Wait, Ravenous Demon is the GOOD side of this card? (nervously clicks)

Why did he have to be the PR card?

(bustles off to make "sac a human" deck)

Gets along well with Thraben Doomsayer.

Turn 5: Cast Ravenous Demon
Turn 6: Sacrifice my Disciple of Griselbrand, transforming Ravenous Demon. Swing for 9. Fling for 9. GG?
And since he has flying and trample, there isn't much my opponent can do.

@HowardTreesong: I actually did that during prerelease. My opponent locked it down with Claustrophobia, so I cast Traitorous Blood to borrow one of my opponent's Elgaud Inquisitor, sacrificed it to get the 1/1 spirit token and to activate the transformation, then cast Fling to deal 9 damage. Still lost, but it was a really close game.

I feel the same way, vividice. We had wurmcoil, gissa, and sheoldred last block. Now we get...this (and mayor of avabruck, which suffers the same).
Ravenous Demon is not a bad card. You are, in effect, getting a nine power demon for cheap. Dirt cheap. My problem is not that he's bad (he isnt), its that he was given as the promo. With the exception of perhaps Seanc'e, I'd have gladly taken any other rare or mythic in the set. The majority of them are super useful in a huge variety of decks. Ravenous Demon, however, is not. Still a good card, but you are forced to build around him, rather than being able to just shuffle him into one of your casual fun decks for the lols.
There is a significant problem with cards that force building. What happens when you don't draw it? what happens when you don't draw what's needed to activate it? what happens when you dont draw what you need to keep it going? This is why deck synergy is a better strategy than combo.
Compare to Splinterfright, whic... (see all)

Kryptnyt - you can only transform him as a sorcery.

Why is every one hateing on this card, it's not a bad card. Good if you running a deck of white and black and use Increasing Devotion and combo with Skirdag High Priest, That way you'r loseing humans every turn but gaining demons thin well run out of humans flashback Increasing Devotion then what ever u can think of to make it better. simple.
