From Making Magic, July 08, 2013:
During a playtest, I play a Reaper from the Abyss. I attacked each turn, my opponent chump blocked (he had a lot of fliers), and then I killed a second creature. This happens until he had only one creature left. I attack, he blocked, and then the following dialogue occurred:
Him: Kill your demon.
Me: What?
Him: My guy died so you have to kill a creature.
Me: Yeah, but why would a demon kill himself?
Him: I don't know. He's depressed there's no one left to kill.
Me: That doesn't make any sense.
Him: I don't care. It's what the card says.
I then take out my pen, remembering Rakdos, and wrote "non-Demon" on it.
Him: You can't do that.
Me: I redesigned him while the effect was on the stack.
I love MaRo.

I like how scary it is, but it's trying to make itself look as the good guy.

I honestly just love how utterly black this card is.
Oh, you like death? Have some more death. Mmmm death.

Its a demon worth its cost and has any extra removal ability added on to it. I can see why this card is mythic rare.

This card is blacker than the blackest black, times infinity. He's a Demon armed with a freaking doom blade that demands more death if something dies. So black, so metal. Glorious.

be warned this card is very demony. his ability lacks a 'may' clause. if something dies and you have any other creatures than demons and they have none (or hexproofs/shrouds) be prepared to start pickin off your own dudes.
that being said, he won me some games at prerelease, but mostly just because he was a 6/6 flier. his ability makes him fun to drop after combat for extra surprises.

There's a very simple two card combo that can use all of this guy's potential: this and Stitcher's Apprentice.
Had this combo in a draft. I won.
