Curse you M10!

This card was designed to work with the post sixth-edition, pre M10 rules... Other sacrifice cards lose a lot of power, but this one loses 99% of his power! Needs an errata!
The idea behind this card is great, so I give it 4/5, but now it should be 2.5/5...

Still a far more useful crazed Goblin than Crazed Goblin itself, but i'm upset about the flaw this card got from the M10 rulings as well.
I really used to like that guy, but now since he isn't able to destroy his blocker anymore this card lost a lot of power...

Normally i don't complain about errata and rule changes, but some M10 rulings intended to simplify gameplay for beginners screwed up a lot of older cards.

What about that errata:
": The next time damage would be dealt to target creature this turn, destroy that creature instead. If you activated this ability during the combat step, sacrifice ~ at end of combat. Otherwise, sacrifice ~."
This should be added to about any pre-M10 creature with an activated ability that requires saccing it, but it's possibly to confusing to be added to them. Dang, i simply wish Wizars returned to the old rulings.

Poor guy, he used to be so classy, just like the flavor text implied. We will mourn your passing, Kill-Suit Cultist :(

new rules....?

NOOOOOooooooo

This guy had no comments pre-M10? That's...odd.

If I knew either the 6th Edition or the M10 rules relevant to this card, I might care more.

The funny thing about Blue is, you actually need to know a lot fewer rules. Priority? Ok, I counter that so I don't have to read it.

So much for being the 'smart' color.

@DarthParallax: There's still the decision on whether to tap-out or keep mana up for counterspells. Which is why wizards likes to print draw spells as sorceries. And even when a player plays a spell, the blue player has to determine whether a spell is worth countering or if his/her opponent is holding out on their key spells for when they ARE tapped out.

The Magic 2010 rules were done to fix this overpowered card!

Except he's still good with cards like Prodigal Pyromancer.

Wow, this thing is nearly useless now. Poor little maniacal psychopath...

Basically mediocre long-range deathtouch. Use him with Pyroclasms effects to kill the fatty that would've lived!
