It may be considered worse than oblivion ring or even path to nowhere, but it is a 1/3 creature. This card was probably meant to be flickered with soulshift, conjurer's closet, etc. It gets rid of a single creature and gets you a creature that can block or attack. Sure, it dies to removal spells like doom blade or lightning bolt, but it gets rid of a removal and/or a creature. Realize that they could have blocked with this creature and you can swing in with one less creature to worry about. It is basically two spells in one.

The Flavor of this creature for Sorin's Deck is rivaled only by the flavor of Undead Slayer. This being the Innistrad-version of that, this is a good choice for the deck. Striking a careful balance of Human, Spirit, and Vampire Tribal nods or actual support is difficult to do, but gets you Great Vorthos Props if you build a Sorin deck carefully enough. :)

what do you think of this combo?
cast a champion of the parish then cast a fiend hunter and target an opposing creature,then a second fiend hunter and exile the first one (returning the opposing creature).then a third fiend hunter and exile your second one,return your first and exile the third return the second and exile the first..... this way the champion of parish can get infinite +1/+1 counters.or if you cant stop this loop(because there is no creature on your opponents battlefield) just end the duel with a Draw. some tutoring is required to make it work.

@kronos1225
you can end the loop anytime you want "(...) you MAY exile (...)". Other than that it works just as you said.

Is it just me, or is this guy's arm as big around as his head?

For additional fun: Angelic Chorus, Captain of the Mists, Court Street Denizen, Auriok Champion, and last but not least: Vigilante Justice.

This plus Strionic Resonator will equal a fun time in Standard :) Two Oblivion Rings for the price of one!

What's that? You mean I can just keep looping the same Fiend Hunters for the infinite lulz? And I can bounce it to trigger things like Champion or random Ravnica abilities that involve creature-summoning? Or all those lovely M14 healing cards? The hell you say? *Bender-esque chuckle*
