At ? Dayum, that's scary. Dropping it on anything with First Strike becomes a frighteningly effective killspell, and when it rebounds, they will not want to block your Black Knight with much of anything.

I see the reason why they set this card up as they did. While the two abilities contradict each other, they instead make a card that has increased versatility. you can use it as removal if you can/need too, and it also acts as a pump that can allow you to get that extra little bit of damage through, which is particularly useful for black aggro decks. Plus, it allows you to use it Eldrazi Spawn tokens or Plant tokens, which are 0/1 and otherwise wouldn't be able to kill anything, even with deathtouch

Combat tricks are always fun, and this is a goody.
More power with your death touch means you can kill two more of the creatures blocking it.

Now Chimney Imp can truly rule the skies! When I have it on the field and I attack, it can take down that darn Storm Crow. The greatest battle of all time has finally been won.

This card is so great. The reason the +2/+0 is there for those who are wondering is in the case of multiple blockers, you can deal 1 damage to each blocker and kill them. For example if I cast Stormblood Berserker without damaging my opponent it's only a 1/1 but it has to be blocked by 2 creatures so you can use it to get bloodthirst or your other creatures. If your opponent does block it with multiple creatures then you cast this bad boy and kill both their creatures.

@Arostorm, for 1 blue storm crow would have an unsummon up his sleeve.

Wasn't great for me at the prerelease, but when I needed it, it practically saved the game for me. Getting your Eldrazi gang-blocked stings much less when you play this and kill all (rather than some) of the creatures blocking you.
