@Guest934104240, He wants it to have wither because wither synergizes with non infect creatures better than infect does. If this guy is your only infect source you need to swing in unblocked five times to be lethal. On the other hand, if he had wither, he would be just as tricky versus creatures, but probably need to swing in less to be lethal, since he has the rest of the deck lowering their life total.
@Maniac_zombie, You cant put Claws of Valakut on this guy, hes pro red.

@Maniac_Zombie...you say there arent enough cool zombies with infect? You sir need some Phyresis in your life.
Infect, first strike, sexy protections, 3 drop cost. Gear this bad boy up and you got yourself a wrecking ball.
5/5 without infect. Adding that in is like getting a wink of approval from your wife before you go to the strip club.

I run mono black aggro, and if I could pick two colours to have protection from, it would most def be red and white. I want one without infect =( Then again, there's always Sword of War and Peace, but that price tag...

Does NOT fall to pyroclasm since the damage is prevented from any red source. DOES fall to Day of Judgment since it's not damage and it's not "target".
I want four of these dudes for my mono-black standard and it's not even an infect deck! I figure with four lashwrithe and two caress of phyrexia it will have a decent chance of winning me some games practically by itself. I'm hoping people would let it through a couple of times knowing that it's my only infect card and thus opening themselves up to caress.

A legit threat in Legacy if you doubt him; first turn Dark Ritual into him is a six turn clock if you can't deal with him. Doesn't fall to Swords to Plowshares nor Path To Exile, nor Lightning Bolt.

His only downside is how bad he makes most other infect creatures look. Sometimes I feel like the pro red was litlle much, but I won't complain since I play him lol. Seriously in mono black, turn 3 drop him, turn 4 if you can do it safely drop the lashwrithe and wreck shop. In other builds you can definately do other things. Stonewood Invocation? Might of Oaks? Deffinately the bar to which most any other infect creature should be compared. And a high one.

Obnoxiously powerful.

@LordRandomness: It truly does, and at first I laughed at that: how something so powerful would die for something so near-meaningless. But then I realized that something this unnatural just might have a weakness related to something as natural as a couple of hornet stings.

More annoying than Vampire Nighthawk against red/white decks.
Mass removal is pretty much the only way either mono white or red can deal with this card. At least it dies to Day of Judgment.
