@shotoku64: Black gets draining effects. Notice how they lose life, rather than Ob deals damage. So he's sapping their life to supplement his own.

I'm thinking of throwing this in my Liliana of the Dark Realms deck. Her primary ability can pretty much guarantee a land drop every turn, which makes this guy pretty happy!

This guy is pretty much a classic Demon in one way though...
... he works extremely well with Dark Ritual, as the earlier you get him, the more lands you can throw out to cause more pain!

It's flavor text like this (and whatever it does or does not imply) that made Zendikar block so fun and interesting.

I'm reading the background story of MTG. Its interesting that this guy use to be a Planeswalker but lost his power.

Hmmm .... overall, a terrific design; think about it guys:
1) ramp up land, cast him turn three or four through some machinations
2) play land
3) deal three damage, get 3 +1/+1 counters
4) cackle like a bond villain
5) do it all over again.
i'm just saying though ... this goes well with Liege of the Tangle, provided you have a ramp deck. It'll be the gift that keeps on giving (for you at least)
5/5. this is a seriously powerful card.

What I keep hearing is "he can be killed by lightning bolt, he sucks" but you know what, play him before you play your land per turn then he's basically a 6/6 for 5 CMC. He's fantastic
