This card is awesome with pretty much and direct damage creature. Especially Lightning Crafter or Crypt Rats.

I want to make a deck with this, Glistening Oil, Aura Gnarlid, and a bunch more tasty Auras. Rancor and some Totem Armor auras would do nicely.

Compleat IS an actual word. Albeit an archaic word, but its still a real word.

I for one like the card, It allows infect decks to actually consider non infect cards, and makes something like a Terra Stomper even more of a threat.
From a flavor standpoint, it also seems to fit this new Phyrexian force, turning the innocent creatures into their weapons of war.

its not strickly better then tainted strike. they fill diferent roles. tainted strike is a combat trick on a unblocked creature and gives it plus 1/0 which is amazing wiht infect. phyresis is meant to turn somelike a duskendale wurm into a game winning creature.

I have an infect EDH deck that's BGU, and this card is awesome fore it. I had been running Quicksilver Titan to become a 7/7 Blight Mamba, but with this, I can maybe take a more useful ability from an opponent's creature and still let it be a giant infect threat.

Not every creature in an infect deck necessarily has infect, you know. If you aren't running Skinrender you're an idiot, and guess what it doesn't have.

@AnTzero: Heartless Hidetsugu?
He would draw the game...he deals damage to all players...unless you got under 20 life before you cast him, you'd just make everyone mad/neutral instead of everyone mad and you happy.

I don't understand why this card is so under rated. For 2 mana, you can turn your Leatherback Baloth or Primeval Titan into a lethal force! Giant Growth, Avenger of Zendikar for blockers, Garruk Wildspeaker for his ultimate, etc etc... Now that green has removal in the form of Naturalize or Creeping Corrosion, I don't see why anyone would want to skip this, unless you are simply using green for mana ramp and the cookie cutter, highly over used and boring valakut deck.
