This card can work very well in a multi-colored deck

I've always wanted to break this card, but could never quite figure it out...

how do you remove its counters? whenever you want? seems too easy
Hahahah, I've figured out another combo for this guy: Pyrohemia and Everlasting Torment with lotsa burn so you make sure your life total is higher than your opponents when the last part of the combo hits the table.

Yea, this guy is pretty awesome. The Dark One has a good point about an in-set infinite combo. Morselhoarder and sinking feeling work really well together in themselves, if the combo isn't assembled yet. You can store up to 3 mana until your next turn, or you can use him to convert mana into any other color, like a Prismatic Omen without giving your lands the landtypes.
You could use that with Tropan Ascetic to make use of the infinite untaps, glare of subdual for free creature lockdown, or banishing knack for creature bounce.
Last, he in himself just makes scarscale ritual essentially cost U/B.

Significantly better without mana burn. Use against those pesky Ichorclaw Myr and other infect creatures. Or use with proliferate, why not both?

so long as i have out just copies of him and at least 2 carnifex demon in my B/G, no creature stays on the field other than these guys. EVER. remove a -1/-1 from Morselhoarder, add 1 {b}. use that to remove a -1/-1 from a Carnifex Demon and put a -1/-1 on everything else. It keeps my Carnifex's at -2/-2 most of the time, but who cares? I have at least 2 4/4 fliers (not that it matters) and a 6/4 mana generator. GG?
You may think he is overcosted as a 6/4 for 6. But look closer. Morselhoarder can be a 7/5 with trample, or be a 6/4 with hexproof and haste, or even an 8/6 with pro white and red and whenever you deal combat damage with him your opponent loses life equal to the cards in their hand and you gain life equal to the cards in your hand.
Paying for equip costs or enchantments makes this guy a two for one that can be very, very big.

Wow, this is nuts for a common, could easly have costed another mana or have only 1 -1/-1 counter. 5/5 Stars
I feel like this would have been way more flavorful if it was "Remove a counter" instead of "Remove a -1/-1 counter". It would change in function very little, but feel more like it was eating whatever it could get.

Quillspike would also be quite good, if you had a constant resource of -1/-1's.
Plus, legal in pauper. 4.2/5.
Crazy.
This is without even considering the massive combo opportunities.
