It's already been mentioned, but Gisela seems like a great fit for this. Her first strike ability keeps the second effect of the equipment from kicking in that often. Oh, and she of course swings for 20 damage with it.

You can also use this to great effect with Spirit Mantle. Now THERE'S a threat.

The best thing about this card?

It works incredibly well with any damage eaters you happen to have (Gloom Surgeon/Phytohydra/Stuffy Doll).


The worst thing about this card?

It's not thematically relevant to any of them. I just can't see total domination in the form of a sock puppet, plant, or doctor beating the sanity out of you with a flail.


For theme decks, Outrider En-kor + Phytohydra, Fatal Attraction + Gloom Surgeon, or Pariah + Stuffy Doll are much more appropriate.

Probably going to run this in my standard double strike deck, alongside Silverblade Paladin, Fencing Ace, Rally the Peasants, Champion of the Parish, etc.

Double-strikers? Too predictable.
Use Little Girls

Inquisitor's Flail + Assault Strobe + Tainted Strike + Relentless Assault on a Little Girl =

1/2 damage + 1 from Tainted Strike = 1.5 damage
Doubled from Inquisitor's Flail = 3 damage
Second strike from Assault Strobe = 6 damage
Second combat phase from Relentless Assault = 12 damage = 12 poison counters.

Good game. Little Girl one turn win without boosting her Power. That much. Believe you can do it by Turn 4 without too many tricks:

Turn 1: Little Girl
Turn 2: Inquisitor's Flail
Turn 3: Equip Flail, Birds of Paradise or something
Turn 4: Rite of Flame or something, Assault Strobe, Tainted Strike, Relentless Assault

It becomes permanent if you use the higher-cost Fireshrieker instead of Assault Strobe/... (see all)

It's double strike that stacks with double strike.

Fun times.

I love how this fits the flavor of black so well, colorless though it may be - yes, for only four mana you're getting double damage, but it can just as easily come back to smack you in the face, and hard. That sort of deal-with-the-devil thing is why I love this card so much in my Infect and Vampire Tribal decks.
