This guy was cool back in the day, but way, way out classed in terms of other token producers these days.

He's a "Legendary Creature — Zombie Wizard"

My friend used to run a deck with this guy in it. He loved making weird tokens. He ran Breeding Pit and other generation effects. I don't remember what his win condition was though...

An interesting creature, I still get a chuckle when I read the original text, "a minor demon token", it just brings a multitude of strange occult images into mind...

This was one of the first repeatable token generators, although The Hive is better because those tokens have flying, while these ones do not...

May be outclassed (badly) but Mr. Boris has still got flavor.

I love these old legendary creatures. It seems like back then the developers thought legendary was an advantage thanks to cards like Adventurers' Guildhouse.

I can't take seriously the idea that a one-mana creature can be 'Legendary' anyway, unless it's a Goblin.

or the classic one-W costing Farmboy Hero. he can't shoot, he can't ride, he can't anything, but he saves the universe anyway. stupid dumb kid luck xD

if this guy's activation cost was reduced all the way down to a Rakdos (R/B), and the demons could fly, I'd play him in a heartbeat.

Aww, they Oracled his tokens into demons named minor demon. Otherwise, Mistform Ultimus and Changelings would've been Minors XD.

Early on, they seriously overestimated the value of repeatable token creature generators -- compare to The Hive and Serpent Generator for similar silliness. Oddly, Fallen Empires, of all sets, was the one that started to fix this, what with Goblin Warrens, Thallids, and the Breeding Pit.

Even though it's majorly overcosted, I still like this card, since at the time token creature generators were so rare.

Boris. Why always "Boris?"

He makes "Minor Demon" tokens! They have the type "minor" and the type "demon." Because of that, all changelings are minors... so don't even think about sticking your dick in one.

I know you were.
