I hope masterofetherium unhinges his jaw, swallows you whole and absorbs your pedantic mumblings.

Paired with darkest hour, all creatures can't block.
Throw in Ashenmoor Gouger, and this guy has nice synergy.

Greg, did you spend an afternoon posting that nonsense on EVERY card in the Commander decks that you don't like? Geez, just calm down already.
The real issue is the fact that this card has the very real possibility of being a "color hoser" effect on *your own creatures.*

It has the cost to be played in a multi-color deck, able to totally disable a black deck's defense in coordination with some vigilance, this could be a game-changer. I can imagine my opponent dreading to see this hit the field.
That, and the cost/power ratio is remarkably good, although, seeing that he can't block, I probably would have preferred that extra point in power instead of defense.

He basically gives everything swampwalk. Best use for him is sideboard. Darkest Hour can help quite a bit or instead Touch of Darkness. If you consider those and his high splashability he's really decent in a blue/black deck looking for unblockables or similar; he's on curve and comboable, if mediocre
3/5

umm....I thought the EDH crowd was supposed to be tolerant and happy with most cards? able to see the uses clearly instead of being whiny dummies?
1. play a three color general, to get lots of good spells.
2. play mostly in two colors, black will be for spells, not creatures.
3. except this guy. who will hose all the other black decks, with their Mimeoplasms and their Skullbriars and their Karadors and their Ghaves and you get the point.
4. In non-EDH, you can have good enough manabases to where you run 4 of this guy in the sideboard, and no real 'black' sources, just prophetic prisms and the like. use AGAINST black decks.
just because he's a demon spirit, doesn't mean he plays nice with even his own color. Black does anything to win. up to and including betray itself.

I don't really understand why they put cards like this in the decks.. They could've reprinted something that actually deserved it.

He's not the best card in the world, but considering you get him in a deck that is not mono-black and 3 of the 5 decks that are being sold have black cards, his disadvantage could at least also hurt your opponents

crap. the drawback is WAY too much for the gain. 2B is good for 3/2, 3B should be good for 3/4. So +1/+1 for making all opponents characters unblockable. sounds fair
