The problem with this card is that it was especially designed to work in the Kiln Fiend Deck, Outside of that context it's a fun little card, but it doesn't do much else.

@MisterAction, by that reasoning no card is ever strictly better. You can make the argument that any card is situationally better than any other. Sometimes black lotus is worse than thran dynamo, but it's so situational as to be irrelevant. Time walk is strictly better than time warp, and lightning bolt is strictly better than shock, even though one game in a thousand the opposite it true.

@Blackworm_Bloodworm: Weeeelllll... it's a better card than Infiltrate, but still not strictly better. Infiltrate is an instant.
Why do you need to make a creature unblockable at instant speed? Say you're in a multiplayer free-for-all and you want to try to help one opponent finish the other one off. OR, perhaps you're being attacked by a creature with deathtouch and Lure; Infiltrate is the difference between taking a few points of damage and losing all of your creatures.
Yes, those are extremely situational, reactionary advantages, but they're enough to preclude strictly-betterness.
@doombladez: Your'e correct, and that's kind of why "strictly better" is a silly concept to argue about. The cards have to be nearly identical to qualify. Lightning bolt is strictly better than shock; however, Mulldrifter isn't strictly better than Divination (just i... (see all)
