So it's a merrow that eats marrow? *rimshot*
Buuut yeah. Not so great except for the novelty of literally feeding your opponents dead minions to the fishes.

I hate it when great art gets wasted on a meh card. And when a great card is graced with meh art. In this case, it's the former.

Is the art a throwback to Dread Specter? Probably not, but the similarity is weird.

He's not great, but I like using him when I know my friends have Elixir of Immortality in their decks.

My two favorite things: Merfolk and Black creatures. If only it's effect didn't suck.

Played on turn one he can easily keep the opponent"s graveyard clean all the game so i don't think he sucks at all !

I think something is being missed in the discussion so far. Because the first ability is so mediocre, the second ability is being glossed over. This is a 1 mana 1/1, that is available to block the turn after it attacks as long as you cast a black spell that turn. It's not vigilance ... but it's probably as close as mono-black will ever get to it apart from Ghost Hounds. That puts it at a solid 3/5 for me.

Remember, this is a 1/1 for Black that untaps every time you cast a Black spell. There are more tap effects you could give him that might be more relevant, especially in block.

He's got this ugly cute thing going on. Yeah, he's all scaly and whiskery, but look, he's scared you'll take his precious little bone!
