I was wondering the same thing. It gets reprinted twice less than year apart. Still a pretty cool card.

Anyone else think it should have been "The sacrificed creature deals damage..." instead of "Fling deals damage..."? Seriously, you're throwing a dude, doesn't the dude do the damage?

This way, you could Fling a deathtoucher and instakill anything. Or Fling a lifelinker to gain life.

...Or did WotC just explicitly not want that?

So, I have a question and after about an hour of Googling, I can't answer it, so I'm gonna ask it here.

I'm thinking about some sort of Gruul aggro-midrangy thing. I wanna use Ruric Thar, the Unbowed but I've run into a little issue with how casting works. If Ruric is on the field, and I use Fling, sacking Ruric, do I still take the 6 damage Ruric does to me for casting the noncreature spell, Fling? Basically, I'm asking if, in technical, tournament Magic (FNM is as serious as I've ever gotten), are costs paid before or after a spell is declared as cast (and related effects are performed)? If they are paid before, I would imagine I could Fling Ruric in for an additional 6 damage without taking any myself, basically as a sack outlet (opponent takes 6 from casting their spell since it goes on the stack before I Fling Ruric in response) for some Supreme Verdict nonsense or something. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I found something in the rules in 601.2a-h but I can't make... (see all)

I'm running this in my Gruul Aggro right now. Great when my bloodrushed creatures get hate. I Fling them, get the damage through, and they've wasted removal. Been pretty good so far. Wish I'd discovered this sooner.

They need to reprint this every core set ever. The combos are just too beautiful.
