I just read The Gathering Dark by Jeff Grubb, and these were mentioned. Yay! I know my Magicz. Anyway, this card is cool, even if it is a little black-mana intensive. I personally like it.

The Fallen's creature type is now Zombie. Does this fit? Personally, it doesn't seem undead to me.

I've always liked the artwork on this card. Now that it's a zombie, I may pick up a playset to add to my zombie deck.

The fallen are wizards who manaburned themselves to death. They played a part in the 'gathering dark' book.

Is the flavor text a reference to the average mtg player's propensity to splurge and spend tons of money on boosters?

Attack, deal them a damage. Sit him in front of 2/2 utility creatures . Laugh maniacally.
You have to actually *think* when you read old cards.

This artwork still terrifies me. Thanks, Jesper.

Although most people won't think so, this is an extremely devastating card, they work amazingly well in b/u control deck along with vebuilds. Just pop in a couple paradox haze's and you've got up to 5 recurring burn every turn :)

dont think of this as a creature, think of it as an enchantment that deals 1 damage per turn. it multiplayer, think of it as enchantment that says 'target table targets you with target table attack'
what is a table attack? its where the whole table attacks you.
if you're worried about the density of black mana symbols...may I point you to Necropotence and Phyrexian Obliterator? you might as well. if your already running mono-black, then you really dont have any excuse not to at least THINK about it.

I was playing a jujitsu deck a while back and my opponents had anemic starts, and I couldn't get an advantage because there was nothing worth doing. Someone brought out this, and it was the best creature on the board by far. So I made about 7 copies of it, and got through on each opponent with at least one of them. That experience taught me that this card is crap. The game still didn't really progress, even though none of them could get anything going. The problem is that once you get through, you can't attack with that copy any more because it does more damage if it doesn't get killed. So it becomes an expensive, awkward wanderlust.

OH GOT THE EYES.
Also, I like how I can attack someone once ten years ago and it will still damage him or her every upkeep

Does this mean changelings aren't Fallens?

This is the kind of card I think should have made it into Innistrad block as a reprint or a rehash. Love the art, and the mechanic is cool. used to used Hermetic Study with these guys, now I would use a razor boomerang, or a werewolf's quiver
As far as story flavor goes, zombie wizard, would be a great creature type I think.

Frankly, I found this thing scarier when it WASN'T a zombie. It's like, what IS that weird thing with the red eyes and creepy grimace??? Funny how simply giving something an air of familiarity can take away some of the creepiness. That's human psychology, for ya. (The fact that I could simply Lightning Bolt the guy may add to that, too. :P )
Any effect that mentions "This game" is awesome. COmbo that with cool art and decent cost and I think we have a fun little casual card to break out in zombie EDH.
