this has got to be one of the most under rated cards ever. it can kill 2 creatures for 0 mana...its always a suprise to kill with out mana...and often enough you would have a card in hand that isnt very usefull at the time

This is very nice card. It's the 2nd best "pitch" card from Alliances. Obviously, Force of Will blows them all away. This card is a nice way to kill/weaken 1-2 creatures. Even better, you can do it without paying mana. This card has definitely had a big impact on a number of games for me. 4/5

Unlike the other pitch cards (even FoW), this one is actually somewhat reasonable to cast normally. 5 mana for two removals isn't that bad.

Dear {B};

As part of our agreement, here is your part of the cycle of cards that allow exiling a card in your hand as an alternative cost. We are sure this is on the same power level as Force of Will.

Cheers,
Alliances

Saved me in Allied Nations. I had lost 20 life from an opponent with Quest for the Nihil Stone and just barely managed to kill him with Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief. I was at five due to an ally with lifegain instants. But then my other opponent swung with a 7/2 flying. everything I owned was tapped (Drana and my swamps) so he just told me I was dead. Then I played this.
To me, 5/5 from now on.

Wow I came across this hitting 'random card' and almost didn't read it because the writing is small on my screen and there's a lot to read. I read the oracle text and am pleasantly surprised! Interesting.
It's like a double Weakness.

Is it just me, or does that cat just look really sad. I mean, if you draw pupils in the top right hand corner of its eyes like it's looking behind, which I thought it did at first glance, it just looks compassionately distraught about these dead people.

Solid removal because it's 'free'.

Unmask sorta made up for this. Has it's uses but feels underpowered.

@Kindulas Yes. I think you are right. The cat on this card has always struck me as looking very sad. He seems distressed and though he never meant for any of the contagion to happen.

How to beat Zoo.

Step 1: This card.

Step 2: Random black card you don't care about losing.

Step 3: Profit.
