I...
I didn't even see the trample the first time.
That's just adding insult to injury. This card is crazy overpowered.

Dump him in a mimic vat.
... what? You were expecting a more complicated strategy?

To this card:
No. Go away. Nobody likes you. You are second only to Elesh Norn on my list of things to Terminate. Also possibly other cards. But really....
No.
4.5/5

Broken.

A 5/5 trampler for 4CMC would be a reasonable, powerful card for monoblack to possess. But that little orange-red symbol changes things, it seems.
I am all for Magic making mythics unique and rather powerful for their cost. But this is a perfect example of them thinking that mythic grants them free reign to make a card as powerful as they desire.
I rated it 5/5 because its insanely awesome, but I think its the worst design for a card I've ever seen.

"Broken. Extremely overpowered. Black already has too much without this hitting the field. What blocks this thing AND sees standard play? Its predecessor was strong enough. They didn't just take away the downside, they reversed it.
Whining? Hell no. Why doesn't Wizards just do what they did here to every card? Let's take Phage and say, "When she comes into play, if you played her from your hand, you win the game."
Argument: "But she can be countered!"
And that's EXACTLY what the arguments are like for this guy. He's overpowered and we all know it."

..Over reaction much? First off, what are these other "powerful" cards that black is dropping in standard?
You think he doesn't have a downside. What about him being mono-black? Does he do anything when he first enters? No? What about when he's removed? Still nothing??? This guy hardly ever sees play, and he's slowly been dropping in price because of it. If he was broken, wouldn't he be seeing more play? Wouldn't he b... (see all)

So I guess something fun like Phyrexian Negator just wasn't obvious and easy enough to use for the soft-headed noobs out there. It just had to be mocked with the creation of this card.
...Ok.
Looks like Baneslayer has a new butt-buddy.
Those of you saying that it's not overpowered because it has lots of removal against it are COMPLETELY missing the point. It's ridiculously extreme mana efficiency for the power that it has. The fact that it doesn't have any protection doesn't matter in the slightest. And don't even start with the "it's so restricting because it's mono-black! /cry /cry" argument.
Would an 8/5 creature with a 4 CMC not be overpowered because it can be Mind Controlled? No.
Would a 5/5 creature with Trample and a 3 CMC not be overpowered because it dies to Doom Blade? No.
Would a 5/5 creature with Flying, Lifelink, First Strike, and protection from 2 large creature types with a 5 CMC not be overpowered if it were called "Baneslayer Angel" and given ... (see all)

Anybody that doesn't like this guy is holding out because they love old power and old cards. It is nice to see a new mover and a shaker out on the battlefield. I've played with this, it is powerful, yet it can also be defeated. Black has always had crazy big horrors or demons or whatever that had to be dealt with immediately. I think it even has a relatively classic feel and look on the battlefield, especially when you see the fear in the opponents eyes... third turn, nice; second turn, awesome; first turn, Obliterator!!!

Freaking IMBA. What the hell was MTG thinking. MBC for the next expansion set because Liliana maybe back?
