I've also experimented with an archtype similar to this in Lyrasia

Looks quite underpowered tbh. With the card on its own, you're never able to deal more damage than its going deal to you - actually you are always behind since it doesn't have haste or anything like that and the trigger is your end step. 3 life per turn is a harsh payment.

For example, Carnophage is 'nice' (twice the damage) while Sangrophage (1.5 times the damage) is quite weak and that card is a lot more powerful than this.

­Flesh Reaver is more akin to the card you're looking for though even it doesn't damage you when it isn't doing anything (ie. is in 'block duty').

Mmm, matching up all the 3's is nice though. Could this be given enough utility abilities (fear -> menace seems appropriate for a grim; or deathtouch) to make up?

Lovely name though!

I suggest saving this by giving it flash. Too much? Use haste instead. Both are available in black. Now I probably would in turn reduce the toughness using those keywords.

Another simple alternative would be to change the trigger condition. "At the beginning of your upkeep", "Whenever ~ attacks or blocks", "At end of combat" etc.

yes, haste would be quite good. Maybe even making it have 4 power. I will do a quick edit to the stats.

This would be super flavorful with Flash, maybe i'm just really excited to see black start to get it ;0

flavorful? do you mean like a jumpscare? that would be funny, not necessary on an aggro creature tho. He already has haste.

It's fine how it is. I just think it's a really Jumpscarey name

Like a jeeper creeper looking at you thru the window!

Or a minecraft green-boi blowing up your house!

Can this site disown me for that comment?
