if you can use it, Parasitic Strix is better (at least in my oppinion).

Eh, kind of a boring card if you ask me; at least it has a cool creature type.

I know its a rogue right but how come it only says human mercenary on the card. If you're playing against someone that would be annoying trying to justify that its a rogue when it doesn't even say it is. WTF

Just tell him to look it up in Gatherer for the latest update of the card

That guy TOTALLY just smacked that woman right across the face. And with quite some force, too!

The only issue I have with the card is the artwork:

There is no way this artwork would show a pretty young woman (the type that make up 99% of female figures in fantasy art/games) getting smacked in the face. No, it has to be a pantomime dame.

That's pretty much *** when you think about it.

I think the point is that she's supposed to be a member of Mercadian nobility, meaning that she's not just rich but downright decadent and corpulent, and her appearance has to reflect that.

@Baconradar; its a Masques card. Mercadia has a lot of fat powdered clown aristocrats.

The dude looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

On a more serious note, this is a popular choice for Recurring Nightmare/Survival of the Fittest deck back in the days. Any deck with repeat recurring could use this card.

Unless you need Human, Rogue or Mercenary for your creature types you should always choose Bloodhunter Bat over this.
