Arguably the most flavorful card in the entire block.
I REALLY like it for that reason alone.

For the sheer cost I'm playing, they better not get a free token out of the deal.

@steev haha, genious comment dude!
When i first read the card i was like "Wow, they've outdone themselves again with the flavor of Innistrad cards!"
After reading your comment, i smirked about the thought of several man running with a gallow during the heat of a battle towards another man and hanging him before he could even react to that. Then i also noticed that with all those supernatural creatures on Innistrad (particularly spirits), a gallow probably might not be the most reliable way of killing things in the first place...

Humans can hang things from the gallows at the hill that doesn't appear to actually have a willow anywhere on it!

This card is way over-rated. Three mana, plus tap three of my creatures to destroy one of theirs, and they get another one to replace it? That is a bad deal.

It's rubbish. Three mana to put down, then once per turn you can pay another three and tap down three of your humans just to remove a creature - and they get a free spirit?
Nah.
Very flavoursome but just useless in the game. Slow, over-costed and unwieldy to use (you need three humans with nothing better to do for a start) and you give them a spirit. Dreadful creature removal, there are so many cheaper and easier ways to remove opponent's creatures or sacrifice your own.
Yes token decks could use this, but in many human token decks this will be a very slow play when you have various cheap Champions and Paladins doing a lot of damage.

Considering that you have the potential to use this on yourself is actually beneficial. In a spirit token deck, using Avacyn's Collar and Doomed Traveller, you could tap three humans and kill Doomed Traveller and get 3 Spirit tokens. Throw in Parallel Lives and you have 6.
It's a shot in the dark, but it's potential is there. It's just too expensive.

Why not use it after Act of treason? Or one of the many other similar spells. Steal, swing, replace it with a 1/1 flier before ot goes away :D

Too expensive, IMO. 3 mana AND three creatures? So deliciously flavorful, though.
