All three black rare creatures currently blow up your own stuff! (RB02 Deranged Nihilist, RB03 Jarvis the Unstable) That's a bit too nihilistic even for a set with deathtrap. Move this to set 2 and create a new black rare fatty here.

Why not just pump the cost up and reword it to "At the beginning of your Upkeep, targety player sacrifices a creature." Still very much in Black as an ability and has the drawback of your having to target yourself if you have the only creatures. Feels like it would fit right in with Deathtrap and such - just much more blatant about what it does.

Heh. That's quite fun, but it's very similar to one of my black rare noncreatures: RB06 Aristocrats' Oppression.

Commented on Aristocrats' Oppression, it's OK but a Diabolic Edict like ability is even crueler as it can take out Prot Black/Indestructible/etc creatures - and it makes the controller choose which one to off (very Griefer). Still, there are other options. Like:

this as a 2/2 at same cost with "At the beginning of your upkeep, this gets +2/+2 UEoT unless any player discards a card at random." (It's such a horrifying horror that I wiped a part of my memory so that it wouldn't be so horrifying to remember) heheheheh - Kinda Hypnotic Specter on 'roids

Hm. Nice suggestion. I like it, particularly since the flavour text can be used to bring out that flavour.

Heh, the flavour text is awesome! I would definately run four of these in a discard theme deck.

Just making sure you noticed that if your opponent can't discard a card, you still have a 4/4 flyer. That makes it considerably better than the hypnospecter... I'm just saying.

It hasn't got Flying

It's a very good card, yes. It's like Oona's Prowler, but a lot harder to kill. I may need to watch the power level, but I don't think it's particularly stronger than many rares in a typical recent set.

Oh, yes, you're right. Comparisons to Hypnotic Specter, made me assume it was flying. Much better.
