Lure/Regenerate, anyone? Still, even by itself, this is one cool card. And it's a Demon, so that counts for something.

So due to the new wording of the rules, the olde lure/regeneration trick doesn't work anymore. Good thing there is Indestructibility.

Now there's Darksteel Plate and Nemesis Mask, but despite being better that auras such as Regeneration and Lure, it seems everyones' favorite combo still can't break the three-card barrier.
Great concept and actually quite playable for its time. Could probably be used in Commander in some silly fashion.

One of my favorite magic cards. The art totally reminds me of Baphomet in Clive Barker's Nightbreed!! And I loooove that movie!
The Italian version is named "Il Corrutorre", which means "The Corruptor", which is actually an even more fitting name. I once even wrote a metal text with that title...

I'm a fan of Christopher Rush (the artist) and the image on this card takes me back. Back before card protectors and price guides. Back when mana still burned and the card pool for designing decks was maybe a tenth of what it is now. When, this card was brutal.
This card still holds weight if used in combination with one of the cards mentioned by others who commented before me, but by himself he's pretty useless. Nine times out of ten your opponent is just going to take the two damage and avoid any thievery of their blockers.

Better than most of the actual legends from that set, could have been a legend itself, got the right flavor.
Most of the time your opponent will just take the 2. Even without Lure, slapping on an Unholy Strength to make this a 4/6 would make it a big enough threat to no longer ignore. If they still choose to take the damage, this could be a good target for Howl from Beyond for lethal damage.
Of course, we expect much more of our creatures now, but games were much slower back then.

Try Lure & Fog instead.

Lure + Darkness.
