).

This is better Lord of the Pit. Yeah the "life loss" is worse if you want to use circle of protection: black or some deal, and the Lord does not tap, but if your going to feed either demon, this is the demon clearly you want to feed. And he comes out quicker with the exact same flying/trample body.
