Death to 1/1? Psh. Why not get an Onyx Mage out and be death to anything that's not indestructible or having protection from red? Hah XD Course, 3 color deck and all that, but at least this and Onyx both only require the one colored mana each.

@Darth Parallax: Too "WTF" Infect, deathtouch, and indestructility are not in flavor for red, neither is higher toughness than power. Also, good luck trying to get the RedRedRed AND BlackBlackBlack. Lastly, CMC-5 doesn't fit into many mono-red strategies (where else would you get RedRedRed), and especially not red/black

With Assault Strobe and similar cards, he almost has triple strike. If only he did 1 more damage on his super First Strike ability.

I let this card die when he should have lived during one of my prerelease matches. My opponent was very young, and it was his first experience in such a tournament. He was low on life, I was not, we had traded creatures until the Ashmouth, equipped with a Silver-Inlaid Dagger, was the only creature left on the board. On my declaration of attack, he flashed in an Ambush Viper with a huge smile on his face. I could see his pride in having played a flash card to it's best advantage, and I decided I wouldn't break this kid's heart by pointing out that his creature would die alone. So, I let our creatures trade, and hopefully got some Karma out of the deal.

Every time I cast this creature I yell DEMON DOGS just like Thundarr the Barbarian. :)

Also, I'm rereading Test of Metal, Tezz's Planeswalker Novel. Unless you've read Agents of Artifice, or the Artifacts Cycle, I guarantee you you haven't read a Magic book half as good as Test of Metal. Stop reading the block novels and just stick with the Planeswalker series- they're worth it. Anyway the point is, one of the fight scenes involves some 'Magma Scorpions'....they were described as being horrifiying unkillable and bad-tempered. I wanted to make proxies of them :)

So I figured I'd start with this guy, and just add stuff till it was crazy enough to plausibly terrify a Planeswalker as powerful as Tezzeret.
{2}{R}{R}{R}
Indestructible
3/5
Burns creatures for 2 instead of 1, then an activated ability-
'gain deathtouch and infect' for {B}{B}{B}. Probably be Mythic Rare.

Too weak, too powerful, or just awesomely right?
I'm considering giving it reverse hexproof to prevent ... (see all)
