Surprising there's no comment here about Ashmouth Hound. Get a Lure on that puppy (no pun intended) and you'll have a wipe of all your opponent's untapped creatures most of the time. Even if you don't or don't have Lure, it still makes the deathtouch this guy gives be a one sided kill even against first strike or double strike even.

@devilsanddemons. Only before M10 man. Only before M10.

I can see this having some really strong political effects in EDH. Just having two mana open and a chump you can steer your opponent's fatties away from you. In addition, should they decide to use removal on it, it's likely they'll have to waste more resources getting rid of him than you did putting him on the board. He falls nicely into that zone of "not worth getting rid of, but too good to let live" that will keep your opponent's guessing.

Limited gold! Make every attacker a problem and every block a No Mercy/Dread.
It's not the best for Standard (as all of you can see), but it was a great card to throw in those Intro Decks for beginners. It makes them learn about combat tricks.
Well, at least it made me learn about it! Pick 2-5 worthy! This, plus hundreds of other reasons, is why I loved M12 limited.

I don't see why this isn't rated at least 4. Just facing off against a Giant Scorpion can sometimes prevent an opponent from attacking. Now, make all your creatures potentially a Giant Scorpion.

This seems really good; especially in tokens/weenies.
REALLY too bad it's not just target creature. You could screw up some serious multiplayer with that, especially in edh

The new deathtouch - now with 100% more gang signs!

Very useful later game in my BR Bloodthirst deck, when I have a significant number of creatures and enough mana but nothing in my hand. Suddenly, they all have deathtouch.
Particularly brutal with Blood Ogre.
