Sorcery speed creature kill with Obsidian Battle-Axe.

Seems to be a small preview of Naya's "power 5 or greater" theme.

Look in the background. Looks like Bloodshot Cyclops is his trainer.

A bit weird, but he's devastating when it starts working.

I like this card. It's like a puzzle. A very deadly, bolder-throwing puzzle.

In terms of auras and equipment, you can run this with Serra's Embrace, Auramancer's Guise, Mammoth Umbra, or (perhaps most awesomely) Sword of Vengeance so it can deal at least eight points of damage per round.

He's back!

... Okay. Weird card. But maybe good if used properly.

3.5 because I like the flavor but have no idea what to do with it.

Combos beautifully in set with Flowstone Embrace.

Sisyphus!!!!!

I love cards like these - it has a powerful, flavorful ability that nudges your inner Johnny to figure out how to get it to its full potential. Plus, how can you not root for the little guy? While there are a ton of flavorful ways to activate his ability (see the Scars of Mirrodin reprint comments for a few), Taste for Mayhem is my favorite in terms of flavor. His pure malice and desire to cause harm finally gives him the strength to pick up that rock and toss it - a fevered strength that becomes that much greater when he is out of other ideas.
