Bloodghast is actually based off Nether Shadow.
It might not show it as clearly as Nether Traitor regarding its name, but Ichorid is in comparison definitely less related to it.

But let's get back to Ichorid itself - neat card, great fun with Buried Alive and/or Madness effects.
One of those cards you'll almost never see getting hardcast.

Bloodghast is clearly based off this, but it doesn't come close. This guy used to be a powerhouse.

Mind Funeral vs. Ichorid?! THAT'S THE STUPIDEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD OF O.o pedrodyl fails at MTG :P

Even if you can mill them far more than the normal decks, hoping to get them because of a low land count, you still end up stacking their graveyard for them. and they'll always be playing Bazaar of Baghdad and probably Drakmor Salvage will get sided in against you. You can try to play that card, but Manaless Ichorid has very strong responses to it. If you don't kill them outright, you give them everything they need to kill you outright.

And I hope you are playing BUG, because if you aren't casting that Mind Funeral on turn 2, you are gonna die to Manaless Ichorid just because speed. :P

If you read the card, you'll see that a black creature other than Ichorid may be exiled!

Weak. It's half a BaII Lightning, so why am I paying extra for it?

Probably my favorite black card ever. He gets a 5/5 for the art alone; the fact that he's also super powerful in dredge decks is just an added bonus.

5/5 for the art
5/5 for power
5/5 for defining an archetype.

Ichorid deserves absolutely nothing less than 5 stars.
